Pinned tweet from old Twitter acct: Trump infected people long before he got COVID. He infected them with viciousness, with hatred, gave them the disease of callousness and cruelty, thinking you can laugh when someone mocks a disabled person, jeer along when someone insults his political opponent.

this piece praises Mark Knopfler as well. It is a surprisingly great score. It's melodic and traditional, but very restrained.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

A couple sat down at the table next to mine in the fancy mall food court area and they are now having a very emotional breakup. There are no free tables and my headphones died on the way here, so I guess we're riding this thing out as a trio

Artomyces pyxidatus, the Crown-tipped Coral or Candelabra Coral fungus, was not seen in the UK over the entire 20th century, its last record in 1886 until a spate of recent findings around 2022, which is when I found this specimen (in East Kent). Where did it disappear all this time?

Tom Homan is an ugly man. And he's not very good-looking, either.
In case anyone is wondering, this is exactly what Satan looks like…

The last time Indiana won an outright Big Ten title, 1945, the leading rusher was George Taliaferro.
The next spring, he was the first Black player to be drafted by an NFL team.

It is one of the favorites on this list that is actually well-regarded by everyone.
I LOVE this movie, and the music is hauntingly beautiful from Dire Strait's Mark Knopfler. He wrote the entire score.
