One thing that watching Hallmark Christmas movies make me wonder is, in Silent Night, is it about three people, or one person?
I mean is it:
"Round young virgin,
mother, and child"
or
"Round young virgin,
mother and child"
Because, obviously the pause after virgin must indicate a comma, right?
Small investors, who can't afford it, will lose, large investors, who could afford it, will get bailed out, as usual.

Was there no window at hand, for him to fall out of?
Seriously, $9 for a burger?
And people claim McDs couldn't possibly pay it's employees a decent wage?
"Varney the Vampire"?
That excerpt looks like a lot of fun, guess I do have to put in on my to read list now.
Legit went "25 x 16, that's 100 x 16 : 4, so it's 400" in my head.
Sometimes I make it needless complicated. :D
Giving credit were credit's due.
And Trump would greet such an attack because he doesn't care nothing for the public and would invite any chance he gets to expand ICE's powers.
Netanjahu is a fucking terrorist that learned from his continued genocide in Gaza that he can get away everything he wants to, he absolutely is the kind of evil that would do this (and Trump no less).
Kindly go fuck yourself with that kind of rhetoric, we are talking the targeted killing of children here.
"it might be that Revolutionary Guards were sheltering in a civilian building"
Do you think that excuses anything?
The updated total of children killed is 57.
Anyone thinking that US-Israel massacres of Iranian people will "liberate" anything but markets & resources must contend with the reality that they are cheerleaders for the world's villains. No war with Iran.
That headline made it sound a lot more interesting than the actual theft turned out to be.
Disappointed.
It’s time for our legislators to take a lesson in courage from eighth graders like Lydia and stand up to the gun lobby.
Thinking that people need to apologize for telling the truth is peak tech bro. :D
I'm fine with that, they likely do deserve getting punched in the face.
I swear they started with "4 million" immigrants and since then they dish out an even more stupid number every month...

I was so-so on the book, tbh, but could see the comedy work better on screen:
Real. 😄
Finally got Nat Cassidy's When the Wolf Comes Home, after learning of it on bluesky, and like that he opens it with a Content Note.
But also how he uses the last sentence of the CN to create an atmosphere of dread before we even go into the story.
*Unpopular opinion: I'm a great supporter of CNs.
I hear we now got drafts in this place, did anybody check if all the windows are closed properly?
Mike Johnson will bend the House to defend a president who tried to overturn an election, but won’t allow Jesse Jackson to lie in honor at the Capitol. That tells you everything about whose history Republicans respect and whose they’re trying to erase.
If only there be an institution to rein in the President when he abuses his power... oh, wait.
Fucker McConnell is part of exactly that institution.
Are they called A teen because they love it when a plan comes together?
On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

I feel her, if that food was any good looking that is.
Who wants to hear lengthy explanations, I'm here to eat.
