Wow. Democrats just flipped the Whoville Mayor's office, which has been held by republicans since 2003. This is in a Trump plus +30 area too.

Extreme cold is expected this weekend, with potential snow in the forecast. No one should have to face it alone. Warming centers and shelters across Columbus are open to provide a safe place to stay warm. See the graphic for locations.

One week from today---join us for a marg and a few tacos!

Columbus and its suburbs are handing out more tax breaks than ever but a new report suggests the payoff isn’t worth it.

I can’t emphasize enough how much you need to watch this until the end

Question: Are there any good studies on the economic effects of the widespread addition of tipping screens to payment systems? Have all these new tipping prompts increased workers earnings or no?

This commercial for French's Mustard from 1987 is equal parts charming and also kinda unsettling, but what strikes me is the work that went into the absolutely delightful puppetry and practical effects for a *mustard commercial*!! Imagine that today??

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president ... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Fascinating article:

I usually do the cooking in the household and it was nice to outsource most of today's effort to loved ones. I did make a batch of Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits, though.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Come to our holiday party! We'll cover the first round of snacks thanks to donations from our members. That said, if the holiday season has you feeling generous, our most vulnerable neighbors are suffering due to the Trump GOP's SNAP cuts. A donation to the MOFB helps: mofc.org/get-involved...

This shutdown deal does nothing to help those in our state struggling with the cost of healthcare. Half a million Ohioans will face skyrocketing premiums because once again Washington politicians have made a mess.

When I see images like this I taste instant oatmeal because for weeks after this I would wake up before school and anxiously read the new recount developments in the Dispatch while eating breakfast. Days and days of that have inextricably linked the two in my brain.

Eons ago I did a stint driving SUVs in the Kerry for President DC motorcades. They never let me drive the candidate himself, but it's still odd that they let a college kid do this. Setti Warren was one of the staffers I drove, and he was kind and professional. RIP www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Hey Columbus, Ohio, please attend or donate to Jesse Vogel's campaign for City Council. Let's get a progressive in office. It's the Moment for the Movement.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
