Cancel your Paramount plus subscription today it’s the one thing they’re afraid of and it will harm their attempt to buy WB / CNN
It’s interesting that the administration wants you to know that Bari Weiss is in league with them.

it must have felt so good to be the digital media manager when the word came down to unschedule the piece from the 60 minutes feed but no one said anything about unscheduling it from the international website

I can think of like …. three things in life I would sleep fine at night doing paid promotion for

one is this show / the HCCU (Hallmark Christmas Cinematic Universe) just in general

the other two would be like Lego Botanicals and the Chinese restaurant by my house with really good soup dumplings

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

DC residents have been refusing to call that airport anything but National for almost thirty years, we certainly can refuse to call that arts center anything but the Kennedy Center for three

He should clearly do one of these every night.
So every time Trump claims he has a major primetime announcement the networks will give him free live airtime to give a MAGA rally speech?

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Just took about an hour to complete day 8 of Advent of Code, losing maybe 10 minutes (some in part 1 and some in part 2) to Reading Comprehension(TM).

I then asked Gemini to clean up my solution and it schooled me on my crappy algorithm. github.com/cshabsin/adv...

I just realized... I only ever see frozen peas for sale at the grocery store (except for sugar snap peas, which are generally eaten with the pod on).

Seems like you used to have to buy them and shell them yourself?

All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

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
