Just got #Whammed at the company Christmas party. Multiple times. Mariah Carey followed soon after. Where is that Baileys to put in my hot chocolate?
#Whammageddon I’m out. :(

Christmas-market karaoke hit me with ‘Last Christmas’ today — but not the Wham! version.
Off-key, and it sounded like the singer REALLY lost someone - so it was pretty genuine.
My question: Does this mean I’m #Whammed… or just Wham-adjacent? #Whammaggedon

I feel like this holiday season, it's important to remind people of the true meaning of christmas: ghosts terrorizing rich people in the middle of the night until they agree to pay their employees more.

Moin. Good morning.
All right, everyone. Gird your loins because #Whamageddon starts today. If you heard it last week, it doesn't count. But do be more careful! May the odds always be in your favor.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

This news makes me cautiously optimistic that accountability in the U.S. might eventually catch up to… well, you know who. wapo.st/3Xi9bis
Bolsonaro out of appeals, will start 27-year sentence for coup attempt
The former Brazilian president will begin his sentence in a specially prepared cell at federal police headquarters in Brasília.

Nothing like a snowy walk to the bus stop to remind you that life is beautiful—
—right up until the exact moment your bus speeds past while you are still 100 metres away.
Next bus in 10 minutes. Character development arc continues.

I can never hear or see something about the extreme right Proud Boys without remembering that "proud boy" is a term for a gelding that doesn't realize it's been neutered and keeps acting like a stallion. So do with that info what you will. *sips coffee*

Hating Donald Trump isn't hating America, it is loving everything America strives to be.

I know for a fact that Antifa is not an organization because I don't get emails from them asking for money.

In Cuba, abortion + contraceptives are free + legal, + millions of Cubans have participated in the rewriting of the Family Code legislation

In the US, a 9-person unelected, term limitless body can criminalize abortions with a single vote

Who's the undemocratic dictatorship?

Figured this would be appropriate:
