Family Christmas in Illinois is Saturday so today I am snug as a bug in Michigan. Went for a walk. Chatted with my sister. Classic FM. Lasagne. Mincemeat pie. And Muppet Christmas Carol. Light the lamp, not the rat! Happy Christmas y’all.

It's a huge win for Juventus in Turin.

Second-half goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie inflict a 2-0 win against Pep Guardiola's side.

Manchester City are now six games without a win against Juve, their longest winless run against an opponent in European competition.

Arsonist: “Wow, this fire looks really bad!”
Mitch McConnell: “We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before world war two,” he says. “Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”

He did not win by a massive margin, does not have a historic mandate, and therefore is not automatically owed a cabinet of reactionary extremists and tinfoil-gilded cranks to inflict on the American people.
