  2. Liz Cheney calls out Fox News in interview with Bret Baier - CNN Video WWW.CNN.COM Republican Rep. Liz Cheney calls out Fox News during a combative interview with Bret Baier in which she argued that "Fox News has a particular obligation to make sure people know the election wasn't stolen." Liz Cheney said Fox News 'especially' has an 'obligation to make sure people know the election wasn't stolen' WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COM During a tense exchange Thursday, Fox News host Bret Baier responded by saying Fox News has reported "numerous times" that the election wasn't stolen. There's something ironic about the daughter of the Republican Vice President who had Fox News on all the time, being on Fox News and having this conversation.
  3. Lady Dimitrescu? Because the STOMP STOMP STOMP of Mr. X was frightening, but so are her high heels.
  4. This game is quite meaty. Without spoiling anything and being vague, I recently got one flask and then explored familiar area. Now for spoilers (I'm maybe 7 hours into the game but pretty sure I'm going slowly):
  5. I'm curious if it's niche or if it's actually way more prevalent than, like, 5 years ago, just with spouses as people continue growing up. I feel like the couch co-op games available have increased since last gen after transitioning to online for much of the PS360 gen. Like, Overcooked was only couch co-op and caught fire just with that, and the only reason I bought it was for couch co-op. Same with Sackboy, which ended up being a great purchase. I know couch co-op is still a big thing with plenty of Nintendo games. Maybe as my generation continues to have kids and get married, couch co-op will actually be more of a thing with more options?

  7. I saw "MAKING THE ROUNDS: “Nobody wants to work” is just “Nobody wants to date a nice guy” for business" and it's ringing way too true.
  8. Rachel was either in the Bible or on Friends.
  9. Cripes, I'm late responding: Did you not find this to be that scary, or did you find its brand of horror more palatable to your tastes?
  10. Cracked Memphis Bridge Remains Indefinitely Closed Disrupting Supply Chain WWW.NPR.ORG Arkansas officials said it had the potential to become a "catastrophic event," adding, "the bridge was closed to vehicular traffic and the river was closed to barge traffic as a safety precaution."

  11. CNN headlines call trumps claim “the big lie” I guess this wasn’t a surprise to me just because there are a bunch of new stations on TV everywhere where I work So it’s hard not to see these quotes.
  12. WaPo preview: ‘Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart’ is Insomniac’s attempt at a timeless game - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM The game tackles the challenge of welcoming first-time players to a franchise already familiar to millions of fans.
  13. So for you, it’s not the death of democracy; it’s the same crap that people are finally noticing.
  14. Ellen DeGeneres to End Talk Show: “I Need Something New to Challenge Me” (Exclusive) WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM DeGeneres gets candid about her decision to wrap up the show, the allegations that nearly torpedoed the series and the parts that she’ll miss most – and least – about her daily platform. And the allegations: There were pretty serious allegations waged last summer and some changes were made to your show. I’m curious how that chapter impacted you, the show and this decision? It almost impacted the show. It was very hurtful to me. I mean, very. But if I was quitting the show because of that, I wouldn’t have come back this season. So, it’s not why I’m stopping but it was hard because I was sitting at home, it was summer, and I see a story that people have to chew gum before they talk to me and I’m like, “Okay, this is hilarious.” Then I see another story of some other ridiculous thing and then it just didn’t stop. And I wasn’t working, so I had no platform, and I didn’t want to address it on [Twitter] and I thought if I just don’t address it, it’s going to go away because it was all so stupid. But it very much didn’t go away… I became a comedian because I wanted to make people feel good. It started when I was 13-years-old, when my parents got divorced, and I wanted to make my mother happy. My whole being is about making people happy. And with the talk show, all I cared about was spreading kindness and compassion and everything I stand for was being attacked. So, it destroyed me, honestly. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t. And it makes me really sad that there’s so much joy out there from negativity. It’s a culture now where there are just mean people, and it’s so foreign to me that people get joy out of that. Then, on the heels of it, there are allegations of a toxic workplace and, unfortunately, I learned that through the press. And at first I didn’t believe it because I know how happy everybody is here and how every guest talks about, “Man, you have a great place here. Of all the talk shows I’ve done, everyone here is so happy.” That’s all I’ve ever heard. So, there was an internal investigation, obviously, and we learned some things but this culture we’re living is [is one where] no one can make mistakes. And I don’t want to generalize because there are some bad people out there and those people shouldn’t work again but, in general, the culture today is one where you can’t learn and grow, which is, as human beings, what we’re here to do. And I can see people looking at that going, “You don’t care about what people [went through.]” I care tremendously. It broke my heart when I learned that people here had anything other than a fantastic experience — that people were hurt in any way. I check in now as much as I can through Zoom to different departments and I make sure people know that if there’s ever a question or ever anything, they can come to me and I don’t know why that was never considered before. I’m not a scary person. I’m really easy to talk to. So, we’ve all learned from things that we didn’t realize — or I didn’t realize — were happening. I just want people to trust and know that I am who I appear to be. You mentioned that it almost impacted the show. What did you mean by that? Were there moments in there where you thought, “I don’t to want to come back to this”? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was four solid months. And you have to understand, in that time, someone got into our house and robbed us and I lost four animals — three cats and a dog died. It was a tsunami. When it started, with that stupid “someone couldn’t look me in the eye” or whatever the first thing was, it’s like a crest of a wave. Like, “This isn’t going to be that big of a wave.” And then it just keeps getting bigger and bigger until it was out of control. And I really, honestly, felt like, “I don’t deserve this. I don’t need this. I know who I am. I’m a good person.” And I was sitting back going, “If I was someone watching this, I would think, ‘Well, there must be some truth to it because it’s not stopping.’” Of course they’re going to believe this because I’m not addressing it because I was told not to and you can imagine what that felt like. And it’s a lot to live up to. I started saying “be kind to one another” because I really believe people should be kind to one another and so it was easy clickbait to say, “Oh, the be kind lady isn’t so kind.” … I am kind, I’m also a woman and I’m a boss.

  16. You know, there used to be a time when Democrats who lost were quickly discarded but Republicans stuck around. But I’ve noticed over the past 8ish years a complete turnaround. The number of Republicans who used to have enormous power yet feel so insignificant now is staggering.
