Betty White died at the perfect time, at the age of 99.9, mere days before newsstands had a bunch of "Happy 100th birthday, Betty White" magazine covers on them.

Didn't someone do the math here that because of the number of leap years she lived through that she had the extra days to make 100?

I bought that issue solely because I could feel Betty cracking up at it with me from the ether
Objectively, dying days before a bunch of people print "Happy 100th Birthday" is the funniest time to go.

Nancy Pelosi stands down as leader of US House Democrats

But now who's going to mockingly clap at republicans, or tear some sheets of paper, or perform some other worthless gesture?
I'm sure you'll find someone else to loathe.
There’s plenty, but a Speaker who isn’t big on insider trading would be nice.
Edit:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has defended elected representatives and their spouses who play the stock market following an alarming report on the dozens of lawmakers who bought and sold health care stock during the pandemic.
At least 75 lawmakers invested their own money in companies that have been key to the United States’ response to COVID-19, according to Insider, which began publishing its findings Monday.
“We are a free-market economy,” Pelosi said Wednesday. “They should be able to participate in that.”
pelosi would probably be more fondly remembered if she stepped down a while ago but the last years of her tenure played on all of her weaknesses
like many old-blood DNC she had no meaningful way to respond to the rise of fascism in america
her primary late roles were opposing politically good things like banning insider trading
and a lot of people were increasingly aware that the DNC was bleeding talent due to the old guard solidifying for so long that there was no longer any upwards mobility in the party
I dunno guys. Her quiting isn't the leftist feel good story we all deserve seeing as how she quit after a fucking right wing lunatic broke into her house and tried to murder her family.

I don’t think anyone was? She is just one amongst many corrupt, unaccountable politicians who, through her complete inability to combat American fascism in any meaningful way, has helped usher in a generation of paranoia, violence, and hardship; if not the end of the American empire itself
I just remember the stated case for her to stay speaker was “because she did good fundraising” and I’ve been forever mad about that in the face of emergent fascism, they were like “instead of fighting back, let’s fundraise”
I dunno guys. Her quiting isn't the leftist feel good story we all deserve seeing as how she quit after a fucking right wing lunatic broke into her house and tried to murder her family.
If that were the reason why she was stepping down, sure

Nobody is *happy*
Is there not a post where 9 people awesomed her leaving leadership? Like it's not that far up there
I guess that's not a one to one endorsement or like a hi5 of someone quiting after being a victim of stochastic terrorism.
I'm not in the Nancy Pelosi fan club or anything I've got other shit to worry about but Jesus christ can we not be fucking ghouls?
...anyway is kissinger dead yet?

It is not ghoulish to be happy that a person who caused significant material harm to the people of this country is stepping down for bad reasons. Nuance, man.
3cl1ps3 its one thing to be glad she's not leading anything anymore. It's another to ignore that literally the thing that caused it was someone coming to murder their entire family.

Like, that's not really nuanced at all.
Nancy Pelosi struck a deal Wednesday with Democratic rebels intent on denying her the speakership, paving the way for her to reclaim the gavel she lost eight years ago.
The California Democrat has agreed to limit her time as speaker to four years at most. In return, a critical number of lawmakers who vowed to oppose Pelosi will support her in a crucial Jan. 3 House floor vote.
The proposal also limits the time her two deputies, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), can stay in their posts, although those changes will likely have to be ratified by the full caucus.
The proposal limits the top three Democrats to three terms in their current leadership posts. The leaders have an option to pursue a fourth term but must win two-thirds support of the caucus to do so. Currently only a majority is required.
The term limits are retroactive, meaning the four years Pelosi served as speaker beginning in 2007 would count against her. The same goes for Hoyer and Clyburn, meaning the longest the three of them can serve in their current posts is through 2022, though they could serve in other leadership positions.
Anyway, Pelosi's biggest legacy will be her near complete disinterest in using the House as a check on the presidency while in power during the Bush and Trump administrations. She can fuck off and disappear.
“Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice,” Pelosi said at an event with the Congressional Black Caucus shortly after the verdict. “For being there to call out to your mom, how heartbreaking was that,” Pelosi said during the news conference. “And because of you … your name will always be synonymous with justice.”
Pelosi went on: "So rather than saying, 'Well, we have to defeat them,' no, let's just try to persuade them. I want the Republican party to take back the party, take it back to where you were when you cared about a woman's right to choose, you cared about the environment."
To the audience's resounding claps, the House Speaker added: "Hey, here I am, Nancy Pelosi, saying this country needs a strong Republican party, and we do, not a cult, but a strong Republican party."
Nancy Pelosi has called off a dinner for new Democratic members of Congress after a Twitter backlash from people who claimed the meal would flout Covid restrictions.
On the same day that she described the pandemic as an ‘emergency of the highest magnitude’, a photo was posted of the lavish dining room being prepared in the Capitol.
...
At first, Ms Pelosi’s office stood by the decision, saying: “Our office strictly follows the guidance of the Office of Attending Physician, including for this dinner. To be a further model for the nation, this event has been modified to allow Members-elect to pick up their meals to go in a socially-distanced manner.”
But 90 minutes later her deputy chief of staff tweeted: “Members-elect are now picking up their boxed meals and departing the Capitol. There is no group dinner. Members-elect are in DC already for orientation.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused the Trump administration of housing immigrants in concentration camps on the Mexican border and used the phrase “never again” that is associated with the Holocaust.
”The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are – they are concentration camps – and if that doesn’t bother you,” Ocasio-Cortez said as she throws up her hands.
”I want to talk to the people that are concerned enough with humanity to say that we should not — that ‘Never Again’ means something,” the New York Democrat said in a Q&A posted on politicsnowadays’ Instagram page.
Pelosi’s advice, however, was for her caucus to be careful with their words.
“I do have comments to make to the caucus at large about the political nature of — how politically charged that atmosphere is,” she told reporters Wednesday morning. “So understand that while the Republicans have no interest in holding the president accountable for his words, they will misrepresent anything that you say just — if you have one word in a sentence they can exploit.”

Betty White didn't die she just went back to her home planet.
I'm from Alabama, and as such, am unaffected.
Betty White died at the perfect time, at the age of 99.9, mere days before newsstands had a bunch of "Happy 100th birthday, Betty White" magazine covers on them.

I just assumed the worst sentence was, "Henry Kissinger is still alive."
