Whenever there's economic news like this, why is it always that we, the public paying attention, ABSOLUTELY expected this and the experts didn't?!
Fed Chair Jerome Powell warned the delayed jobs numbers “may be distorted” and should be viewed with a “somewhat skeptical eye.”

Remember when we used to be able to complain about mundane things like Microsoft changing their icons to something uglier without pausing, gazing off at a middle distance, and thinking, "Wow, I remember when life was so good we were complaining about icons."

A rare beer tweet from me these days:
Every time I try a new IPA billed as being West Coast style, more often than not it's not even close.
I'm either being gaslit or we've forgotten - as an entire industry - what they tasted like.

I usually don't read the screenshots of the president's Truth Social screeds but the one about Rob Reiner's death is a new low for lack of dignity. What a disgusting, self-obsessed man.

In the over 10 years I've been decorating an outdoor Christmas tree with lights... I've never run into the problem I just discovered today squirrels appear to have eaten through an entire strand of wire. Fun fun.

Getting sick of everything I'm trying to purchase for my daughter having to be a tie-in to some TV or other character. Can't buy her a goddamn coloring book unless it's Frozen or Minecraft or Bluey or or Paw Patrol or Pokemon... It's everything. Clothing, Water bottles. Legos, even Toothpaste.

One of the stupidest Christmas mysteries is why the soundtrack album to Claymation Christmas doesn't have a 1:1 for songs actually aired on the special itself.

Oh yay!! Just ordered some of these. In a world where everything sucks, looking at the art in this calendar keeps some joy in circulation.

Seriously Star Trek. You can just be wrong about your World War III dates. It's cool. We don't need to have that part of the timeline. We can just skip straight to fully automated luxury gay space communism.

🧵 Books I read this year that might make particularly good gifts for specific people:
For your long-haired uncle who was really into metal bands, who doesn't read often but might pick up a good book for a long flight: @traviskennedy.bsky.social "The Whyte Python World Tour" - quite a fun read.

Someone help me come up with a name for a type of party where everyone just hangs around and talks. I feel like we've all forgotten how to hang out without there being a central "activity." Like, just come over and drink and bitch about the government with me, ok?

Editor’s note: The image of a war-mongering convicted felon slapping his name on the U.S. Institute of Peace is so absurd it collapses under its own irony—satire can’t outdo reality that much.
In a post on X tonight, the State Department says it “renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history.”
“Welcome to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.”
