My kids have one more day of break before they head back to school, and the little one got up, got her breakfast (nutella on toast) and cranked on the tablet at volume 10 - she's living her best life and we're in the home office

I love having the holiday just with our little family - we just decided the menu, we lounge around during Christmas day - it's very low stress and I'm grateful for that.

I think this is the fourth of the horsemen.
The Ellison family’s desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidation—
They would own Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, TikTok & a host of major cable channels
