Man Wins $10 Million Lottery Twice in 2 Years
A Brooklyn man won $10 million off a scratch off ticket about a year ago, and he just won another $10 million off another scratch off bought at the same store.
Gonna wait till after the investigation before I congratulate him.
Thomas Jefferson, Swivel Chair Inventor?
In Wednesday night’s debate, Vivek Ramaswamy claimed that Thomas Jefferson invented the swivel chair while writing the declaration of independence. But Politico says it was actually a German pediatrician in the 1500s.
This is fairly low down on the list of things to appreciate about Thomas Jefferson. When I think of TJ I’m not thinking of office furniture.
NY Mayor Approval Rating Sucks
He’s at 28%, the lowest for any city mayor since Quinnipiac began polling in 1996.
The real question is, who are the 28% who thinks he’s doing a good job?
Jeb Bush Wants Old Dudes to Stop Trying to Run the Country
You just happen to hate one of the old dudes.
So Who Would Trump Put in His Cabinet if He Wins?
We know Trump will choose his cabinet based on loyalty which rules out a lot of people. Stephen Miller, Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, Kash Patel, and even ole buddy Steve Bannon are on the speculation short list.
He’s basically picking the people who will go to jail with him.

Bills Coach Says Sorry for 911 Remark
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott is apologizing for a statement he made to his team in 2021, telling them they need to come together like the hijackers on 9/11.
He should go back to that Manson family example he used to use.
Skip Bayless Names Names
Several Dallas Cowboys players gave Bayless quotes on the condition of anonymity, and he just decided, fuck the anonymity. He said “Herschel immediately became the media darling in Dallas, because he did 1,000 push-ups and 1,000 sit-ups every morning without fail,” Bayless recalled. “And trust me, his teammates didn’t buy that phony baloney for one second. So numbers of those teammates came to me and said, ‘You got to write that this guy is not for real, you got to expose him because this is fraudulent. He does not do 1,000 and 1,000. Again, these were anonymous quotes. I’ll tell you who they were from because they would stand behind them today. But it was Everson Walls and Dennis Thurman and Mike Downs and Ron Fellows and that group…So I wrote it from anonymous sources.”
Good luck getting any more anonymous sources, bruh.
CELEBS & ENTERTAINMENT
Nic Cage Almost Ready to Retire
He told Vanity Fair, he’s pretty much said all he has to say, and imagines he’ll do three or four more movies and then call it a career.
So whats that give him, another three weeks?
Chevy Chase Falls Off Stage
At Shea’s Performing Arts Center in Buffalo, NY, Chevy was participating in a screening of Christmas Vacation. After being wheeled on stage in a wheelchair, he got up and walked to the front of the stage and just kept walking, setting off his Apple Watch’s fall alert.
Maybe this is just another chance to get downs.
Alan Ruck Sued
The Succession star is being sued for an accident that caused Ruck to ram a car at a red light before slamming into a pizza joint.
In his defense, the pizza joint pulled out in front of him.
Yellowstone Creator Suing Star Over Coffee Logo
The actor who plays Rip Wheeler on Yellowstone opened a new ranch themed coffee company, and Taylor Sheriden feels like the logo is too similar to his own Ranch’s logo. Hauser’s brand “is confusingly similar to the BR Brand used by Bosque Ranch” and is “likely to cause confusion or to cause mistake or to deceive,” the complaint argues.
If there’s anyone more hatable than Taylor Sheriden its Cole Hauser.
Emma Stone in Poor Things Could Get Yorgi an Oscar
Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos weird movies are very divisive, but if you believe Slate, his next movie is so good it could get an Oscar. Poor Things stars Emma Stone and Slate calls it “a kinky delight to watch, a movie about the search for pleasure that serves up plenty of it along the way.”
Forget all that, lets give the Oscar to Willem Dafoe.
