A joke for old people. What did Jim Nabors' friends do on his birthday? They threw him a surprise, surprise, surprise party.

I gave Bug a little salmon loin for Christmas and she virtually inhaled it.

Christmas mood and carols in the heart of Kyiv today ✨🌲 despite (and in spite of) the horror Russia brings with the war , we celebrate . Because life wins . Because life always wins. Here are the koliadnyky - Ukrainian traditional carolers - all signing together near St Michael Cathedral, and then

It was going to be soup and sandwich for me tomorrow, until a sweet neighbor, Judy, said she was making a roast, and offered me half of it. In celebration, I'm whipping up some garlic mashed potatoes and making a German chocolate cake.

On Christmas Day tomorrow, I'm forgoing the holiday movies and watching "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" for the first time since I saw it in theater when it came out.

My last read of the year (surpassing my goal of 95 by 1) will be the 896 page "King Sorrow" by Joe Hill.

Give all the authors you love a Xmas present by sharing something about their books online. It's free and more powerful than you can imagine.

Know what sucks? Playing with my cat and one of her claws gets hooked through the back of my hand.

Help and hope are always available, even when they seem hard to find. If you or a loved one is struggling this holiday season, call the free 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to get connected to a trained counselor who can help, day or night. Take care, Wisconsin.

I was just reminded of this - how a felon and convicted sexual abuser stole money from children with cancer but enough USA citizens thought he was the sort of person who should lead their country that he is President FOR THE SECOND TIME www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Merry Christmas to bookish baseball fans.

I saw on Prime a film called "Peter Cushing In His Own Words". Amazing. I didn't know he had his own words.

The AI fake movie trailers on YouTube are annoying.

There's a movie called "Bloodfart Lake" on Prime.

No! James Ransone is gone. I just finished watching "It Chapter II" an hour ago. This is horrible.

Decorating for the holidays at the Executive Residence is about more than making the place look festive, it's about celebrating all the communities and Wisconsinites who come through the doors. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

I just rewatched "Doctor Sleep" for the first time since it came out and enjoyed it even more. It felt more immersive.

Mike Johnson was pissed that we pushed a petition through and are forcing a vote on extended ACA tax credits. He just can’t stop losing. But right now we need your help. We need everyone to contact Congress and tell them to get it done:

I'm reading a book by one of my favorite foreign authors (translated into English) and read a passage that made note of the "grizzly crime scene". Yikes.

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities. 28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

A new bag.

After running a deficit for 30 years, I'm proud of our work to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars, and now, our state's checking account has a positive $3.9 billion balance, and our rainy day fund also has a record-high balance of $2 billion.

I'm reading "Not Born of Woman: Paradise Investigations Book One" by Teel James Glenn. Adam Paradise is a detective. He's also Frankenstein's monster. It takes place in NYC in 1939. Pulled me right in. I already can't wait to get to book 2.

President Trump's Tariff Taxes are costing holiday shoppers about $28.6 billion more this year. That's about $132 per shopper. So much for lowering prices on Day One...

We want to make sure state government works—and works better—for the Wisconsinites we serve. Unfortunately, Republicans are once again obstructing resources that can help cut down on wait times and delays and improve efficiency. It's wrong-headed. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

This is Joan Gregson’s final onscreen appearance. The actress, who portrayed Mrs. Kersh in IT: Welcome to Derry and IT: Chapter Two, passed away in June—just two months after filming her role in Season 1, Episode 8 (“Winter Fire”). Rest in peace. 🖤

Read this. Then read it again.

Alert! The e-book of MONGRELS by @sgj.bsky.social is on sale for just $1.99! This is the novel that first introduced me to his work and I've been a fan ever since!

My daughter sent me an extremely comfortable, luxurious fleece robe, and this is the bag it came it. It's Bug's now.

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust. He has proven these points virtually every day since. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

On a positive note, the season finale of "It: Welcome to Derry" is spectacular.

Why do people keep posting Trump's deranged posts? We don't need to see them.

Our farmers work hard every day to put food on our tables, and they wouldn't have to be "bailed out" if it weren't for Trump's reckless and chaotic trade wars in the first place. www.wpr.org/news/trump-a...

He's feeble, working only a few hours a day, more erratic than ever, and his base is starting to figure it all out.

America isn’t some neutral “nation of freedom”—it was built on land theft, genocide, and slavery, all to concentrate wealth and power. The dictatorship of capital doesn’t just exploit workers; it legitimizes and profits from the destruction of entire peoples. #SettlerColonialism

#GVerse An unforgettable moment he made to his lovely friend.
