I get sticker shock over the price of movie tickets sometimes but I think it‘s because I’m culturally expected to complain about it like airline food being kinda bland

VARNEY: Do you work 18 hours a day?
MIKE JOHNSON: More. More. And I have to, because President Trump works 21 hours a day.

Gotta give Dedham a W on this one
The priest at a Catholic church in Dedham defended his parish’s decision to replace nativity figurines of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph with a sign reading “ICE was here,” saying the gospel is clear about treating immigrants with respect. trib.al/Ob5ptDw

Oh no he might be tormented in his last days too! That would be terrible!
Just saw an explanation that Trump is getting monthly IV Kisunla treatments meant for Alzheimer's patients. And that he has 6 months to live. And I'm going to just accept that as complete truth.

People are clowning this but there is ambiguity in the ending. Ed Tom thinks he’s a failure and that maybe it’s pointless to think you can protect anyone but it is left to the viewer whether Ed Tom is right

Boston is pretty expensive and I’m feeling downwardly mobile in general but it was nice to pick up my son by bike and do a playground crawl home. Only in Boston baby*!
* also many other places

1/ I may write something about this, but I've noticed some folks, notably Noah Smith, but others as well, deriding the $140,000=poverty in today's US guy.
So I thought I'd work out what a family of 4 budget would look like in my well-off Boston suburb (Brookline).
TL:DR--pretty damn tight...
