You've never heard of me, and if you say you have, I've got only one question: Who gave you this address, mom?
He/him.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.

This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

Remember that the holiday season can be hard for those who have lost loved ones, like President Trump losing Jeffrey Epstein after he had him killed.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Alas, last night we lost cell service, WiFi, and half your gifts because Santa got really involved in a Yankee Swap during our ride. But we wish you the happiest of holidays!

One fun thing about the Japanese is we love the FUCK out of Christmas and have only the loosest concept of what is going on
Merry Christmas! Please enjoy the opening to this Japanese Christmas concert special that I watch every year.
As far as I can tell, this has otherwise been scrubbed from the internet

Make sure to be asleep before Santa arrives. Otherwise he’ll ask you if he can still make things work with Angie. Then you’ll ask “Who’s Angie?” Then there go three hours of your life.

With only hours to go we're still frantically, blindly making gifts with whatever supplies we have left. So if you get two twigs wrapped with a cable tie, please see it for the Leatherman multitool we thought we were making.

Today, for the first time since I started paying attention, the Tesla lot I occasionally drive past was NOT packed with unsold Cybertrucks. I think they've all finally been called back to the mothership. #BeOfGoodCheer

Santa has started loading the sleigh—before we could put name tags on the gifts. So if you get something four sizes too big or you’re deathly allergic to, you can return it for your actual gift Dec. 26–30, 1–4 am, in person at the North Pole.

From what I understand, this is what’s referred to as a “K economy” where certain people are experiencing growth, but others are experiencing significant decline and tough times.
But WHO did it grow for? It's a valid question.
Diane Swonk, chief economist at accounting firm KPMG: “Consumers are still spending and there’s been extraordinary investment in data centers, but we’re in a very odd situation where the economy is growing without generating jobs.”

The U.S. economy grew at its fastest pace in two years this summer, capping six months of robust growth that economists caution is unlikely to continue.

The promise of AI is that we can all return to manual labor jobs.

Economic growth surges in late summer, the highest in two years
“This was the strongest six months of growth since late in 2023, but it certainly didn’t feel that way for most people,” one analyst said.

Earlier this month, PBS (still kicking despite the GOP defunding public broadcasting in the US) released its own documentary, "Surviving CECOT", which is also worth a watch, focusing on three individuals:

I just posted this Internet Archive link to Facebook, where the aunts & uncles, grandmas & grandpas who watch 60 Minutes after football games live. It’s important that this story doesn’t just circulate on Bluesky.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

I've always had a certain level of respect for CBS News and 60 Minutes. Not so much the corporate scavengers who made ugly compromises to buy them. And Bari Weiss can go straight to hell, obviously.
Anyway, ICYMI, some folks found that thing you didn't see last night. Use it in good health.
