Lil Jon just performed on the Toys R Us Float at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and if you said “wait what year is it” it could be referring to four different parts of that sentence

“Grease is the word.” - Grease theologian

“It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning.” - Grease linguist

“Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion.” - Grease physicist

“Grease is the way we are feeling.” - Grease psychologist

My New Pet Project To Distract Me From The Really Stupid Timeline We Find Ourselves Living In:

I'm reading the original novels that were the source material for a few of my favorite movies.

And how are all of YOU coping these days....? 🤯

Guys Read Vol 1: Funny Business by Jon Scieszka is pretty solid humor. Elephant Run is a fun adventure. Dork Diaries is similar in tone and the main character is a girl. Both my son and daughter liked those.

I will also entertain the notion of Eggodillas.

Uncrustables but they’re quesadillas.

This is where I post from if you even care.

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

An absolute powerhouse of a @propublica.org team has done what U.S. officials refuse to do: identify the men and women swept up in that midnight raid in Chicago. Life in the building was not perfect, but reporters found little evidence to back up government claims: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

“Biblical Justice, Equal Justice, for All”: How North Carolina’s Chief Justice Transformed His State and America Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power. Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well be...

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

the video being projected behind all the performers on stage

lmao david byrne showed the video of the ice agents tripping over themselves while trying to run after a biker on wacker drive during the “life during wartime” segment of his chicago show tonight

Some solid hed writing by the desk.

Halo Gets Sucked Into ICE's Recruitment Meme War The Trump administration is using Master Chief a lot today

Having written three Halo novels, I'm appalled at seeing the game get dragged into ICE's violent and racist crimes. (I mean, I'm far more appalled at the actual crimes, but this is the tainted cherry on that sundae of shit.)

My two takeaways on this:

1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.

2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

How the craft flour movement could be a boon to farmers and Indian Country As U.S. wheat farmers face painful losses in the global market due to President Trump's policies, one domestic flour mill on a reservation in Oregon is expanding its production twelvefold.

Maybe next time I can get an ice sculpture Giant’s Causeway or something.

I used a small igloo cooler and poked holes in the bottom of a silicone ice tray but don’t have it quite level in my chest freezer, some air remained because I had to move it and it sloshed a bit and I had to add more water. Look forward to trying again.

Weird result to a first test of making clear ice cubes more than one at a time via @alcademics method. This weird glacial up thrust or whatever resulted in a tumbler length large (mostly) clear cube.

Yesterday, the United States had its biggest protest in history.

But when I look at the New York Times website, I discover that it never happened.

the logical endpoint of "debate me bro" culture right here

New N.Y.P.D. Unit to Focus on Domestic Violence as Cases Surge The new unit will be the largest of its kind in the United States and its members will receive specialized training, the police commissioner said.

The New York Police Department is creating a unit of 450 investigators to respond to domestic violence, a move that comes as the city is grappling with a surge in such cases, Commissioner Jessica Tisch said on Thursday.

Not Even Congress Knows How Much Money DOGE Cut

“Congress and the public simply can’t follow what the Trump administration has done with federal spending. And now the fiscal year is over, with untold sums unaccounted for.”

The Administration has no idea what happened to American tax dollars. Sheer incompetence.

YouTube video by E.D.S. season of the witch (to die for's ending)

And for a fantastic good use of the OG, there’s the end credits of Gus Van Sant’s To Die For (and if you haven’t seen To Die For you absolutely should; also fantastic use of David Cronenberg in that one). youtu.be/0PCIqSHcRoY?...

YouTube video by LanaDelReyVEVO Season Of The Witch (From The Motion Picture "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark" / Audio)

This time Donovan’s “Season of the Witch” pops up frequently and deservedly so. It rules! But until recently I had no idea Lana Del Rey did it for the Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark movie (I missed the generational cutoff by a bit). It absolutely slaps as well! youtu.be/zA4OjrpVsiY?... 1/2
