How I’m walking out of 2025

Like this? #Svengoolie

Are these guys intentionally dressed in extra TV-Confederate soldier uniforms? #svengoolie

“…capable of all the thought processes of a man…” #svengoolie

Insane NY Post column suggesting that the new First Lady who is sad about leaving her longtime neighbors in a not fancy NYC neighborhood is an ungrateful brown woman

It’s time for the Big Broadcast! #svengoolie

“My favorite socks are on clearance and I’m so excited!” is not how I pictured myself ending 2025.

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🌟 We all love a good reindeer at Christmas! These ones were painted in Font-de-Gaume cave in France 18,000 years ago! Rudolph the Red-backed Cave deer? 🎶🦌 #RockArtThursday #archaeology 🏺

After Christmas after party, table for two!

A middle-of-the-night Christmas cookie has been eaten! Time for Part 2 of a long winter’s nap.

What does the #mystery #writer do before cooking on #ChristmasEve? She sharpens her knives! (Mom has asked me to make a Christmas-y fruit dessert, and the one I’m planning calls for close cuts and sharp blades!) Photo: The Spruce Eats

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone! Don’t forget to leave out a pack cigarettes, a pair of size 10 shoes, and Twinkies for John McClane when he comes through the ductwork tonight!

‘Carol’ as in ‘Christmas carol’ originally referred to dances performed in the round. It later referred to the song of merriment that accompanied said dances. ‘Carol’ is your mom’s friend who sells labradoodle sweaters on Etsy.

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

Gifts for those of the Utilitarian faith

i just don't think there are any shortcuts--if we want kids who are readers, we need teachers who are readers, and if we want teachers who are readers, we need professors who are readers

The most damning excerpt from the 60 MINUTES segment pulled by CBS. This is what they don't want you to see. #60Minutes

When you’re already making merry all over town, and he says, “We should stop by the local bakery for a pie…”

Local woman wakes up, starts the OAT (oatmeal access tv) network, a media empire that provides unbiased reporting of all news stories unless you say something bad about oatmeal, makes oatmeal.

Even on the longest, deepest night, don't forget: we're stars. Happy solstice, friends.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

"Babies in the randomized, controlled trial will or will not receive the vaccine at birth... "It is a breach of scientific ethics to withhold an intervention that has been proven safe and effective." www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Yeah…

Merry Christmas, Sven Squad! #svengoolie #MeTV @svengoolieofficial.bsky.social

I think I might’ve strained all the connective tissue in my foot. Blargh!

Holiday hollandaise! With left-over roast beef! Now, that’s a beautiful Benedict! #homemade

A reminder that your book matters, regardless of bells, whistles, shinies, and accolades. It matters because a reader enjoyed it. Because maybe it inspires them. Because you put your heart on the page. Because you did a hard thing, and the act of doing it has changed you.

Me: (working on novel) Brain: Hey, got a great idea for a novel. Not this novel. Me: (typing) Not now, brain. Brain: Don't you wanna know what it is? Me: NOT NOW, BRAIN Brain: I'm not gonna lie, it's SUPER cool Me: LET ME FINISH THE NOVEL IN FRONT OF ME, BRAIN Brain: Okay, I'm gonna tell you

I’ve got a case of the Tuesday Tireds and too much to do.

To celebrate Jane Austen—and to vindicate Mr Woodhouse—we should celebrate her birthday by “staying at home for real comfort”

Started to register a recent purchase so I can have the “free extended warranty” but the hassle and depth of my personal info required makes it sooooo not worth it.

POV it’s 1958 and you set aside 3 hours for the Pyrex showroom

Comedy icon Dick Van Dyke is celebrating his 100th birthday.

Rian Johnson does it again! #WakeUpDeadMan might be his best film yet. Mr C and I are already planning a re-watch this week.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

John McClane isn’t going to rescue America. We the People have to do it with common-sense legislation.

Not gonna lie. Kinda diggin’ the “skinny scarf” trend, especially if they’re double-sided.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

Is this really from the Washington Post’s Sunday crossword?
