Deck The Halls starring Matthew Broderick is on. My uncle is listening to Steve Crowder on his phone. No headphones.

Luckily I brought mine.

My uncle is explaining the entire plot, as every beat occurs, to my grandfather.

Kitchen has poor ventilation so cooking uncle needs to leave the backdoor open to cool off.

For as long as I can remember, every Sunday dinner has featured a discussion about which extended-extended family member died recently. Today, like all Christmas Eve dinners, is no exception.

"Now that sports betting is legal, the NFL is making the referees make calls that favor the House. They just gotta make a phone call."

In 1869 it was decided to have 9 Supreme Court justices at SCOTUS because there were 9 Circuit Courts.

Now there are 13 Circuit Courts. So what exactly are we waiting for?

Well, give credit where it's due, in 2020 younger voters did turn out in higher numbers than 2016, and at double the percentage increase of older voters:

Voting rates were higher in 2020 than in 2016 across all age groups, with turnout by voters ages 18-34 increasing the most between elections:
For citizens ages 18-34, 57% voted in 2020, up from 49% in 2016. (+8%)
In the 35-64 age group, turnout was 69%, compared to 65% in 2016. (+4%)
In the 65 and older group, 74% voted in 2020, compared to 71% in 2016. (+3%)

@vsnmaryland This is the same judge who issued the injunction it looks like?

Alston issued an 18-page opinion Tuesday evening to lift the injunction. He said the allegations that the removal efforts amounted to grave desecration “were, at best, ill-informed and, at worst, inaccurate.”

Aight, good to know he's changed his mind.

Some of the figures also on the statue include a Black woman depicted as “Mammy” holding what is said to be the child of a white officer, and an enslaved man following his owner to war. ... He noted that the statue depicts, among other things, a “slave running after his ‘massa’ as he walks down the road. What is reconciling about that?” asked Alston, an African American who was appointed to the bench in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump.

If I were this judge I'd be kicking myself for issuing the injunction in the first place. What craven ghoul would defend this rock?

REMINDER FOR
LAID-OFF & UNEMPLOYED
AMERICANS

there is no shame to use all the social services you have paid with your taxes, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A WHITE, MID/HIGH INCOME EARNER.

welfare is racialized in this country to deprive all Americans of the social services WE PAY for.

it’s imperative y’all flood social services offices because if you don't, that's why the griftocracy keeps cutting local, state & federal budgets.

so here’s what you can do after losing your job:

    It’s wonderful to have holiday songs that recognize Christmas isn’t the “most wonderful time of the year” for many people.

    #paintdotnet You guys gotta stop making me call you out like this.

    When I rotate a layer, and I want to rotate it by 270 degrees, you cap me out at 180 degrees. But I know you are perfectly capable of understanding how to rotate an image by 270 degrees, because you let me rotate by -90 degrees. You know. That's how circles work? You don't think I'm gonna use the crappy little slider to rotate an image by -92.09 degrees do you? Let me just type in an angle, any angle, and convert it to whatever you need after I mouse out of the field.

    I have a meme scavenger hunt, a meme bounty if you will. Somewhere out there is this clip from George C. Scott's A Christmas Carol with the "It is Wednesday, my dudes" meme mixed in.

    I want it.

    I'm just gonna recommend George C. Scott's A Christmas Carol. It's one of the better adaptations.
