I ate vastly too much. Also drank vastly too much. I shall sleep way too little now. Might as well keep it going.

I went to the secret Santa exchange with the family. We were picking our gifts and I said “I do not need any more glasses at this point I could open a bar!” 90% of the gifts were glassware! I barely squeezed by getting some nice glass bowls. Everyone passed out laughing at all the glasses.

If you loved children’s TV programming in Canada in the late 60s through to the mid 90s, then this documentary will bring back amazing memories. It is only on CBC Gem for another 7 days unfortunately. It shouldn’t be missed.

Interior with a woman and man sitting in front of a cozy fire waving at the camera with santa hats. The bottom of the photo says “Merry Christmas” with a Culture Junkie logo This image is not AI just nicely stylized so that it could confuse some.

History tells us where this "co-opt or destroy" scheme leads. In 1945, when it became clear he could not own the future of Germany, Hitler issued the "Nero Decree."

He ordered the destruction of his own country's infrastructure. If the nation wouldn't serve him, it didn't deserve to survive him.
"If the war is lost, the nation will also perish. This fate is inevitable. There is no necessity to take into consideration the basis which the people will need to continue even a most primitive existence. On the contrary, it will be better to destroy these things ourselves, because this nation will have proved to be the weaker one and the future will belong solely to the stronger eastern nation. Besides, those who will remain after the battle are only the inferior ones, for the good ones have all been killed." Adolf Hitler // 1945 On the "Nero Decree"

After a few revisions this is what I have decided on for the YouTube banner. I think it’s much better than the logo that was there before!

absolutely love this for the @washingtonpost.com
screenshot from thehill.com article titled: Coast Guard denies report it won't classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols BY FILIP TIMOTIJA - 11/20/25 3:23 PM ET The Coast Guard said Thursday a Washington Post report that claimed it will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols is "categorically false." "The claims that the U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses or other extremist imagery as prohibited symbols are categorically false. These symbols have been and remain prohibited in the Coast Guard per policy," Adm. Kevin Lunday, acting Coast Guard commandant, said in a statement. The Post reported the branch, part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), will classify swastikas, widely recognized as a symbol of the German Nazi Party and linked to the killing of millions of Jews, as "potentially divisive," along with the Confederate flag and nooses, citing documents it obtained.
