This Cracker Barrel Logo fiasco is wild y’all. Like, sure, the new logo is bland, but I don’t understand how it is woke. It still has the word “cracker” in it guys.

Kendrick is my hating role model. I aspire to hate someone so hard an entire stadium sings along with how much I hate them. Someday, lord willing.

FAA chief Michael Whitaker tries to fine Musk over SpaceX violations.

Musk attacks Whitaker on Twitter and demands his resignation and ‘radical reform’ at the FAA. Whitaker resigns on January 20th.

The deadliest US plane crash since 2001 occurs a week later.

We are not safe with Musk in charge.
FAA Chief Quit on Jan. 20 After Elon Musk Told Him to Resign
Michael Whitaker had only been in the role for a year but the SpaceX chief accused him of “harassment.”

If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.

They should all go on Fox and in front of every camera they can find and say, over and over, all day long, "TRUMP DID THIS BY FIRING COMPETENT PEOPLE AND HE'S MAKING US ALL LESS SAFE EVERY DAY WITH HIS ILLEGAL BULLSHIT AND UNQUALIFIED CABINET".

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy’s letter to Senators setting the truth about her cousin RFK jr Straight

He is truly unqualified in every way possible.

Democrats could win a lot of hearts and minds if they stopped trying to raise money for themselves and started raising money for people and orgs affected by the spending freezes.

There's a decent chance that driving a gas car for the last decade had less of a negative impact on the planet than supporting Elon Musk's rise to power by buying a Tesla

Wait so, hold on, a 3.5-hour epic pean to the value of artistic integrity used labor-stealing generative AI both to alter the actor's performances and do some pretty important production design work? featurefirst.net/the-brutalis...

In an effort to focus on positive things in the world, High Potential on ABC/Paramount + is a lovely reminder of how satisfying a network TV procedural can be. The show absolutely rips.

Any time a home burns, it's awful.

My childhood home in Santa Barbara burned in 1977 when I was eight. The fire had been started by a kid with a kite, and the winds - 90 MPH gusts, like we've seen in LA this week - did the rest.

That 8 year old in me still feels it, the loss and the fear.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

I just had to log into my TV manufacturer’s account for an app update, but first they made me change my password for security and then log back in again. I think I put in a PASSWORD on my TELEVISION upwards of FIVE TIMES, just to watch TV. The future is stupid. It sucks and I hate it.

The darkest part of the UNH CEO thing is that the stock went up after he was shot. Man literally died generating shareholder value.
