Charlie presents the special December 23rd Festivus edition. Interestingly, the French word for Festivus is “Festivous,” but it is pronounced fahs-tee-VOO. (Special note to the very slow: I made that up.)

New pics 12/23 – if you don’t see thumbnails below, this link should work

Happy holidays.

The calendar says she’s only 42, but there must have been some hard years in there.

I’m not sure whether Kerry Katona used this picture as her head shot to audition for one of the witches in Macbeth, but I swear I can hear her cackling “laugh to scorn the power of man,” even though this is just a picture with no sound.

If you have not seen her this year, you might look at her booty pics from August, but be warned that this is not a pretty sight.

This is not a typo:

A Shanghai hospital has told its staff to prepare for a “tragic battle” with COVID-19 as it expects half of the city’s 25 million people will get infected by the end of next week, while the virus sweeps through China largely unchecked.

The number currently infected in that city is estimated at 5.5 million. Yeah, that’s right. They expect 7 million new cases in one week in one city.

After years of enforcing a zero-COVID policy, China’s government has ended its harsh anti-COVID restrictions and now seems to have no plan at all, other than to hide the numbers. Officials have currently taken a page from the Trump playbook – “If we don’t conduct any tests, the official numbers will stay low.”

This joke is currently circulating in China:

Three men who don’t know each other sit in a Chinese prison cell. Each explains why he was arrested:

“I opposed Covid testing.”
“I supported Covid testing.”
“I conducted Covid testing.”
