Not Christmas without this … (at least since 1975 when it was released).

Robert Reich Reacts: “It's a Wonderful Life”
YouTube video by Robert Reich Robert Reich Reacts: “It's a Wonderful Life”

A timely message from Bedford Falls that somehow got completely lost on the millions of people who elected to throw their lot in with a deeply selfish “Pottersville” view of the world, not caring whatsoever about the widespread misery and cruel suffering it entails.

Hopefully, something as wickedly clever as his Moms for Liberties parody website: www.momsforliberties.com.

Most insane Christmas special ever
YouTube video by Chris Norlund Most insane Christmas special ever

Hard to believe this utterly moronic and painfully awkward Xmas Eve performance featuring a flustered Trump and the contractually obligated “First Lady” attempting to communicate with innocent little kids as they track Santa’s progress on NORAD is actually real. 🤷‍♂️

I Debated Trump Supporters... COPS GOT CALLED!
YouTube video by Dean Withers I Debated Trump Supporters... COPS GOT CALLED!

This fearless young man is brilliant... an absolute delight to watch him engaging with brain-broken Trump supporters who suddenly flee, mentally shut down, or descend into blithering incoherence whenever their idiocy, ignorance, and flaming hypocrisy is exposed.

The Trump Class Battleship: Soviet Ship Building in Modern America
YouTube video by Animarchy History The Trump Class Battleship: Soviet Ship Building in Modern America

A closer look at the patently insane folly of Trump’s new class of “battleships” and his ludicrous “Golden Fleet” that “flies in the face of all modern thinking, all military logic, and against all the evidence seen in the ongoing development of modern navies.” 🙄

Tucker Carlson Says the U.S. Should Invade Canada
YouTube video by Worse Every Day Tucker Carlson Says the U.S. Should Invade Canada

The outrageous lies and disturbing insanity of Tucker Carlson. Unfortunately, in our present timeline, cynical fear mongering clowns like this cannot simply be dismissed as they have a certain constituency among the right-wing... on both sides of the border!

Anthropic's Advanced New AI Tries to Run Vending Machine, Goes Bankrupt After Ordering PlayStation 5 and Live Fish The Wall Street Journal staffed an office vending kiosk with Anthropic's most advanced AI model, with hilarious results.

“A groundbreaking economic experiment… where traditional market dynamics are turned upside down!”

Well, that’s one way of describing what turned out to be an unmitigated disaster. Even so, as expected, Anthropic insisted the laughable failure represented “enormous progress.”

St. Pete Beach Is A Ghost Town! Florida Tourism Has Died! The Worst Snowbird Season EVER!
YouTube video by SOUTHERN LIFE St. Pete Beach Is A Ghost Town! Florida Tourism Has Died! The Worst Snowbird Season EVER!

A disgruntled Uber driver tours the desolate streets of St. Pete Beach, a forlorn Florida resort town on the “Gulf of America” where many of the houses are now for sale or rent… No longer quite the bustling seaside tourist mecca that it once was, evidently.

The REAL REASON Americans pay more than Europeans for Drugs
YouTube video by Type Ashton The REAL REASON Americans pay more than Europeans for Drugs

Sorting fact from fiction when it comes to Trump’s childishly simplistic and erroneous claims about why pharmaceutical prices are so much higher in the US than in Europe and why his proposed executive order addressing the problem will be more of a grift than gift.

YouTube video by RocaNews Inside the Town Walmart Owns

No shortage of irony in this look at Bentonville, AK, the hometown of Walmart, that benefits from the largesse (and personal interests) of the Walton family, despite the company having contributed to the hollowing out of countless Main Streets across America. 🤨

The Insanity of Tesla CRASH DATA
YouTube video by Upper Echelon The Insanity of Tesla CRASH DATA

Another example of Elon Musk’s blatant lies and corporate fraud. In this instance, the safety claims made for Tesla “robotaxis” that are, evidently, 50X over-inflated compared to the actual crash/incident data the company is required to file. 🙄

This Is What Presidential Panic Looks Like Donald Trump delivered a fear-drenched rant live from the White House.

“This was not a holiday address from the president of a great democracy to its citizens. This was a desperate tin-pot leader yelling into a microphone while cornered in his palace redoubt.”

Tom Nichols nailed Trump’s unhinged performance last night.

The abrupt implosion of the far-right OneBC party affords an opportunity to take a closer look at the internecine conflict now taking place among the hateful pack of deranged lunatics that it had attracted prior to becoming a circular firing squad.

Hmmm. What if Trump’s absurdly large White House ballroom is more than just a vainglorious architectural folly, but in actuality an ultra-secure underground data centre built to house the agentic “brain” of the US government? 🤔
