Well, you wouldn't want to give them the pillows now.

Everyone who gets to the level of wealthy Rupert Murdoch is all have the same flavor of brain-worms: a complete and utter obsession towards making Big Number into Bigger Number. Doing something illegal, getting sued for it and getting a result that makes Number Less Big by an amount significant enough for them to actually feel is probably quite a severe punishment in their minds.

One of the most important things to understand about what drives the ultra wealthy is that it's envy, not greed.
Everyone is, to some extent, greedy. I like nice things, you like nice things, we all like nice things. But think about everything you want in life; money is no object, and we'll assume you don't feel guilt about spending a lot on frivolities. An extravagant home, a large garage with fancy cars, a personal chef and other serving staff, a fancy home theater, top notch personal healthcare, all the video games, books, and movies you would like, globe trotting vacations every year, so on.
It still is well under a billion, most likely, and if not certainly well under the wealth of the multi billionaires.

It's not about greed for them. It's nothing so human and sane as wanting to wallow in hedonism. It's about insane pride and envy. Money isn't a means to an ends for people; there is no material desire any person could have that 10 billion could not satisfy but which 15 billion can. It's about keeping score. You want to have 300 billion dollars because otherwise how will you know your better than the people who have 200 billion dollars?

I saw an article about the trans swimmer; I think it was in the Washington Post. It was definitely somewhere "mainstream". However, the reporting was (as one would probably expect) just "a trans swimmer won some meets/qualified for the Olympics/whatever" and not "MEN ARE TAKING OVER WOMENS SPORTS BECAUSE OF THE TRANSES" so in their opinion, the real issue wasn't covered, but it's out there. I'm sure ESPN covered it, too.

What was Hunter S Thompson's lifetime wealth, I wonder? Cos it seems like he did basically this but with an indestructible heart and I really doubt his lifetime earnings were anywhere near a billion.

Hunter famously burned through money and writes about it a lot in his two volumes of letters collections. Friend of mine worked at Woody Creek Tavern and said Hunter never paid his bar tab but they liked him coming in because it drummed up business.

Yeah he was bad with money but he'd definitely earned enough to live comfortably without working if he'd been a normal person.

You only get ultrarich if you have something wrong with you. Mike Bloomberg got a 10 million payout from his job and Elon Musk got 20 million from selling his terrible website during the dot com boom. If I was either one of them I would've just quit there and lived an extremely comfortable life but we know how it went with them.

Former anchor shares inside story on Fox News' 'War on Christmas'


The 'War on Christmas' actually began centuries ago -- but Fox News figured out how to capitalize on it by beating the drum annually. On the latest "Reality Check with John Avlon" CNN's Alisyn Camerota tells the inside story of marching orders from bosses during the more than a decade she spent at the cable network.

They'll inevitably recast him but I really think they need to write that into the show somehow. Just have his pizzeria go under from negative press and Bob spends the rest of the episode wondering about what his life is like without an arch-nemesis before they introduce Jonny "O'Brian's" Irish pub

Pillow technology is serious business.

Now we're advancing what we've learned there by applying this breakthrough science to towels.

Until quite recently, no one in human history was ever able to sleep with a pillow or dry themselves properly. I know that for 4 decades, I have rested my head on cinder blocks and and attempted to dry myself with everything from aluminum foil to plastic wrap to dry leaves. It's been a nightmare. So tired of sleeping in damp sheets as a puddle forms in my bed while I rest my head against a dry log I found in my back yard that had some feathers stuck to it

What a time to be alive.

Make this Lindell person president of the world immediately and respect his opinions at all times. Thanks to this man I am properly dry with a cushioned head. Now we must connect these pillows and towels to the internet.

SmartTowels and SmartPillows.

I really hope we don't wind up finding out that Tom Kenny was some sort of uber facist or something. That would be truly devastating as he is/was my favorite. Fairly sure we know what Bob and David's politics are and I can venture a fairly safe guess that Paul F Thompkins is safe

I’m pretty sure if SpongeBob SquarePants was a huge rear end in a top hat chud, it would be all but common knowledge by now, so I think Kenny’s safe.

This bit of news missed me until a couple nights ago and I haven't had time to think about it. Good timing, as Bob's is clearly lacking something important this season. Not sure which writers have moved on but the heart of that show is missing and it wasn't Jimmy Pesto.

Sorry not trying to derail. This is a Bob's Burgers/Rick & Morty house, and BB is there for the times when we just need pablum on TV. Glad it stayed good as long as it did.

Apparently every main creative mind behind Bob's Burgers has other shows and the movie as priorities, the show is backburner at this point. I still keep early episodes on my DVR to rewatch, the newest stuff I get sleepy watching. I can watch the pilot daily, it's still so funny! "How many toothpicks?" "I hate this game, it just involves me cleaning up toothpicks" "100?" "100?! There's 3!"

https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/20/politics/donald-trump-booster-shot-boos/index.html

Trump met with boos after revealing he received Covid-19 booster

They're booing their Capitalist Jesus Messiah for choosing to take a loving vaccine.

And if there were some way to deny it to them, they'd think it was a plot to kill older people that vote Republican.

Seriously, Biden should try it. Issue an executive order that you can only get the jab or the booster if you live in a blue state or registered Democrat. Watch these people storm Walgreens like the capitol building demanding the miracle drug that the liberal government is hiding from them. Biden should just be all: whatever you do, please vote for far right candidates, buy as many guns as humanly possible, never get vaccinated and make sure to never approve my SCOTUS nominees or bills I support. The majority of left leaning voters will get it and the remaining morons will go full "gently caress that" and do the opposite.

I'm only half way joking.

If Obama had come out and begged us, "whatever you do, don't inject fentanyl, lie down on train tracks or aim loaded guns at your head", these morons would say "don't tell US what to do, Socialist Muslim Kenyan Guy" and loving youtube would explode with the Fentanyl Train Track Russian Roulette Challenge.
