Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal.

Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.

You all had one big burning question about Alf Gappen. Our cast attempts to explain themselves at the new WBN studio.

As a reminder, the WBN team will be on a holiday break from December 22nd till January 4th. Happy holidays, and we'll see you in the new year!

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
Here he is taking the photo.

PS1: Yes, get a flu vaccine. Yes, if you’re sick avoid mixing with people and wear a mask (preferably an FFP2 one). Yes, if you are in a crowded indoor space, you might consider wearing a mask to reduce your chance of infection (again, FFP2 one). But this is good practice every winter!

The important question is whether this year’s flu season will peak soon (and so we have a ‘normal’ serious flu wave, shifted earlier) or whether it will keep going up and only peak towards end of the year in which case it will be a terrible flu season - i.e. are we in scenario A or scenario B. 6/10

🧵 Is it a super flu year? Who knows, but I think the current reporting is stupid.

A pissed off thread using data.

Firstly - here are today's headlines and some from the last 3 years... spot the difference. 1/10

SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.

In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

Their mistake was putting out that excerpt in Vanity Fair. The people who actually wanted to read the book thought they were getting juicy beltway gossip. The excerpt revealed it was just incomprehensible word salad

This is a since-deleted LinkedIn post from the marketing agency that created the since-deleted AI-generated McDonalds Christmas ad, and all I can think of is how the energy consumption must've been about on par with a small suburb or heavy industrial load to produce 30 seconds of slop everyone hated

Generating video is *immensely* energy intensive. Let's say they produced 3,000 10 second clips for this ad (suspect that'd be an underestimate). At 1KWh per clip it's 3 megawatt hours.

Maybe ~400-500 households usage for a day?

Meta is betting on generative AI for a new generation of aggressive advertising. It requires immense energy, much of which will likely come from fossil fuels.

A huge night for Democrats:

—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.

Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.

This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.
