Last month, Denny's was bought out by private equity in a $620 million deal.
Now the company is closing 150 locations.
It's the latest chain to be swallowed by private equity and see numerous workers lose their jobs.

I keep waiting for someone, ANYONE, to take the cognitive (dementia) test that he brags about acing all the time to show how dumb he is. Kaitlin Collins has the platform and TV access to do so. Fingers crossed.

Irony Alert! 🚨 One of the stupidest and most insecure men on Earth called Kaitlan Collins stupid. She’s smarter than the lawless criminal and his entire family combined.

As someone forced to start Baker in fantasy this week, that decision to end the half with that ridiculous Failed Mary INT was the dumbest fucking thing that's happened in Week 12. Just an absolutely horrendous decision. Is the Bucs coaching staff drunk?

Beginning to think Tony Romo might be a Jinx for the Chiefs. Which would be hilarious.

2. Ocean's Eleven
1. The Social Network

It was nearly 70 degrees in Minneapolis today. I had the day off. Wore shorts while running errands... and Christmas music played in stores. Weird day. But awesome.

If the Epstein Files get released and reveal Trump in them, I'll be really surprised. I mean, he's had 10 months now to redact, change, alter and falsify all the records the government has on him.

A 30-year mortgage currently has an interest rate of 6.3%. A reasonable guess it that a 50-year mortgage rate would be about 7.0%.
⇒ The monthly payment on a $500k mortgage:
- 30 years: $3,050 per month
- 50 years: Only $100 less at $2,950 (but 240 months longer).

Someone ask Mike Johnson tomorrow what he thinks of tonight's results? Can't wait for him to say, "No, I haven't seen it."
As the Speaker of the fucking House, that should be disqualifying.
