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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
