Yeah, but so can alcohol, smoking, microplastics, and red meat. Heart disease is back to being the #1 killer of Americans, and humans still prioritize fear over serial killers and Bird Flu rather than heart disease and car accidents.

Humans are notoriously bad at assessing risk. It's a lot of work to overcome our cognitive biases.

This is the actual analysis the infographic should present. The ratio of income to debt is more revealing. All of Alabama can be up to their eyes in debt and this would miss that fact simply because their average income is lower.

Simply having dollar figures means practically nothing other than for a few smooth-brained people to look at the state where they live, see a number that isn't as much as they owe, and sigh that it could be worse.

I always loved the Yuppies next door played by Tasha Yar and Reg Barclay.

It's such a weird movie, but so are all the Christmas movies from around this time. This one really is the Christmas equivalent of Manos: Hands of Fate.

I can't stand that unreasonable pressure for everything to be fucking magical all on one day. Never liked it. Everyone is always disappointed their lives aren't TV.

The lack of creativity makes everything a Hallmark Channel race to the bottom of the barrel. Dull, droll, snoozefest.

I would genuinely prefer going back to actual Saturnalia. At least that sounds fun.

The easiest shot to take is against one's own team.

Lucky or biased?

The UK betting market has been more accurate than polls for more than a century. It called the 2020 and 2024 winners a week or so out. The only misses have been Dewey vs. Truman and 2016, which polls also missed.

What if we just re-name breakfast "Wokemeal"?
