Speaks to something deeply wrong with capitalism that Lampert was allowed to annihilate the value of this company to less than nothing while still walking away with hundreds of millions in profits for himself from the saga.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

the week between christmas and new years is for moving from room to room with your bag of treats

ADMIRAL OZZEL: ...that's my only real motivation, not to be hassled about the rebels escaping again. well, that and the fear of getting force choked by darth vader. but you know, bob, that'll only make someone work just hard enough not to get force choked

darth vader is never going to get the best performance out of his subordinates if he refuses to give them positive reinforcement

THEODEN: ride now! ride to ruin and the world's ending! Fuuuuuck! THE ROHIRRIM: FUUUUUUUUCKK

the shit I care least in the whole world about is whether the story about the Earl of Sandwich is true. yes it fucking was. my man was playing cards and eating meat with his hands and then he said hold up check this out. you won't believe this shit. bring me some fucking bread & hold onto your hats

ME (sleeping with someone for the first time) (sean connery voice): welcome to the cock

"HE CUT OFF THE OUTSIDE OF THE HANGER SO HE COULD DRIVE TO THE ER"

the day after christmas, amirite

I’m from Whoville, and I say kill the Grinch!

Remember: There's always strength in a union. Solidarity.

watching miracle on 34th street and a whole lotta motherfuckers learning about petards and hoisting thereupon. mr. macy all like, FUCK no I ain't ruining santa, I'll just commit perjury. little kid on the stand going "of course there's a santa, my daddy wouldn't lie to me" lol got your ass pops

🇺🇸 trifectas get <one> shot at doing something Obama chose policy (ACA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem Biden chose policy (ARP/IRA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem The platform must be <immediate> institutional reform next time. Right from the start, as @dhnexon.bsky.social said

annual viewing of muppet christmas carol: achieved

It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs! It's mostly just the US that's being left behind

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

this thread, & how much fun it is to be a pedantic dickhole, feels like the gateway drug for people becoming trolls not me, of course. I'm built different. better

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

NEW: Riley Gaines, the former collegiate swimmer turned right-wing media figure, made $474,313 last year from the conservative nonprofit org, the Leadership Institute. More striking than her total comp was the way it was structured. For @sportico.bsky.social 👇 www.sportico.com/business/med...

Q: So you are the one who decides which children deserve nice things and which don’t. A: That’s unfair. I’m saying that, through the magic of Christmas, I can understand the heart of each child and through that special bond— Q: Can you see into the heart of every child? A: Yes.

but I'm using them

ME: here we are in the olympic village. damn, you're in really good shape, huh? what's your sport? THEM: speed skating ME: they say the athletes have a lot of sex THEM: (dubious) how old are you? ME: 50 THEM: and what's your sport? ME: breakdancing THEM: isn't that summer? ME: shhhh lover

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

watching a christmas film (pronounced fill-um)

and a happy shrimpmas, one and all!

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

one way I'll hand it to donald trump: talking and acting like an extremely stupid middle school bully truly resonated with a lot of people. like WAY more folks than I ever, ever would've expected. "'sleepy joe' lol, where does he get his material"

fucked up to think about but there was two grinches on noah's ark

Remember in history books "Radical Republicans" are the ones who wanted to abolish slavery.

so funny that when trump tries to think of someone "highly respected" his first thought is "bankers." like, buddy, haven't you heard

BARI WEISS: unless we get an official, on-the-record response from the administration the nuremberg trials will simply have to be delayed. have you tried asking goebbels nicely

PHILIP RIVERS UPDATE: rivers has been replaced by riley leonard, a literal child the reason the colts have never started riley leonard is that he doesn't yet have object permanence so before every snap he thinks the ball is gone and starts crying

pulling philip rivers in the 4th quarter so he can watch the local news from bed before falling asleep

(immediately after taking a sip) the far left,

there is one and only one political strategy, and that is: “hang trump like an anchor around the neck of every single elected republican and the party itself.” no ‘friends across the aisle.’ no ‘the fever will break.’ anyone not on board with that has to go. no exceptions

when philip rivers is looking at a tablet on the sideline he's actually watching an episode of matlock

this is the sound it makes when daffy duck runs directly into a telephone pole

I know she's just kind of saying whatever, but it's on-brand for Bari Weiss to review a damning story about the US sending people to a concentration camp and respond "we can't air this, have you even asked Tom Homan if he feels bad about any of it yet?" Perfect readout of who she sees, and doesn't.

(wearing quite a large hat) Future’s made of virtual insanity, now

my wife: "damn, that's a sweet ride"

oh my god philip rivers you magnificent geriatric

it's time to shut down hellman's for crimes against christmas and humanity

he HAS been missed

this made me so happy

replacing the water in the fish tank with egg nog

If you're arrogant enough to call yourself "the free press" and make your identity being a "feisty and fearless non-conformist," you can get away with a lot, but the one thing you can't get away with is killing a story because you think the president won't like it.

UPDATE: I sent the article to my Connection, who thus far refuses to even read it. "I don't know who dave mckenna is" "I'm busy" oh RIGHT. this is how a hamspiracy gets started

ME, A BRAVE CONTRARIAN: the sheeple say you need "oxygen" to live. yet most who ingest this chemical die
