This season has been hard. Glühwein is my seasonal delight (blame my genes). I had the BEST brat with sauerkraut and Bavarian mustard, on the crustiest, most Euro bread too. It's the small joys that keep me upright these days.

Some things remain beautiful through the harshest situations.

There should be every version of A Christmas Carol shown on every network perpetually until January to remind some people and the majority of Congress that they're quite literally emulating the heinous pre-redemption Ebeneezer Scrooge.

It's a whole new level of personal overwhelm when I read an obituary and my first thought is "Lucky b@57@rd."

The answer to this is for them to join the Marines, Coast Guard and Navy. That's EXACTLY what they're there for, if there is a threat to us. *Unless Mike Lee trying to legitimize a faction unbound by an oath to the Constitution.* And why would he need to do that? l.smartnews.com/p-6OpxpWyA/G...

Big tech are the new missionaries. THIS is why they're pushing so hard for AI. They can create a completely fantastical narrative, & then ask you, "Can you doubt your own eyes?" Followers have been trained to believe the unbelievable, for millennia. It's the rest of us that are the obstacles.

I missed this yesterday. Maybe it didn't impact people the way it did me. I grew up in a big sci-fi & horror household though. Off into the universe. I hope it doesn't disappoint. 🚀 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/a...

I’d rather watch _________, than his speech.

Hey, Minnesota! Come get your weather. We don't want it!

What a loss. So needless. He was a visionary of my lifetime.

Predatory capitalism thrives under *deregulation*, which only hurts people who actually have to budget for life's needs. Remember that at the ballot box. youtu.be/osxr7xSxsGo?...

While the mortgages may be beyond the statute of limitations for fraud, someone should see if he claimed property tax homestead exemptions on all of his Florida properties. He likened himself to Capone at one time. Could be alike in other ways. l.smartnews.com/p-6K6Jzxwk/F...

Movie you've watched more than six times with a Gif. Hard mode-no Star Wars, Marvel

It's...interesting? how my understanding of & connection to music evolves with time. This came out the summer that I graduated high school. It didn't land then, when I was immortal. But it sure does now. 💔 open.spotify.com/track/2jxqu3...

OHHHHH. Now I get why he would get a #FIFA award. He's a natural!

For the record, Autoheart is just as amazing live as in the studio. So much talent!

Is there a universal law (like Murphy's) that says whenever you start to listen to an audiobook, everyone suddenly needs to talk to you about absolutely nothing, or it's just me?

Ahhhh, so it's okay for the government to listen to our calls, use Flock cameras to tail us, and monitor our online activity for the past 24 years, but Smith should be in jail for doing it to Congresspeople? Let's have it in court. Discovery should be

Share a TV series from the 1960s that you love. 📺 Ooh, tough one. I'll give you 4.

Is the language in the "Zoom out" section unbiased? Terms like "pin__on," and "accusing" are loaded @axios.com

Anyone want to buy my dream home from me? The universe had other ideas, so it's time to move on... www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

It’s miserable to be so sick that you can’t even sleep, and have so much to do but just cannot muster enough energy to do it.

So, just starting Invasion as a break from the packing. Seems the cat is enjoying it too. 😆

Reality tv is the bane of civil society. It encourages taking pleasure in the hardships of others & it also encourages sanctimonious judgment of others’ personal lives made public. I truly think it has significantly contributed to the lack of empathy in society today. www.salon.com/2025/10/20/m...

Cokes and smokes are in the green though. Stress mitigation, I guess. 😝

The blues skies and wispiest clouds look more like spring than fall.

Cotton candy clouds in the twilight blue sky. Looks more like spring than fall.

Envying my cat on this rainy, cool, mad day (week 3) of packing and moving around furniture in preparation for moving. I hoped the last move would be the final one until my nest was empty and I move into an RV. I have moved 22 times already. The universe has other plans. On with the adventure! 🙃

All my GenX brain can hear when I read this is, “You can call me (blue) Ray. Or you can call me (green) Jay. But you don’t have to call me (Gruejay) Johnson!” www.cnn.com/2025/09/29/s...

The sky is putting on some interesting shows this week near Atlanta. And a pair of birds who permitted me to stop and take their photo outside of a grocery store.

YouTube AI ad jingles that have no recognizable melody, rhyming words, or catch phrases suck worse than regular ones. Someone get these ad developers in a meeting with Barry Manilow, stat!

This Roma tomato was born to be a jalapeño. Nature is fascinating. 💜

I’m in the throes of packing for a move, so naturally, I awakened at 5am w an anxiety attack, played games for an hour to make myself drowsy again, and will sleep for another couple, if possible, before I attack this mess and shove some of it in cardboard. I 💜 the adventure, but I hate the packing.

When they say, "What rights have women lost?" THIS is the answer.

I would love a broad study to see how many conspiracy theorists grew up with the National Enquirer or Weekly World News in their homes.

1983ish, there was snow in Central Kentucky on the 13th of October, when it didn't belong. February is when it belonged.The audacity! LOL. If this trend holds, it may happen again. Poor kids will have to wear coats over their trick or treat costumes. That always sucked. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BgujUr/
