In Iceland, books are exchanged as Christmas Eve presents. Then you spend the rest of the night in bed reading them and eating chocolate. Sounds perfect to me.

Leo has agreed in principle to throw out the first pitch at a new White Sox stadium. “Schedule permitting.”
Well, that's an image. chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...
White Sox co-owner Justin Ishbia meets Pope Leo XIV — and invites him to throw first pitch at new stadium
The team's possible future chairman told the Sun-Times he asked their most famous fan "to bless the stadium" that Ishbia hopes to help bring to the South Side.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

There are ~26,000 commercial and ~11,000 private flights taking off in the US daily.
Instead of Trump grounding 10% of all air traffic in the US, he could simply ban private flights. But he won’t because he’d rather fuck up your holiday travel than upset his billionaire buddies.
