Would it kill somebody to say “Nancy is not stupid.” It pains me to see the WH press corps just accept the abuse. Sends the wrong image to Americans and the world IMHO.
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

Only because they didn't listen or read.
Most Americans who voted for Trump did not understand he would do this.

I can't tell you how disorienting it is to see a more recent player on a 1982 Topps card. That was the first year I collected cards. I had some 1981s, but 82 was the first year I bought cards myself.
As another year winds down, what's your favorite or best card you bought this year? I commissioned this DW from @gummyarts.bsky.social when the Mets retired his #5.

But did anyone write about Kwinn the Eskimo twice this week?
I'm gonna guess I'm the only person on the planet who, in the space of two days this week, wrote about Serpentor twice.

the people who enabled this are now running Health & Human Services
3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."

We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

I like nearly all pies. I like many cakes.

But, I will not eat cheesecake. Stop telling me it's good and I should try it. It's gross.

More than 1 out of 8 people in the US would move to Baltimore if money were no object! Maybe I'm biased b/c I live in the Maryland-DC suburbs, but Baltimore housing is not expensive IMO. You can buy a 4 BR 2.5 BA remodeled rowhouse in upper Fells Point (expensive neighborhood) for under $450k.

In the good old days, we used a long roll of cloth that wound and unwound out of a dispenser on the wall. No paper refuse, no spraying germs everywhere. It was just a gross thing that everyone accepted.

Saw a clip from the Guinness people about the smallest dog in the world meeting the tallest dog in the world and to be honest both dogs kind of let me down

This is a clinically shit list. Incredibly short of Eddie Murphy movies. Trading Places is my favorite comedy. Unlisted. Also Bowfinger & Beverly Hills Cop. Ghostbusters, The Muppet Movie not listed.

I know this is supposed to create buzz, but are you supposed to hate it?
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

1 Empire Strikes Back
2 Andor
3 Star Wars
4 Return of the Jedi
5 Rogue One
6 The Mandalorian
Everything else was horrible. Terrible. Bad stories. Retread stories. Bad acting. Awful directing.

SW was my 1st movie. I saw ESB a week after it was released. Andor was amazing, but I was 6 when I saw ESB.

For those who subscribe, make sure you vote in the @fangraphs.com HOF balloting. For those who don't subscribe, you should.

I recommend voting for Buehrle, Pettitte, and King Felix b/c starting pitchers of their era deserve much more credit.
