You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?" Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

Spark of happiness this week: seven of us wandered over to another town for a Pokémon TCG Cup last night and took it down completely. One of my Trainers won the whole thing, myself and another of my Trainers made Top 8, and our other friends all did great. Huzzah Classic City Pokémon League!

Yup. Feel how you want to about U2 but the band’s interactions with belief and faith and doubt, especially in the 90s, are a great starting point. I mean, Wake Up Dead Man is literally a U2 song

Received word one of my former coworkers from the libraries passed away this weekend. Jay was exceedingly kind, funny, and a great baker. I didn’t know him well but when he came by our office he was always a welcome sight. May he rest well.

I don’t know if I can even claim to have survived 2025. Even the small bright spots are so dim in the face of all of this. I accomplished nothing. I lost so much. Maybe one day I can look back and find something to smile about in the wreckage of this year but that’s a long ways away.

Since everyone forgot already, this was the vaunted "promised vote" that Democrats accepted to end the shutdown. The result, as expected, is Democrats accomplished absolutely nothing except giving Susan Collins another free vote to pretend she's a reasonable centrist in her upcoming election.
