Happy New Year, I liked the end of Stranger Things and you are wrong if you disagree.

2025 had some real low points for us as a country, but it also had some real low points for us as human beings. So who is to say what kind of year it was?

Listen up “Ms. Rachel.” Internet famous librarian Alex Halpern here, and I’ll be damned if you’re going to just give books away to kids for free without checking with Dolly Parton to make sure they haven’t already gotten the same books from her.

Time for the staff at NYT Connections to just give it up.

Suing everyone who doesn’t like me for hurting my feelings is sure to get them to like me

I liked Avatar and I liked Avatar at Sea and I am sure I am going to like Avatar on Fire and maybe one day Jim Cameron will make Avatar on Ice and I’ll probably like that too.

How is it simultaneously 3pm and 1am on December 26th and December 29th?

Who called them candy cane flavored peeps and not Peepermints

Making fudge, as I do every Christmas, and my hands are getting noticeably arthritic and I don’t care for it.

This is 100% true.

I can’t decide if it would be worse if JD Vance was an actual Nazi or if it’s worse that he is so sociopathic that he is pretending to be a Nazi to pander to Nazi voters. Ultimately it doesn’t matter because the result is the same but it’s wild!

Well that’s the least shocking news I’ve ever gotten

Absolute worst part of being an adult is that you need to have a dinner plan every day

Want to go on record now, in advance, that going to war with Venezuela is a top ten worst idea of all time, possibly worse than Iraq 2, which I also predicted would be a top ten worst idea of all time.

Oh snap we really are going to wag the dog this thing huh

It was Andor 2 because I am a basic 43 year old man

Susie Wiles fell victim to the oldest journalistic trick in the book, multiple on the record interviews.

Why do my party leaders insist on humiliating me in front of my friends

This is the way.

Boy he does not look good

That’s one of the more dystopian headlines I think I’ve ever read

Wow and I thought he killed a lot of people in the Taken franchise.

I hate everything and everyone

Welcome to the Democratic Party, Bill. We have tshirts.

Demanding that my children display holiday spirit and help decorate because we all become our fathers.

Manufacturing consent in such a short time frame is going to be hard, but they’re sure going to try.

I’d like to offer a hearty eff you to NYT Connections this morning, of which I only got purple, breaking a record-setting eleven day connections streak.

Andor > The Empire Strikes Back

I like turkey and I like candy corn and I think you people just hate autumn

That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed when the gales of November came early

So long, Marjorie. You’re one of the worst people ever to have sat in the United States House of Representatives and wow is that saying something.

It’s also important to remember, I think, that Trump’s brain is absolutely mush.

I love how normal everything is I love it so much

I was going to say “did Walmart write this?” And then I remembered it’s CNN and they probably did.

Maybe the files ARE going to do it because the man is very clearly unspooling.

We know how to handle these things in Oregon

It's trans awareness week and you might not know this but hi I am nonbinary and hi I have a nonbinary main character in my new novel, BEINGS <3 bookshop.org/a/20948/9781...

When you accidentally universal healthcare

I have more respect for Clay Higgins being an absolute bananas nutball and voting no than I do for the folks who have spent the last year trying to keep this vote from happening and voting yes for political cover.

While the odds of the DoJ actually releasing all the Epstein files even when ordered by Congress seem low, I do have faith that eventually the Wall Street Journal of all publications will find them and create an extremely inappropriate interactive multimedia web story.

They are making everything worse, even stuff that was already bad

To everyone posting excerpts from the Nuzzi book to dunk on her “bad” writing, “unethical practices,” and general “buffoonery…” thank you it is pretty funny.

Hey things are bad but the McRib is back so this now just a McRib account

Keep pushing for the Epstein files and we are going to get universal healthcare and equal rights amendment out of trump lmaoooo

Conan O’Brien is innocent.

The Aristocrats!

Turns out tanking the economy, using secret police to round up families, sending the troops into American cities, and firing tens of thousands of public employees is not super popular, huh.

JCO truly has the heart of a Poster

And he failed, further emphasizing how unfit he is for this moment. LBJ would not have stood for this.

At least by caving the democrats confirmed what I’ve always said about them, making me right, which is at least a small consolation.
