I'm watching the SNL 50 Concert on Peacock. I was so happy to see DEVO! I bought their albums because of their appearance on SNL. Of course, I bought them from Columbia House through the mail. (That's how old I am! ) #snl50

I thought the roast was in vacuum sealed plastic. I set in the fridge to thaw. Tonight I noticed red liquid on the bottom shelf of the fridge. It was not vacuum sealed very well, but now I know it's thawed. Threw some old stuff out and cleaned the fridge at midnight. Happy Thanksgiving!

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is one of our most efficient agencies. Costs less than $1B a year & has fought to return over $20B directly to Americans.
But I guess it makes sense that a billionaire wants to eliminate one of the agencies that fights for working people. 🤷🏾♂️

And just like that, Donald Trump gets away with his insurrection. Something that would have never happened in any other democratic country on earth. Astonishing.

We need to be prepared to fund the organizations that will fight for the constitution and little d democracy.
Like others, I fear the threat of government retribution, political vengeance and an angry right-wing mob. But I know that giving into it will only strengthen Trump and undermine the future of our democracy. Trump wants us to be scared. He wants us to give up — gradually and then suddenly.
The Choices I’ve Made
From Marc | Since the election, media figures and outlets have followed suit — each moving gradually towards obedience to Trump and then suddenly.

What made my skin burn most wasn’t that over 75 million people voted for Donald Trump. It was that this election didn’t seem to measurably change anything for the boys around me, whether their parents supported Mr. Trump or not.

Hi everyone.
The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.
We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.
I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
