Oh, so now it's fine to have a war on Christmas
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

The artist known as Kozmo created her signature happy cheeseburger more than 10 years ago, when she was invited to participate in an art show about Mother Nature.
Now, you can find cheery cheeseburgers bursting from the center of pink-petaled flowers all around Chicago.

I truly find this so upsetting. Animal videos were a small delight out of the hellscape that is this unpredictable life, and now I’ll be halfway through one and realized it’s AI and it’s just so crushing.
all I need to know about AI is it ruined animal videos for the entire internet

Maybe the tent system is the problem? Let’s try something more structurally sound than a tent, it might work out
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

I saw some people who I don’t know talking about something I don’t know about here on this very website.
Rather than demand that they stop their discussion and explain what’s going on to me, I kept scrolling and will soon forget about it.
This option is available to you as well!

thing about autism is if you work really hard for many years, you can learn through trial-and-error how to navigate social situations and interpersonal connections SO effectively that people don't really believe you're autistic anymore and resent you for not being perfect at nonverbal communication
