Nobody is betting against Bari Weiss. Not wanting her to succeed is not the same thing. It's abundantly clear the current plutocracy will pour endless amounts of money into talentless hacks who write fluffy propaganda about how everything's fine and complaining is cheugy. That's why she sucks.

It’s not brave to be contrarian all the time. It honestly just comes off as stupid

I made wings. Garlic buffalo sauce mixed with a little blue cheese dressing.

Bowl full of orange wings with a side of blue cheese dressing.

Wings again, idk it just looks better if you post two pictures. The blue cheese dressing is not in frame here.

Vance is having an incredible morning on the Sunday shows doing "oh so now it's illegal to [mundane thing]?"

A real quote when Vance is asked about whether Tom Homan kept the $50,000 he got in a fast food bag: "Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services?"

"Settle down, Mary" and "Lighten up, Francis" seem like opposites but mean the same thing.

This is good and also why Vance is going to fade away after Trump's gone. I don't think Stephanopoulos would do this to Trump but just because Vance is the way that he is, it's easier to ridicule him like this.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Banacek is an old show that dares to ask the question, "What if Steve McQueen was the insurance investigation agent instead of the thief? Wouldn't that be cool?". And you know what, i think it is cool, but it's a wild premise. Having to think up of new heists all the time must've been exhausting.

This is like a joke idea you'd write in a sketch about people who do too much cocaine. An ice cream shop, but the ice cream is HOT! Also as you point out I think Tyra might have a devastatingly low opinion of Australians.

It's journalistic malpractice to post this kind of headline without any sort of qualifiers or really just to print this at all.

Trump, 79, has "cardiac age" of 65-year-old, doctor says

Donald Trump was found to be in "exceptional health" in a medical evaluation, the U.S. president's doctor said in a memo released by the White House on Friday, with his "cardiac age" 14 years younger than in "chronological age."

Watching Lady in the Lake as I heard it was a POV Marlowe detective story and inadvertently discovered a new Christmas movie. It straight opens up with a bunch of Christmas carols and a credit sequence via Christmas cards.

It’s cool we’re gonna make eggs a seasonal treat and make everyone get the bird flu because we ended the CDC. So much winning

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 21h

“We will see a similar pricing pattern from last year, where we will have higher prices in late fall and winter due to large bird flu outbreaks. Egg prices could double during that time period, and then, as we get closer to summer, when the bird flu is ramping down, we will see a decrease...”

Egg prices could skyrocket as bird flu cases are spiking earlier than expected

Culls of millions of birds are sending egg prices soaring, with experts warning there’s no end in sight

This is why all the "record ICE interactions citizen!" coming from Pritzker is such bullshit. ICE is kidnapping people off the street without due process and recording them doing it so far has done fuck all. Cops have bodycams and the ability to intervene when someone is breaking the law, we don't.
