It should also be noted that the other, equally deserving top contender was chosen as heroes of the year:

Brittney Griner released by Russia in 1-for-1 prisoner swap for arms dealer Viktor Bout, U.S. official says WWW.CBSNEWS.COM Griner was detained by Russia in February and sentenced to nine years in prison for having vape cartridges with cannabis oil. Good news for Griner and her family.

He also received top quote of the year from Yale's list with "I need ammunition, not a ride," in response to US offers to evacuate him from Kyiv during the Russian invasion.

(AP) — A tart retort by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to a U.S. offer of help and a call by former U.S. President Donald Trump for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution top a Yale Law School librarian's list of the most notable quotations of 2022.

Don't forget the Hot Gates!* *I mention it sarcastically as the right-wing loves to use that battle as an example of western civilization nearly falling to the evil brown people.

I'm sorry...wut: That's -32F and -54F.

Nvm they made an error with Cobb numbers.

Warnock win is looking quite likely.

Businesses can get fucked if they fuck with unions. I don't give a shit about the bottom line. If the company is making a profit, they can handle a union

Slave labour is also always a positive business decision

Yo isn't today the Georgia runoff?

Can't wait until it's changed again. My guess will be to Max+

Maybe it was a gender reveal. Did they check the bullets to see if they were pink or blue?

Seeing takes online (from news orgs, even) that Ukraine's recent strikes on Russian airfields have "escalated" the war, and that Russia's missile attack the next day was "in response" to the Ukrainian strikes. Fuck off.

Possible strike on the Russian Kursk airport, sounds like the fuel storage was hit.

Exclusive: Musk’s Neuralink faces federal probe, employee backlash over animal tests WWW.REUTERS.COM Elon Musk’s Neuralink, a medical device company, is under federal investigation for potential animal-welfare violations amid internal staff complaints that its animal testing is being rushed, causing... Jesus Christ. The article is maddening and horrific. Multiple times they've just accidentally installed devices on the wrong vertibrae because of sloppy protocol/no oversight, so had to kill the animals. Make Musk the next subject or shut it down.

Wtf. I assumed from that picture in the OP it was at least slim...this thing is a monster

Pros: Looks cool Cons: Everything else They'd better come up with a cool bird name for it, blackhawk is hard to beat. I suggest Spotted Dick. Or Barn Owl.

Gun culture has killed more than 1 person, and drag culture hasn't. So...

Appropriate since we're near Christmas, but many people don't know that one of the classic Christmas carols (Carol of the Bells) is actually a Ukrainian carol set to a pagan folk song called Shchedryk. It's beautiful in Ukrainian: Yesterday actually marked the 100th anniversary of its first performance in the United States. And if you're looking for a patriotic song, Oh, the Red Kalyna in the Meadow (kalyna is a flowering tree that is considered a national symbol) is a patriotic march created for the nascent Ukrainian nation in the early 20th century which was then banned by the Soviet Union, but survived to resurface after Ukrainian independence:

Seems like it struck between planes, but likely damaged at least two.

I refuse to watch purely based on the thumbnail. I assume it's a rage-bait video detailing that they pitched an "annoying" female lead or something?

It appears that the Ukrainians used a Tu-141 Strizh UAV to strike 600km into Russia (to hit the strategic bombers at the Engels airfield). It's a Soviet-made rocket drone from the 1970s that the USSR retired in 1989. However, Ukraine had a stockpile, and since 2014 has been working on fixing and using them. There are rumours that Ukraine is even building new ones. If Ukraine was able to fly a drone from the 70s 600km-deep into Russia during wartime and hit their target...it raises big questions about Russia's air defense.

Meanwhile, gun nuts in Canada:

I would argue that the British deserve more of the blame (and I do use the word blame intentionally, not credit) for English as the lingua franca of the world. And while its use is very beneficial for nations that exclusively use it...more harm than good has come because of the underlying reasons for it being lingua franca.
