My brother is sending me pictures of him and his family at incredible sites in Italy, I know they’re there, but the photos look like they were photoshopped into the scene. It’s so weird.

My first review of 2026!

Way too many true crime and scripted crime shows streaming.

It's official: Buffalo has a new mayor, Sean Ryan! First progressive mayor in the city's history!

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

A ray of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy forecast!

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

Google just sent me a ‘let’s help you finish creating your account on your iPhone for the first time’ for an account I’ve had on this phone and have been using frequently for two years. I wonder how much time AI is going to suck out of our lives before they figure out the basics ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When you take a break from the world, and you must, I highly recommend the Australian series ‘Rake’ if only for Toni Collette’s hilarious arc. It’s free to watch on Tubi.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Not Somali.

2026 is not even 7 hours old and and the news is not good.

Oh dear, CBC’s national NYE is so cringe. They’re all lovely but they’re freezing, their banter is awkward and stilted and there’s one guy I don’t think was joking when he said ‘help’ 🥶 but Jann Arden is such a trouper!

Let me understand this. A president rigs an election but faces no consequences because he won the election?

Just a political rant, people are so freaking apathetic. Special election tonight in our county and out of 1M registered voters, 162K of us bothered to vote. What is wrong with people?

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

Happy New Year to the CET Time Zone!!

A mass drone and missile attack is ongoing on Russian and occupied territory. Lots, really lots of drones are heading for Moscow and even more for occupeid Crimea and beyond.
