Worth remembering, as Trump tries to brutalize blue states over alleged TANF fraud: Mississippi's former welfare director ran TANF as a private slush fund, routing tens of millions to churches, wrestlers, and celebrity pet projects (including Brett Favre's)—while rejecting over 90% of poor families.
NEW: Text messages reveal the strange relationship that John Davis, the former Mississippi official who directed millions in welfare dollars to sports celebrities, shared with WWE wrestlers Ted DiBiase Jr. and Brett DiBiase.
"It is me who tried to buy your love," he wrote in one text read in court.

Watched this and I have complicated feelings about Ventura. He's a born showman and a self-promoter, maybe above all else. And that's fine, I think he's still more right than wrong here.
But I can't get over the fact that here he looks like my dad dressed as my older brother.

The thing about David Filoni is that you can tell from looking at him you shouldn't put him in charge of anything creative.

I need a documentary on this. It lasts slightly more than 4 minutes but is somehow the longest song ever recorded, surpassing In-A-Gadda-Da-Vita by 3 months.

This so-called “Electronic Mail“ is a scourge. As a society, we should have eliminated it just after this photo was taken, and then we only would have lost Willie from “ALF”.

In a Lyft on my way to my dad’s. Driver is playing an AI cover of an early 90s hit song I used to love in the style of an indisputably great genre of American music. It has ruined my day.

Definitely onboard for a cultural resurgence of the part of the 90s that was still basically the 80s. I can suck it up another year if it means the Kennedy Center will finally honor Candyman.

Was in a cab with my wife in Greenwich Village when a drunk Manhattan fashionista tried to climb in at a red light. The driver loudly pointed out that he already had a fare and asked her if she was "number one stupid".

This is hand in hand with the annual tradition of not knowing who my wife’s cousins are.
“I think (redacted) might be a lesbian?”
“Is she the one who didn’t wash her hair?”
“No, that’s (also redacted), she has a baby now.”

Ah yes the annual Christmas tradition of going on FB to look up the family that ostracized me and remind myself that everyone is their best online publicist. Happy holidays to all the black sheep who were brave enough to get the fuck out of dysfunction central. Hope your day is peaceful.
