I think they should do a Grinch equivalent to the IT miniseries. Let’s hear about a century of Whos in Whoville that have had to deal with an unlikable and unkillable green guy who hates when mortals are loud and consumerist and that gets really moody during the holidays. Same level of violence ofc

We don't need a new F:Zero, but we do need Captain Falcon to be a DLC character released simultaneously for both Mario Kart World and Kirby Air Riders, and each game getting their own vehicle inspired by the Blue Falcon.

David Brooks is now the third alleged Jeffery Epstein associate at the New York Times.
This potentially includes A.G. Sulzberger, the current chairman of the NYT board.
The NYT published this piece by David Brooks about Epstein less than a month ago.
Why did their executive leadership allow this?

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

The good news is that we don't need to read the report. Voters hate the party and we hate the leadership. The country is literally coming apart at the seams and we blame you. Entirely. Hide all you want, we know who's at fault. And we know who the consultants are. You're fucked. I promise.
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

For those keeping track, this makes two recent, draconian pieces of anti-trans legislation — the NDAA's sports ban and now the blanket trans youth care ban — that would not have passed the House without Democratic support.

NYC: Senators Schumer + Gillibrand both voted "yes" on the federal trans athlete ban, in case you need yet another reason to hope they never have a moment's public peace & want to call and wish them (another) happy "get primaried into to the stone age"
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).
