The news has been pretty heavy around here lately. The Israel/Gaza war, the stabbing in Ireland, the pro-Hamas protests at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting and so much more. So we thought we would report something a little lighter. Wait. (puts finger to earpiece) What's that? Well technically... OK.

Folks, we're being told that this news is not lighter. In fact, it can be considered quite heavy.

In Texas, Republicans should have been celebrating the defection of Allison Strauss to the Republican party. Instead,  there was much rejoicing, but it's unclear what Twitter men were actually celebrating.

For others, Friday arrived early (IYKYK).

Still don't get it? OK, click here (SWF). We'll wait.

Yeah, yeah. Very interesting.

We agree!
