Someone just asked me if I won the departmental Ugly Sweater Contest.

I’m wearing my beautiful holiday sweater today! Its feelings are just a little hurt right now.
Clearly a case of jealousy, wear it with pride!

I think that video is incorrectly titled. That's actually the family of Brian Sicknick who was killed in the attack.

Brittney Griner live updates: WNBA star swapped for Viktor Bout in prisoner exchange

The U.S. has swapped WNBA star Brittney Griner for convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, according to a senior U.S. official.
The basketball star was taken into custody at a Moscow area airport earlier this year in possession of vaping cartridges containing hashish oil, an illegal substance in Russia.

Griner pleaded guilty and was sentenced to nine years in prison

I periodically browse through the IdiotsInCars subreddit just to amuse myself with the stupid things people do. Most of it is incredibly underwhelming but the occasional complete moron pops up.

A few of my favorite things:

Borat targets Trump, Ye and antisemitism at Kennedy Center Honors
Sacha Baron Cohen skit receives mixed response at ceremony for lifetime achievements in the arts

David Smith in Washington
Mon 5 Dec 2022 09.47 GMT

The British actor Sacha Baron Cohen reprised his character Borat and stole the show at the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in the US on Sunday night, targeting the former president Donald Trump, the rapper Kanye West, now known as Ye, and antisemitism.

President Joe Biden smiled broadly and his wife, Jill, was in fits of laughter as Cohen told risque jokes in the comical accent of the Kazakh television journalist Borat Sagdiyev.

“I know the president of US and A is here,” Borat said to an audience including politicians and celebrities during a segment celebrating the Irish rock group U2. “Where are you, Mr Trump?”

As the audience howled, Borat went on: “You don’t look so good. Where has your glorious big belly gone? And your pretty orange skin has become pale.” He then asked if the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, and the nerve agent novichok were responsible.

Borat, the star of two hit satirical films, added: ‘But I see you have a new wife. Wawawoooah! She is very erotic. I must look away before I get a Bono.”

The comedian, who is Jewish, then turned his attention to antisemitism in the wake of Trump having dined at his Mar-a-Lago home with the Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and Ye, who subsequently praised Adolf Hitler and was banned from Twitter for posting an image of a swastika.

Borat said: “Before I proceed, I will say I am very upset about the antisemitism in US and A. It not fair. Kazakhstan is No 1 Jew-crushing nation. Stop stealing our hobby. Stop the steal! Stop the steal!” Some guests burst into laughter while others sat in uncomfortable silence.

He continued: “Your Kanye, he tried to move to Kazakhstan and even changed his name to Kazakhstanye West. But we said: No, he too antisemitic, even for us.”

I’ll watch the videos another time. It’s late and the mr is snoring beside me. Don’t be want to wake him .

I’ll miss Trevor a lot. Talk about hard shoes to fill. Colbert and Stewart were absolute fire, moving on at the top of their game, but I still needed their kind of comedy. I had grave doubts that he could do it but he is brilliant.

I suspect that's just one of a long list of things that don't mean what she thinks.

After you install Cockroach on Desktop, you can have very realistic-looking cockroaches crawling around on your desktop and any open windows you have running. Add another cockroach, or five. Double-click on a cockroach to kill it, they disappear. I like to leave just one crawling around, a little distraction and keeps your eyebones moving some. Try that with them fancy-schmancy Apple computers!

I won't miss Trevor ... He did a fantastic job, but I am excited for him that he's moving on to other endeavors and we will see more of him.

There has been a lot of blathering (mostly coming right-wing media) that late evening talk/comedy/variety shows have been declining in ratings. I think the truth in that is not that the content is in anyway is less, but there are just too many other things available. Nobody has enough hours in the day to watch everything.

So Trevor has left the building. We are also losing James Corden, who is taking his fam back to England (where he will have to relearn driving on the wrong side of the road before we get anymore Carpool Karaoke). :biggrin:
