They can’t afford to offend the ever-sensitive Billy Binions of the world.

Last night I went to bed early and watched Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. Wife asked me why I skipped Temple of Doom. There were far too few nazis for the mood I was in. I think it helped.

The goal of this "anti-corruption" campaign by MAGA is to undermine and roll back the social safety net Remember how Chris Rufo started off with "Critical Race Theory" which ended in the functional end of DEI and attacks on all of our institutions of higher learning SAME GUY SAME PLAYBOOK Wake Up

Fact check true

NEW: A judge ruled Dec. 30 in my lawsuit that Northwestern DA David Sullivan’s office cannot block the public from seeing the names and case numbers of police officers who have been charged with crimes like possession of child pornography, assault and battery, and driving under the influence.

Social network for Scooby enthusiasts, call it JinkedIn.

“Hey Dad, I forgot to give you this on Christmas.” “Oh? That is a unique picture! What is it?” “It’s a candy cane but I didn’t have enough time to color it in.”

Just discovered the joy of taking down Christmas decorations while listening to tiki music.

The biggest* laugh that many people elected Trump as an isolationist/non-interventionist and are now cheering our foreign adventurism, while at the same time you are still going to see talking heads argue that dem politicians need to follow public opinion. *most depressing

Just today Kiddo asked to play Roblox with her friend, but not the Hello Kitty where to go around with a knife stabbing people and cutting limbs off, and I’m like, I don’t care about that, it’s the weirdos and nazis that I don’t want to worry about. But that’s sort of hard to talk to a 7y/o about.

JFC people, bash Greene all you want, but do you have to post that obnoxious picture and link to the NYT? WTF are we even doing when we are giving clicks to the outlets who are trying to rehabilitate her? What does that accomplish?

Is this NPR's subtle tell that they have been kidnapped?

I have no idea why so many people prefer 7 Wonders to It’s a Wonderful World. The former is clunky and complicated, the later… isn’t. And the dystopian theme slaps! I just got the expansion to IAWW and it’s just a bonkers good game. It’s so good, I made it easier to travel with!

Just played Endeavor: Deep Sea and holy shit, talk about analysis paralysis! There is a right way to play that game, and I think i need about a dozen more times to figure it out! But… I want to play those games, which means it is good!

Got River City Glassworks from PAX Unplugged last month and gave it to kiddo today. It’s a great family game! It’s like an advanced multiplayer version of Mancala.

I think I am super stoked about Christmas this year because I didn’t get to make Thanksgiving diner, so I am now making up for it today. Huzzah!

TFW your custom printed solution gets ruined cause you got an expansion

Props to the asshats setting off fireworks at quarter to eleven. It’s great that I just got kiddo to bed and have to set the house up for Santa’s visit and then there are massive booms outside waking them up!

Playing an early access game called Whiskerwood where you run a colony of mice forced to pay taxes to a kingdom of cats. It is delightful and challenging. It’s more about logistics than about policy. Like Factorio, but cuter. If management sims are your jam, check it out.

Me in any commercial lot right now: <Insane Clown Posse voice> PARKING, How does it work‽

Today I changed light fixture in an adjoining closet and now I don’t have power in my bathroom. It says something that my biggest complaint is that I have a cold toilet seat.

Teaching kiddo about physical media with a scratched dvd of Elf. They are very confused.

Just saw my first @wmata.com rat, I feel like I just fulfilled a rite of passage or something.

THE STUPID VOTERS CAN ONLY FOCUS ON ONE THING AT A TIME, WE THEREFORE ARE ABONDONING ALL WINNING MESSAGING ON THE CURRENT CRISIS AND ALL PAST COMPLAINTS.

Become ungovernable

Found a bath bomb advent on clearance at Barnes and Noble. I would love to tell you that I got it for my wife or even for kiddo. No, I got it for me.

VA's senators just keep on getting worse and worse...

I love that Google is including slop like Citizen AI in it's news alerts. Thanks, Google! Where else would I get a summary of a forfeiture reform bill that was passed by the Utah house in 2016? This is very useful!

Played another session of Bohemians tonight. It’s a pretty fun deck builder with some weird design choices. You start the game with an art and a character board, and they are random but certain boards favor specific arts? Why? And why do the Atelier tokens not match the boards‽

This is support for only owning 2 pencils. Thanks, NYT, for reminding me why I don't read from your website anymore.

Lower prices waving in the background but affordability is a hoax am I right?

In BFD news, today in an @ij.org case, a state appellate court for the 1st time explicitly rejected the "probable cause" standard of Camara v Municipal Court (1967) for a state constitution. Pennsylvania cities now cannot look in renters' homes just because "this is what we do" (The Camara standard)

We need a national ban on police dogs. Cops should not be training animals to attack people. It's abusive toward people and the animals themselves—it's utterly depraved.

Frame this. Look at it every day until the primaries.

Just dropped my mortgage by 1.7 points and man, it feels good.

Mark Warner is having a moment on a Reddit AMA rn.

Tell that to people locked up for felony murder.

It’s time for my annual plug for this style of tree stand. If you are still manually screwing your tree upright, I’m sorry to say that you’re a sucker. Also: I grew up with this quilt and now it is exclusively used to transport the tree every year. It’s a good retirement for a well loved quilt.

“If they can do this to George, they can do this to anyone.” ICE brutally arrested and illegally detained George Retes, an American citizen and Army veteran. Learn more about how we are elevating his story here:

Almost every week I read an email. It starts, “OMFG, proof your AI shit, do not do this!!” And then I read a horror story about someone using nonsense cites in their appellate work and they were caught by a judge.

I was putting up Christmas lights and having a hard time with the 3M strips. So I took some of my wife’s reusable hot hands and held them to the metal before I put up the strip. Worked like a charm.

Like the CDC, the FDA has switched sides in the war on infectious disease, now siding with the diseases. Doesn’t help that the NYT is helping these assholes to launder their disinformation. Appointing RFK Jr & his cronies has been an unmitigated public health disaster that may take decades to fix

Texts from family and friends this morning: Happy Thanksgiving! Text from T-Mobile: HERE’S YOUR BILL.

For the first time in 12 years I will not be cooking something random all day long while enjoying a nice whiskey. And I don’t know how to feel about that. But Thanksgiving is the best holiday and I hope everyone can enjoy their day.

Is the new WH Christmas Ornament a dinner plate?

Hey Venmo, GFY.
