Midsomer goes meta.
A #NotAllMen mansplainer is found killed in a manner not specified in the TV guide this was copied from. Suspicion falls on Malham Cross’ suspicious out-of-towners, confused that a vicar’s choir banquet might threaten dairy yield.

The funny thing is the people who always bring up Bernie Sanders in my mentions always miss the fact that if I were a fanboy for any politician, it would be Obama. But we shouldn’t be a fanboy/girl for any of these people. They are our employees and we should hold them to work standards.

Isn't the lead that over a dozen Fannie Mae watchdogs including the acting inspector general were FIRED for looking into Pulte's role in this mortgage record scheme?

The fact of the probe is important but firing the watchdogs really should be in the headline.

This is true in so many areas. People just want to know what the fucking rules are. We don’t have to like them; we want to feel like we understand the situation, that it’s not some impenetrable black box. That (here’s the hard part) a rational human being is in charge of things.
The insights I had were that you need to explain the rules and how you're enforcing them and accept the culture you have and make changes to the margins rather than try to make a place something it's not. Slate comments are small scale, but it could work for large scale moderation as well.

III. A REASONABLY-CONDENSED-ISH HISTORY

This will sound repetitive to the OG's, but there are only so many different ways I can narrate the same shenanigans for 10 straight years!

Know that entire books could be written just on Foodraiser logistics drama 🤪

Is that an iPhone in your Pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Apple has made a $230 iPhone sock 😅 the iPhone Pocket is actually a knitted bag, and Apple will start selling it on Friday www.theverge.com/news/818328/...

The iPhone Pocket isn’t really a pocket at all.

What’s the plan for commemorating the true history of J6 on its 5th anniversary?
The pardons are primarily symbolic: No one on the list has been charged with federal crimes, and Trump can't pardon those facing state charges in GA, AZ, NV and WI.

But it's another effort by Trump to recast the history of his bid to seize a second term in 2020. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

He’s kind of begging for a “how do you sleep at night” protest.
Sen. Kaine on his vote for funding deal

“I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct. 1, because I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed federal worker would say to me at church”

Go have some fun for a few minutes.
“It’s impossible to reboot Bond” says production team who decided Bond first got his licence to kill in the 21st Century, as Daniel Craig, then got incredibly old within two films and was being put out to pasture, but also had Sean Connery’s 1960s car.

It’s Bond. Just do whatever the fuck you like.

Make America Human Traffickers Again
The Trump administration State Department is taking money that's supposed to be used for helping vulnerable refugees around the world and using it to bribe corrupt governments into taking people that ICE can't deport to their home countries.
Latest admin deportation deal and misuse of funds. Mind boggling

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand.

Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration the liberation of Paris.

Can someone send me a link for the People Trump Is Not Happy With spreadsheet? I'm having a hard time keeping up.
Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"

Yes, these are the people that Senate Dems are counting on to face reality, live up to their word and schedule a vote on healthcare in good faith.
Q: I'm sure you know the Consumer Price Index showed grocery prices are up nearly 3% in September. Do you dispute that?

Top Trump econ advisor: Grocery prices are actually down significantly under Trump
