Home Alone came out almost exactly 2 months after Goodfellas so I prefer to think Tommy never really got whacked. The hit was a front. He was just renamed Harry and sent into witness protection to work as a plumber in Winnetka IL. But he just couldn't fight that itch

It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

That we have Ciara, Busta Rhymes, and Lil Jon at the *Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade* just proves that hip hop is fully ingrained in American culture.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Having Democrats actually using plays from the Republican playbook is the best way for laws to suddenly change so those plays aren't even possible in the first place. A net good.

If a college sophomore says ‘free Palestine’ the media will label them an antisemite and destroy their life but the Vice President retweeting WhitePower88 needs further clarification.

sorry but this is still the best song ever. I still waffle between whose verse is better every six months or so.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.
SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.
Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.
People need & deserve assistance
Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich
Be mad about that

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.
