In the grand scheme this is not the most important thing that happened today.
But "protesters eagerly sift through the equipment and papers left behind by the regime's routed elite security forces" historically happens at a much later stage of regime collapse than this.

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” said TJ Sabula, the UAW worker who heckled President Trump and who Trump flipped off and cursed at. “And today I think I did that.”

You’re right—swallowing the bird was a half-measure. The bird did eat the spider, as planned, but now you have a bird in you. It reminds you of swallowing the spider to catch the fly. You’re seeing the pattern.
Would you like me to suggest some animals which could eat the bird?

The United States of America is announcing that its objective is to kill you, yes, you.
The fact that the Trump administration looks at a video where the victims final words are “I’m not mad at you” and the shooter seems to say “fucking bitch” after killing her, and thinks, yeah, this looks good for him, is amazing.

"the full wrath of American justice" what a deeply disappointing day to be a human participant in what was supposed to be civilization
Attorney General Bondi says Venezuela's Maduro and his wife have been indicted and "will soon face the full wrath of American justice."
I didn't go to law school. Can someone please tell me what the Constitution or federal statutes say about "wrath" being a principle of the justice system?

It took the death of Brigitte Bardot to realize that Bob Dylan's I Shall Be Free violates the rule against perpetuities; Dylan has no obligation to grow a mustache on his face.
Another real person, Mr. Football Man, is not named but is identifiable as Bart Starr, also deceased. If we assume Mr. Clean to be the actor who portrayed him, House Peters Jr, he's also dead but if he has a great-granddaughter she's likely alive now but would not have been born yet when Bob met her

The descendants of immigrants who conveniently “forget” how their immigrant forbears “got over” are disgraceful.
And for the record, Mr. Martini, the Italian immigrant who Mr. Potter disgustingly disparaged as a “garlic eater,” and who received a chance for a decent home from the Bailey Business& Loan, is essentially the stand-in for the forbears of ppl like ICE enforcer Greg Bovino (Italian-American).

One of the earliest-ever modern portrayals of Santa Claus features him gifting Union soldiers with a jumping-jack doll of Jefferson Davis dangling from a noose - as drawn by political cartoonist Thomas Nast.

As time marches on, I find Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas is incomparably on another level from other holiday hits. "They said there'd be snow on Christmas... but instead it just kept on raining" might be one of the earliest climate change references in popular music, knowingly or not.

You had to be there in the late 2000s to know that 3 of the best holiday bangers were from side projects of Eddie Argos of indie-sleaze-before-it-was-so-named UK band Art Brut. Glam Chops - Countdown To Christmas, B-side Baby Jesus Was The First Glam Rocker, and The Black Arts - Christmas Number One

Truly wild that someone went to Steven Van Zandt and said “can you write Darlene Love a version of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) but make it so we don’t have to give Phil Spector any money” so he wrote the same song but like 90% as good [positive] and they put it in Home Alone 2.

The mosh pit for this Superheaven show at Williams Center just broke through the floor. I can't get close enough or won't get close to see how bad the damage is but they stopped mid-song and it's been a solid five minutes, so I might just leave rather than get crushed falling into the basement.

Seeing an opener of a 6pm show call themselves the loudest band from Pennsylvania, and I'm realizing I may have gone to a butt rock show. After "a death metal love song" they are outroing with the chorus to Christina Aguilera - Beautiful, and the phone flashlights are out.
