Yes, we all know the “shitter’s full” line from “Christmas Vacation” but Clark asking Ellen if “she checked our shitters, honey?” is an amazing line in response to Eddie’s actions.

Weird way to bring back the missing Russian from The Sopranos but I’m here for it

A playlist of Christmas tunes…some funky ones, some reggae ones, some rock ones and a few classic ones.

Best synopsis of Bari Weiss you'll read
For this week's That's Marvelous newsletter I regrettably wrote a little bit about Bari Weiss (but also I happily wrote a little bit about dogs)! Read it here: www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/163-60-minut...

Happy birthday Eddie Vedder, one of the absolute best in the business

All the Bari Weiss stuff aside, it’s disgusting and heinous that a percentages of Americans are cool with this & that our government champions it. We should be better than this but currently we’re not. We’re run by monsters and stuff like this reporting is proof of that.

Watching one of the Harry Potter movies with one of my kids who is home sick and all I can think about (besides her well-being of course) is this Kumail Nanjiani routine about Hogwarts…

Drake Maye led 2 TD drives, erased an 11-point deficit and finished a 4th-quarter comeback to clinch a playoff berth tonight on the road.

He went 12/14 for 139 yards, 1 TD and 14 rushing yards in the 4th quarter.

So sad to hear that James Ransone, who played Ziggy in season 2 of ‘The Wire’ took his own life. He was a main reason why that season is underrated & deserves more love than it gets. His performance during that season was mesmerizing, tragic, funny & heartbreaking. Rest in peace.

Some super important Christmas content, kids.

If you could pick one character from ‘Christmas Vacation’ to have a drink with, who would it be? I ranked all 20 options.

I had forgotten that Galactic had dropped a Christmas song a few years ago, and of course, it's funky as hell

There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

Man these captchas are getting wild. Usually you need to find buses or streetlights but I was just asked to check every box with a sycophantic Garbage pail kid in it.
