'The Paper' kinda sorta found its footing toward the end of the season and has several cliffhangers going into Season 2. Fingers crossed it was a giant setup for Esmeralda to be fired and not return. #ThePaper

Critics Choice Award winner for Best Talk Show is Jimmy Kimmel. "A FIFA Peace Prize would have better but this is nice too. I wanna thank Donald Jennifer Trump, without whom we'd be going home empty handed tonight, thank you for the ridiculous things you do each and every day."

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

talked to the owner of a denim company that produces jeans in the US. he said that he's seen declining sales abroad in EU and Canada. stores tell him that customers don't want to buy MiUSA products bc Trump makes dumb, pointless threats like "taking over Canada or Greenland"

Eagle-eyed volunteers turn out for Portland’s 100th annual winter bird count, charting avian highs and lows for posterity

This is an illegal intervention in a country that poses no threat to the United States. Trump is trying to distract from the fact that he tanked our economy and kicked millions off their health care. Congressional Republicans need to rein Trump in before he gets American troops killed.
Trump says U.S. will 'run' Venezuela and sell seized oil in remarks on the strikes
President Trump says the United States conducted a strike in Venezuela and captured that country's president, Nicolás Maduro along with his wife, Cilia Flores.

I need to give a shout-out to the universe for what I thought was a happy accident on New Year's Eve. I realize now it was waaay more than that and the $9 was a playful wink. 💛😉💪
Likely just hours before they expired, dumb luck helped me find a couple lottery scratch off tickets that I knew were winners but had no idea where I'd put them. I raced to the store and now I'm $9 richer!
Fantastic way to end the year on a high note! 😊

The President's unilateral actions against Venezuela, including the capture of Maduro, constitute an illegal act of war done without Congressional authorization.

Once again, U.S. foreign policy is all about oil, regime change, and might makes right.
This military operation violated our own Constitution which requires Congressional approval for acts of war.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

This thread from suburban Chicago MoC @seancasten.bsky.social is worth a read:
5. I have no respect for Donald Trump. He diminishes everything he touches. But focusing on him right now is like being bitten by your neighbor’s unleashed, unfenced rabid dog and focusing on the dog. If we don’t hold his enablers to account we’re going to keep getting bit.
