Holy bleep (wasn't expecting this, given the monetary advantage the other candidate had):
BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.
Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.
This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

1/ Tomorrow, #ACIP —the external advisory committee that guides U.S. vaccine policy—will meet for two days. Thursday’s agenda will focus on Hepatitis B (Hep B). We’re expecting to hear a few falsehoods to start circulating along with some unsupported safety concerns. Here’s what you should know 👇

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff.
GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him.
(This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

Reminder that "firing on the shipwrecked" is literally THE example used in the DoD War Manual of "a clearly illegal order"
“Leavitt told reporters at the White House press briefing that Hegseth authorized Adm. Frank Bradley to carry out the second strike, which reportedly killed two people who were hanging onto the burning vessel after an initial strike.” Wow. 12/1/25 thehill.com/homenews/562...

you can immediately clock WKRP fans just by seeing whose face lights up with these 10 little words: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
“WKRP In Cincinnati” premieres 47 years ago today — a show that creator Hugh Wilson based on radio staff he knew from his days in advertising.
“Every call letter that I ran through my mind was already taken,” he said. “I think WKRP was not taken because it can be said that it spells ‘crap.'”

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.
