To be fair to Dick van Dyke, we were told nothing about his Mary Poppins character's background. For all we know he grew up in Adelaide and immigrated.

The overlords are coming.
JUST IN: House Democrats consider probing Apple, Meta, and Elon Musk's companies

Polls say people feel worse about the economy now than in the midst of the financial crisis.
JUST IN: A blowout jobs report. The US economy added 165,000 jobs in October. That’s above expectations of ~65k. August and September also revised a lot higher. There was a big surge in professional and biz services hiring (+70k!), along with ongoing gains in healthcare and transportation Unemployment rate: 4.1% (down from 4.2% in September) Wage growth: 3.1% -->That’s below inflation for the 7th straight month, but it was stronger than expected.

It’s also kind of ridiculous how people talk about the Iran war like we’re bogged down in the Somme. It is basically a naval blockade.

If you take our 2026 health insurance bill and multiply it by four, you get our 2027 bill.

Our Ring doorbell camera just sent a message, not that someone was at the door, but that a UPS person was at the door. It recognizes uniforms now and I'm pissed I didn't know this on Halloween. I'd have loved a "Run! Zombies at the door! Run!" message.

I have a confession to make. I committed massive voter fraud: I voted for Doug Jones hundreds of times, using fake names, IDs, birth certificates, the works. My name is Ryan Grubb and I am the Offensive Coordinator for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Please arrest and prosecute me.

Our political culture over the past few years has managed to create an outlaw spirit around being a... Republican. That really took some doing, if you think about it.

I think today is an important day to remember a lot of hyperbolic commentators swore the midterms were not going to happen.

For fuck's sake, or for fucks sake?
Control of the House and Senate may not be immediately clear on election night, and some of the 2026 midterm election calls will take longer than others. But that's not unusual or an indication of fraud, as some candidates may claim. cbsn.ws/3WpfJP1

This, from @ConradMBlack carries much truth, but will not be widely recognized any time soon.
