At a wildlife rehab facility I met two crows that said, "caw" in a human accent. They said it like a human reading the word "caw" aloud. The tech shook her head and said, "they're making fun of us. People say 'caw' to them all day, so they've started impersonating us." I <3 crows

TIL there is an actual Swarovski bracelet called "Tarot Magic Hands" and it looks like this

grocery store chains: we set record profits this year

retail chains: we've never made so much money

energy companies: we just posted our best quarter on record

news article: who is to blame for inflation? you peasants wanting wages, probably

RT twitter.com/@briantylercohen: We finally got it. Only took 100 years but our very first, real-life “Republicans in disarray” tweet from the mainstream media. https://twitter.com/briantylercohen/status/1610409157030735873

The thing about the Speaker fight is that we're witnessing a fight between a rogue group of #Republicans who don't want to bother with the pretense of governing at all against the GOP majority that wants to maintain that pretense but also has no real interest in governance.

BREAKING: 😂

ICYMI: Independent journalist David Zweig went from normie lib to being featured in a Koch-backed libertarian think tank's promotional video for the Great Barrington Declaration to promoting vaccine skepticism in the span of 2 years.

Now, he's the journalist reporting Elon Musk's COVID Twitter Files.

My story examines his story, his work, and his claims in his Twitter files thread. https://importantcontext.substack.com/p/musk-great-barrington-declaration-reporter

For your periodic reminder that people who want to destroy government should under no circumstances be trusted to run it, tune in to CSPAN.

After three separate votes, Republicans fail to elect their own Speaker -- first time in 100 years that's happened.

I want all the media pundits who blamed Dems for "not effectively negotiating with Republicans" to explain how you negotiate with a pro-insurrectionist party who can't even agree on their own Speaker?

Republicans claim Government doesn't work, then they get elected and prove it. Vote GOP Out Permanently.

Selling merch based on your failed attempted rightwing coup is peak American capitalism.

Your periodic reminder:

If you don't get a raise every year that's at least as much as the inflation rate, that's a salary cut.

I always look forward to this annual publication. Their explanations never fail to make me smile--and often clap & cheer. If you need random entertainment today, go read. And/or pull up the archives from past years. 😂

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are Pump-and-Dump schemes, while others are Pyramid schemes. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Others are just standard-issue fraud.

Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

@RonBrownstein@twitter.com For decades, the trajectory of the GOP has been clear, and for decades, I've been reading center-left pundits speculating wistfully about a "turning point" that will restore the center-right GOP of their imaginations.

Just because you've had a nap today doesn't mean you can't have another nap today. There is no actual limit.

Wishing you all a great #NewYearsEve with a lovely #Victorian New Year card showing two children being terrified by a giant insect. #gothic #weird #history #folklore #HappyNewYear

I love closing out the year with this. 😊

On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.

How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️

Happy New Year, ya'll!
