As many times as I've seen "Singin' in the Rain," I still don't understand what this "Broadway Melody" number is supposed to be. It's not part of "The Dancing Cavalier," is it?

Saw BUGONIA and will need to watch it again because seriously, what was that?

2025 has been a year of tumult and uncertainty and a year in which the president of the U.S. has spent at least part of one in three days at his private businesses and one in four days playing golf.

Amazing that Lex Luthor in the latest Superman movie is also the kid from "About a Boy."

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains.

I have spent a *lot* of money on Lyft this month, but it’s still about half of a car payment + insurance + parking.

Just watched "Honey Don't!" — which is supposed to be a comedy? Ugh.

In case you missed it: I’ve got a new (warning: somewhat intense) story on @npr.org about all the ways faith leaders have pushed back against the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign this year — including clergy directly confronting ICE agents and police. www.npr.org/2025/12/24/n...

The year-end summary from @lawfaremedia.org is overwhelming, but essential. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/lawf...

The light always returns.

Went to Mass. Had a tamale and some eggnog. One thing left on my Christmas Eve to-do list. youtu.be/j9jbdgZidu8?...

She wrapped him in cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them at the inn.

“Frog!” cried Toad. “I am sorry for all the dumb things I do. I am sorry for all the silly things that I say. Please be my friend again!”

“Nice little country you got here. It’d be a shame if something happened to it.”

PSA to DC-area folks: the sunset right now is pretty spectacular.

Okay, but for real some of the best Thai food I've ever had was at Cafe de Bangkok in Hallowell, Maine.

And this is *Tuesday* of *Christmas week*.

Gee, why does Netflix think I need to know that "Idiocracy" is leaving the platform soon?

Yikes, man, the Pentagon City Costco parking lot is like the Hunger Games tonight.

Well, this is exciting: @bookreporter.bsky.social chose THE OLIGARCH'S DAUGHTER as one of its "Bet On" books for 2025 and is giving all 42 books away to one lucky reader: www.bookreporter.com/features/end...

Canceled Paramount+ back when they canceled Colbert, and I have not missed it. If you haven't already done that, you can do it today.

I am not the only person who looks at this headline and thinks, I’ll do almost anything I need to do in order to save my job-with-benefits.

My college theater friends and I got together on Zoom yesterday afternoon for a reading of "A Christmas Carol." We will be theater kids until we die, and I thank God for it.

Oh, just sitting here weeping over the TCM Remembers video.

I got to pet him. We’re all winners today. #HoyaSaxa

It’s been so long since last we met . . . #HoyaSaxa

The holiday edition of ABC to XTC is next on @rtegold.bsky.social, with seasonal tunes from @petshopboys.co.uk, @azteccamera.bsky.social, @sharonvanetten.bsky.social and more. Listen via the RTÉ mobile app or stream the show at www.rte.ie/radio/gold/

They only hang out with me when it’s really cold.

Was he Wazir? He was! youtu.be/My_LO0HRwxM?...

Frog came into the house. “Toad,” said Frog, “your pants and jacket are lying on the floor.” “Tomorrow,” said Toad from under the covers. “Your kitchen sink is filled with dirty dishes,” said Frog. “Tomorrow,” said Toad.

The money wasted on nonsense like this over the past 11 months boggles the mind.

Why yes, we DID win trivia at @portcitybrew.bsky.social tonight.

Barbara Rose Johns was 16 years old in 1951 when she led a student strike for equal education at R.R. Moton High School in Farmville, Virginia.

God help me, that Kelly Clarkson Christmas song is pretty good.

Remembering Kirsty MacColl today. Everyone listens to "Fairytale of New York" at this time of year, but this remains my personal theme song. youtu.be/gAtBQYuPwd8?...

It’s called the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts … by law:

The word "compute" as a noun makes me want to set things on fire.

'My year end reading statistics' (originally for @theguardian.com books). p.s There's still time to pick up new book Physics for Cats at good bookshops and online www.tomgauld.com/comic-books-v2

Hoya, Hoya saxa!

All it took was me having to leave my apartment building until the fire truck came. (Everyone’s fine.)

The fire alarm went off in my building five minutes ago and somehow or other it has to be That Man’s fault.

Marquette’s coach has a cooler name than Georgetown’s, but that’s no reason we shouldn’t beat them. #HoyaSaxa

FS1 better not interrupt the Georgetown-Marquette game for any madman’s babble, that’s all I’m saying.

the president should be a person we can go a few days in a row without thinking about. our brains simply weren't made to think about a president every waking hour. it's unnatural.

Maybe this is why I'm not a Beltway journalist, but I think the fact the United States is about to invade Venezuela to take their oil is an 100X bigger story than Trump's chief of staff going on the record with Captain Obvious characterizations of their dysfunctional regime

I needed to stay up for @themountaingoats.bsky.social tonight. Thanks, y’all.

Hot take: Goodfellas is a Christmas movie.

What . . . what did Venezuela steal from us? I feel like I've lost the power of language.
