You might have heard about that weird Wall Street Journal column which questioned Jill Biden’s right to call herself a doctor.
Joseph Epstein offered the First Lady-in-waiting ‘a bit of advice’ suggesting she stop calling herself ‘Dr Jill Biden’ because it ‘sounds and feel fraudulent, not to say a touch comic’.
“Madame First Lady—Mrs. Biden—Jill—kiddo: a bit of advice on what may seem like a small but I think is a not unimportant matter. Any chance you might drop the “Dr.” before your name? “Dr. Jill Biden” sounds and feels fraudulent, not to say a touch comic. “Your degree is, I believe, an Ed.D., a doctor of education, earned at the University of Delaware through a dissertation with the unpromising title “Student Retention at the Community College Level: Meeting Students’ Needs.” “A wise man once said that no one should call himself “Dr.” unless he has delivered a child. Think about it, Dr. Jill, and forthwith drop the doc.”
And there were lots of admirable and totally on-point responses.
It's weird — I saw all of the Indiana Jones movies in theaters and I don't remember any guys yelling that he didn't deserve to be called "Dr. Jones" in any of them. — Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) December 13, 2020
.@jamestaranto, you and the @WSJ should be embarrassed to print the disgusting and sexist attack on @DrBiden running on the @WSJopinion page. If you had any respect for women at all you would remove this repugnant display of chauvinism from your paper and apologize to her. — Michael LaRosa (@MichaelLaRosaDC) December 12, 2020

Her name is Dr. Jill Biden. Get used to it. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) December 13, 2020
But none were better than this from Dr Jill Biden herself, which managed to be restrained, dignified, and damning all at the same time.
Together, we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated, rather than diminished. — Dr. Jill Biden (@DrBiden) December 14, 2020

Some people are saying they won’t have the coronavirus vaccine because they’re afraid of side-effects from the ingredients, forgetting the side effects of the virus.
Worse than that are the ones saying they won’t have it because Bill Gates has put a microchip in it.

Allison Pearson seems to be trying her best to fill the vacant slot left by Katie Hopkins, with several seriously bad takes under her belt.
She accused a family of faking photographs when their son was forced to sleep on the floor of a hospital while waiting to be seen, said Priti Patel is too short to be a bully, and claimed lockdowns only postpone deaths, rather than saving lives.
Her most relevant outrageous announcement, however, was this …
The reason it’s relevant is that she tweeted this nugget of Covid-19 scepticism.

On Monday, the Electoral College voted overwhelmingly for Joe Biden, removing any further opportunities for Team Trump to pursue legal avenues – however bizarre – to overturn the results of the US election.
The sitting president has tweeted just one thing since the win – a short thread stating that his Attorney General, Bill Barr, will be leaving his post. We’d imagine the two events are connected.
President-elect Biden, however, tweeted this:
In America, politicians don’t take power — the people grant it to them. The flame of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago. And we now know that nothing — not even a pandemic or an abuse of power — can extinguish that flame. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) December 15, 2020
Perhaps Trump is trying to word his congratulations carefully before he shares them.
This is how Twitter reacted to the news of the Biden Harris win. Again.

Over on Twitter Paul Joseph Watson – memorably labelled a ‘repulsive, racist, far-right, Muslim-hating, conspiracy theorist imbecile’ by Piers Morgan – has been busy trolling men who wear a mask to help save lives and stop the spread of coronavirus.
We only mention it because former Tory MP and government minister Edwina Currie – you remember – became everyone’s unlikeliest hero when she responded like this.
And if you thought lots of people’s minds immediately turned to John Major, you’d be right.

With the UK’s Brexit negotiations still ongoing, patience to reach a deal is starting to wear thin on all sides.
It’s also no secret that the whole Brexit saga isn’t exactly endearing Britain to its European neighbours – especially not to Germany, it seems.
Turning frustration into humour, A German television show, Extra3, has brilliantly mocked Boris Johnson and his Brexit proposals in a spoof inspired by The Crown.
Here’s the video – complete with subtitles, of course – in full:
The video, coming in at a little under three-minutes, features clips of Boris Johnson’s most infamous and cringeworthy moments.
And here are just some of the things people are saying about it:

Over to the United States of America, Southern California to be exact, where local news source ABC7 Eyewitness News had a “heartwarming” story to share.
The story focuses on Lorie Carafelli-Fleming, a nurse currently receiving leukemia treatments, and her co-workers who donated their personal time off so she could recover.
Needless to say, the idea of health care professionals having to sacrifice their own vacation days in order for a fellow healthcare worker to recover from a life-threatening illness didn’t leave many people feeling heart-warmed.
Here are 7 of the best takedowns:

In conclusion:
Every heartwarming human interest story in america is like "he raised $20,000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the orphan-crushing machine" and then never asks why an orphan-crushing machine exists or why you'd need to pay to prevent it from being used. — Anosognosiogenesis (@pookleblinky) September 25, 2020

