If you're feeling bad about spending Thanksgiving alone, don't. One Thanksgiving I went to see Lincoln alone, and 30 minutes in a woman stood up, yelled "I'M BORED!" and left. It was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Time for my usual morning routine, pouring myself a cup of coffee and checking the stock price of the company "Nvidia" to find out if the entire economy has crashed

Remember when elements of the left assured us that Trump was the anti war candidate lol

I had a similar experience in reverse when I watched the Golden Bachelor episode of Sunny. I didn't know he was a TV host. I'm sitting there like "No, I'm talking about former university of Florida quarterback Jesse Palmer."

Can't wait for the media to assure us that he doesn't really want to execute political opponents and that the real issue is big-city liberals being mean to UFC fans
UNHINGED: Trump calls for Democratic lawmakers to face trial for ‘seditious behavior’ that is ‘punishable by death.’
“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” he wrote on Truth Social.

Every aspect of American life right now feels like accommodating your rich insane boss. We never go home from it.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

the concept of a celebrity journalist is so bizarre in the sense that literally zero of my real life normal friends know who these people are

This dynamic will exist everywhere until the end of time (or capitalism), but what's offensive is how it shapes peoples' attitudes about local journalists. I've met people who sincerely believe that anyone who works in the news is rich and corrupt in this way. This should be working-class work.

The desire to be a celebrity journalist is so gross. It's a 1% thing; let the little people at the struggling daily papers cover the school boards and the city councils, our betters will do the important work of crossing every ethical line to write celebrity gossip (and most importantly get on TV)
