The headline of this article, Chinese Tourist Posing for Photo Plunges 250 Feet Into Active Volcano tells it all. It's the subheading of Death by Selfie is Fast Increasing that's priceless.
BWAHAHA!!! I know the guy's dead, but it's still delicious #schadenfreude to see Berlusconi's property, site of many "conservative" sex parties, turned over to foreign journalists, whom he despised.
When Letitia James seizes #Trump Tower may it meet the same fate. 🤣
"I do think one of the problems with us not being able to raise money is there's a lot of Republican donors who are saying 'I'm not in this just to pay for Trump's legal bills.'" -Saul Anuzis, former chair of Michigan #GOP, current chair of wompage
We all know damn well how this is going to go. Trump will get his way, because when does he not?
Short of his death, nothing will stop him taking all the cash.
No doubt #Brexiters#schadenfreude is in full effect with the news that #Germany is now in full technical recession, and was the worst performing (in terms of economic growth) major economy.
That said, given that Germany is in the top twenty countries ranked by GDP per capita, while the UK struggles to stay in the top 30... in absolute terms the Germans are having a better time of it than we are...
Fuck his “pain.”
A majority (MAJORITY!) of patriotic, tax-paying American citizens have had 7 years of actual trauma caused by this criminal ex-president’s actions, and hundreds of thousands of people LITERALLY DIED because of his ignorant inability & stubbornness in failing to follow science during a pandemic — not to mention atrocities committed on our border.
"Either way, by calling their bluff, #Biden could actually wind up taking the politics out of the border, or laying the blame more squarely on Republicans going forward for tanking the very bill they had demanded. It’s almost as if Biden’s decades of experience in Congress now has relative novices there stuck in a border trap of their own making."

Some cops tried to sue one of the people they had been rioting against in southern Sweden demanding compensation for some claimed bodily injury, but then they were informed that they can't get such compensation as they were there in the regular performance of the tasks of the jobs that they had chosen to be employed in (pigs),
so then they withdrew their lawsuit and as a result the court ordered that the cops had to pay the court costs, because of course it wasn't the defendant's fault that the cops had decided to sue and it wasn't the general public's fault so it shouldn't be paid by taxes,
so now the cops are super-sour in major news-media making declarations that they intend to refuse paying the court costs even though the court ordered them to, that they can "just send the demand to the Crown Bailiff".
Mmmkaay, that can be ruled contempt of court with fine, or a fine for refusing seizure of assets to be sold at executive auction by the Crown Bailiff to pay their debt to the State that the cops are also enforcers for and if they refuse paying a fine... they might get sentenced to prison.
[Edit: Aaaggh. I was misled by my lying eyes. Also, I'm a dolt. How embarrassing!]
Twitter is requiring me to reauthenticate, which requires solving 5 easy but annoying addition problems in which you have to pick the dartboard (out of ten) that has numbers that add up to the target number. Except not all of them have solutions, which requires starting all over again. So far, I haven't found one in which all 5 challenges are answerable. #Schadenfreude (Why am I still on twitter? For reasons.)
If you're in the mood for some #schadenfreude, the 24 Dec episode of #ThisAmericanLife documents the infighting going on right now in the MI GOP leadership. Amazing to hear them come up with conspiracy theories about their own.
For those who like a little #schadenfreude with their #breakfast, it seems that its not only the UK where people (here business-people) are pessimistic about the (economic) future.... in #Germany#business sentiment is not looking at all optimistic right now....
ALL VEHICLES SOLD IN US. That's 2 MILLION CARS. Now think back to the Equation carmakers use to determine whether to recall. HOW unsafe must these have been for Musk to decide it would be cheaper than the lawsuits and fines? #elonmusk must be deliriously happy right now, because he's probably gonna lose all his shareholders for #Tesla too!
Also no more customers to interfere. At last, they're ALL HIS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eya1pjUTE7U#tsla#merrychristmaselon#schadenfreude

Ex-Minister aus Griechenland rät dem deutschen Staat zum Verkauf einiger Inseln. Von mir aus Sylt an Dänemark.
#Apple and #Disney among companies like NBC Universal, Comcast and Lionsgate are stopping ads on #X. The move follows #ElonMusk posting that an antisemitic social-media post was ‘the actual truth’.
Meanwhile Elon keeps promoting the ad-free Premium+ on his platform which will be obsolete soon with all advertisers fled.
"On Friday, dockworkers, who've been refusing to unload Tesla vehicles at four major Swedish ports for several weeks, will extend their blockade to all ports in the country... If Tesla doesn't cave after three days of strikes, Sweden's postal workers have also announced that they will join the strikes and stop delivering letters, spare parts, and pallets to #tesla"