Although he has now been sacked after reportedly encouraging name-calling of the PM’s girlfriend, Carrie Symonds, news has leaked that Dominic Cummings got a substantial raise – despite the Durham debacle – in a year when money for public services was in very short supply.
PM's former aide Dominic Cummings got £45,000 pay rise https://t.co/TN2bJDHEzz — BBC Politics (@BBCPolitics) December 15, 2020
The revelation formed a sizeable chunk of the ammunition used by Keir Starmer against Boris Johnson during Prime Minister’s Questions.
Car crash #PMQs. Johnson searched his brain for any of his prepared answers that may fit the curve ball thrown to him by Starmer, and found none. It would be comical if it weren't killing thousands of people. pic.twitter.com/0YbJELhkUj — Alex Andreou (@sturdyAlex) December 16, 2020
Johnson’s silence on the matter spoke volumes.
Johnson can handle a room full of after-dinner drunks when he has control of the mic. He can handle a newspaper column, when his is the only voice readers can hear. But he cannot handle hard questions, as Keir Starmer demonstrates again and again. https://t.co/j2VZ3Az2Dh — Nick Cohen (@NickCohen4) December 16, 2020

Boris Johnson is telling care workers to survive on less than the living wage. He's freezing pay for our NHS staff.

Our 12 favourite reactions to the likely relaxation of coronavirus rules at Christmas

News
With coronavirus numbers rising, there had been rumblings of a reversal of the government’s decision to loosen the rules for five days over Christmas.
sigh, so that's Christmas getting a book deal next month then https://t.co/IN771DaeHd — Kim Shanley Robinson (@spacecommunism) December 15, 2020
The rumblings became a roar when the heads of the four nations of the United Kingdom had a meeting to discuss the plans.
With baited breath – for one reason or another – the public awaited clarification, and this is what the PM had to say.
This Christmas it is vital that everyone exercises the greatest possible personal responsibility. Think hard and in detail about the days ahead and whether you can do more to protect yourself and others. A smaller Christmas is a safer Christmas.https://t.co/dpk4hK17xs pic.twitter.com/47C09Q8dsI — Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson) December 16, 2020
tl;dr The rules aren’t changing but the advice is to only do what you’re allowed to do if you really have to.
‘A smaller Christmas is a safer Christmas’ isn’t the three-word slogan they would have preferred, but ‘Don’t murder Granny’ was vetoed by the lawyers.
Despite claims by Boris Johnson during PMQs, the four nations were not in complete agreement.

Here are a few of our favourite reactions.
1.
BREAKING: Boris Johnson tells us to have a merry little Christmas, but not the full 5-day Christmas he previously told us to have, unless we want to, then we can, but he'd really rather we didn't, though he doesn't want to sound like he's cancelling Christmas….

See your family. Don't see your family. Eat out to help out. Stay in to help out. Relax. Don't relax. See three other families. But try not to. It's fine. It's not fine. It's hot. It's cold. Follow the rules. Except don't. Merry Christmas. Happy Easter. — Matt Haig (@matthaig1) December 16, 2020

He is more afraid of ‘Boris Cancels Christmas’ headlines now, than he is of far worse headlines in the future. That’s how his mind works, and how he runs his fire-fighting disaster of a government, lurching from one daily disaster to the next without ever learning a damn thing. — Nicholas Pegg (@NicholasPegg) December 16, 2020

People have been sharing the worst food they’ve received at a football match on Twitter and the results are, well… mildly disturbing.
No one expects fine dining when ordering from a hotdog stand on the grounds of a League Two football team, but at the very least you’d expect something that’s not going to result in weeks of nightmares and possible food poisoning.

Dolly Parton donated money to fund the Moderna vaccine, she runs a book-gifting charity and we’ve now found out that she saved the life of a nine-year-old co-star on the set of her new film, Christmas on the Square.
It seems fitting, then, that the undisputed Queen of ‘people as things’ threads, Amanda Wilkie a.k.a. @Pandamoanimum, should take inspiration from such a legend.
Even better, she has paired Dolly with those Christmas essentials – baubles, and it’s simply perfect.

According to some news outlets, there’s a toy shortage this year because of interruptions in production and transportation due to Covid, which must have been a blow for Santa – not to mention hopeful children everywhere.
But there’s always the trusty annual – like these classics of the genre, shared by the wonderful Pulp Librarian.
These are supposed to be terrible, but hand on heart – you know you want a few of them.

When your kids are small, you can let them decorate the tree, then “fix” it when they go to sleep, but what about when older children are trying to help?
Meet Mrs. Flanagan and her son Oisín – a.k.a. Sean Flanagan and Sean Finegan of Foil Arms and Hog.
Watch out for a late entrance from Oisín’s friend, Barry – expertly played by Conor McKenna.
You don’t need to be Irish to relate to that scenario – it’s the same story wherever a Christmas tree, a parent and a helpful offspring are found.
