I love so much of this old soul's content, but this one evoked warm memories of my grandmother's house. So much class and style. We should be reviving these styles and recycling these cards so that AI slop may wither and die.

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

I would like to point out that "people speaking different languages" picked the cotton, settled the west, pioneered the farms, laid the railroads, built New York City, and created every food that is worth eating in this country. And so does your wife, J.D.

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
…
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
~ W. H. Auden

My musical tastes always seem bland at the end of year review because my tastes trend towards my emotional needs and this year it's been consistent. Apparently my emotions need Glen Miller and Bach, with Gorillaz and Radiohead thrown in to make me seem spicy. Which they might have, 20 years ago.

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

What is your favorite piece of holiday media and why was it invariably created by Jim Henson? (I kid... but seriously, Emmet Otter, Muppet Family a Christmas *and* Muppet Christmas Carol? Talk about a stacked deck)

One of the things about trust is that it is efficient. It saves you having to invest a lot of time and effort in verification, and if placed in the right places, saves you a lot of pain.

In any other administration, a Cabinet member posting something like this would have been a weeks to month long scandal on 24/7 news networks with everyone screaming for the president to remove them or impeachment would happen for that secretary's removal.
Instead? It's just another Sunday night.
