What’s rock bottom for Tesla? $75 per share? $20? Receivership?
I’m not a big stock investor, so I don’t pay very close attention to the rise and fall of individual stocks, but watching the collapse of Barron VonDickhead’s business empire is endlessly entertaining. Let’s check in on Elon Musk’s brilliant idea for running his car company — investing most of his time running another company […]
Song of the Day 12/23: Cyrus Chestnut, “Linus and Lucy”
Vince Guaraldi’s soundtrack album for “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is only No. 10 on the list of best-selling holiday albums but — with no disrespect to Elvis Presley, who holds the top spot — it might be the most universally beloved. Billboard named it the No. 1 “Top 200” holiday album ever, in part because […]

Jan. 6 Panel To Congress: Bar Trump From Running Again: The committee’s recommendations largely deal with how best to hold Trump and his allies accountable for the Jan. 6 attack, reflecting the report’s broader focus on the former president’s conduct. The report notes that the 14th Amendment allows barring people from office who “engaged in […]
Read of the Day – To Build A Fire
“This man did not know cold. Possibly, all the generations of his ancestry had been ignorant of cold, of real cold, of cold 107 degrees below freezing point. But the dog knew; all its ancestry knew, and it had inherited the knowledge.”
― Jack London, To Build A Fire
This is one of my all time favorite short stories. I think it is written in a more economical, modern style than Jack London’s other work. But what I really like is how the dog has a bit part but is really the hero.
The New York Democratic Party should just be closed down, the assets (if any) auctioned off
How did they miss this? Yesterday I joked — well, maybe half-joked? — that with all we’ve learned about Rep.-Elect George Santos, is he even gay? Being an “openly gay” Latino Republican has been a central part of his campaign pitch. He doesn’t fit the mold of a Trumper and that, he argues, “scares the […]
Song of the Day 12/22: The Moonglows, “Hey Santa Claus”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona It’s no art film, but “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” is one of the movies I look forward to most each holiday season. To me it’s not just funny but much smarter and more insightful than the other Lampoon movies — not that it avoids slapstick. It’s one of John Hughes’ […]

Good news!: The days will start getting a little longer from now on. Just thought you’d like to know…hang in there. Who Created ‘Libs Of TikTok’? Confession: I’d never heard of it until I read the article, but it’s an anti-LGBTQ Twitter account that has had the likes of Fox and Joe Rogan amplifying its […]
A ‘once in a generation’ winter storm will impact nearly every state (for the 11th time this year)
Sorry CNN and all TV weather people. Your credibility is currently at Trump administration levels. And making up menacing sounding shit like “bomb cyclone” and “thunder snow” doesn’t help. By Aya Elamroussi and Jennifer Gray, CNN A major winter storm and cold blast will impact nearly every state and bring what the National Weather […]
Michigan GOP would like single, college-educated, white women to stop destroying the country
They’ve done the research: The co-chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party privately told supporters last month that the party’s long-established donors would rather “lose this whole state” than help GOP candidates because they “hate” former President Donald Trump. Michigan GOP co-chair Meshawn Maddock and her husband, state Rep. Matt Maddock, R-Milford, two faithful Trump supporters, gave […]
Song of the Day 12/21: Jordan Mailata w/ Lady Alma, “Merry Christmas Baby”
When Philadelphia Eagles Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata recorded their holiday LP “A Philly Special Christmas,” producers hoped to raise $30,000 for charity. They miscalculated: Sales have been so robust that they’ve already contributed $250,000 to the Children’s Crisis Treatment Center, with more to come. Though all three offensive linemen sing on the […]

We’re looking at the last six years.
Rep Schiff says the DOJ is moving “way too slow.”
Elon Musk has said he will resign as Twitter’s chief executive officer when he finds someone “foolish enough to take the job”. (eg. the next time he looks in a mirror)
The billionaire had promised to abide by the result of a Twitter poll which saw 57.5% of users vote “yes” to him quitting the role. He says he will still run the software and servers teams after his replacement is found.
Announcing DL’s 2022 MVP’s (Most Valuable To The Progressive Cause In Delaware)!
Perhaps more than ever, the order of these choices shouldn’t matter much, if at all. Progressivism is growing stronger every year in Delaware, and everybody on this list has played a part. Along with those who I’ve missed, and who I encourage you to mention. Having said that, here goes: 10. Brandon Toole. Not so […]
Song of the Day 12/20: Frank Loesser and Lynn Garland, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”
Four years ago the Me Too movement boosted this old holiday chestnut to No. 1 on the Most Offensive Christmas Songs list. Personally I don’t see how anything could be more offensive than “Santa Baby,” but a lot of people, put off by the song’s creepy Bill Cosby vibe, pressured radio stations to drop it […]
