I'm late in posting this, but I've officially started my HALLOWEEN VIEWING 2025!

I started Sunday (I think), and my choice to kick things off this year: Season 1, Episode 1 of Netflix's WEDNESDAY!

So far, so good! Ortega is great in the role, and the setup for the series is intriguing.

Ugly Christmas Sweaters lost all meaning when they started marketing them specifically as ugly Christmas sweaters. Those are just nerd sweaters now. They don't hold a candle to Grandma's Fabric Paint Snowmen with the word "Blessed" in rhinestone that you find at the thrift store bc she died.

In my home, I just made a Homie the Clown reference in the Year of Our Lord 2025.

My New Year's resolution for 2026 will be to catch up on my "WHASSUUUUUP?" references.

SESAME STREET debuted #OTD in 1969.

It changed the face of children's television — and transformed the way a generation looked at race and the world beyond our doorstep. #SesameStreet #SesameStreetDay

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”
