Last month, I got a commission to write an open-source data project on the recent Radiohead tour for the BBC Verify live page (and plotted a speculative social media video). Yes I was. It didn’t work out… As the year closes, I thought you may like to read it. Merry Christmas.

I thought about this overnight. I actually thing the best pick is this guy. Starred in some bangers, but gets you most Cohen brothers films, many Adam Sandler films, a bunch of voice credits, and a ton of other stuff. If you include TV, it's even better.

It is bad that Charlie Kirk was shot and killed.That does not make him a good man. You don’t have to make him into a martyr just because he was a victim.Painting Kirk as a role model for political discourse requires either a staggering ignorance or intentional neglect ofwhat he actually stood for.
“Kirk and many other Republicans have been enabling, endorsing, or outright facilitating political violence against their opponents for years.” www.liberalcurrents.com/not-all-vict...
Not All Victims Should Be Martyrs
Charlie Kirk believed in advancing right-wing political goals and attacking left-wing opponents by any and all means necessary—including political violence.

![“Question,” Epstein wrote to Maxwell on May 23, 2008. “Which one do you prefer,,, lewd and lscivious conduct ,, or procuring minors for prostituion.”
At the time, he and his star-studded team of defense lawyers were closing in on a generous plea deal with federal and state officials in Florida, and Epstein was trying to negotiate the state charges to which he’d plead guilty. Maxwell’s response was matter-of-fact:
From: gmax <gmax[REDACTED]>

1. Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel want everyone to think the so-called Steele Dossier was a major source for the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. No, it wasn’t — an assessment of the “dossier” was included as an annex, which they haven’t released. Why?
