January 2026 is off to a slow start– I'm asking for suggestions on where to go, and what to see. Quite literally! Plus my thoughts on the most recent Louise Penny...
January 2026 Newsletter
Hello, friends and neighbors. You may have noticed that I, uh, didn't post as much last month as I wanted to. No offense meant to poor Shane Black, but I just couldn't sit down and watch any more Christmas content. KISS KISS, BANG BANG is a wonderful film and I think some of Val Kilmer's best work. LONG KISS GOODNIGHT has Geena Davis!

I genuinely don't think bad people should have decorum in their reaction to their deaths
"But what if people think YOU are ba-" Then motherfucker you better be dancing on the streets in spite of me when I croak! Better than pretending you ever gave a fuck about me

You know, I remember when Cody Johnston (the Some More News guy) argued social media polarization has damaged our ability to temper our reactions to the deaths of public figures.
But, I don’t know, man… I think it’s a good thing when bad people are no longer in a position to harm others.

I'll always remember Doug as the guy who, as the camp fire destroyed a whole town full of his constituents, remained laser focused on his twin priorities of banning trans women from sports and delisting wolves from the endangered species list. Rest in piss bozo

Anyone who continues to support Israel when they're doing stuff like this is not only complicit, they're fully evil
"The raid followed a student event held in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and coincided with preparations to screen a film titled “Hind Rajab,” which documents the killing of a five-year-old child during the Gaza war."

"The issues" are not immutable. Americans do not come out of the womb arguing about trans girls in Division III volleyball.
The issues are what you make them. The issues are what you're loudest about.
Create the conversation around these murderers' war crimes, don't equivocate, and don't let up.

And, you can also change the narrative yourself, by leading the public. Public pressure absolutely moves politicians. Sitting around waiting for others to take this seriously is failing. Making something the story and making the public care about it is the job of a politician.
IMO the argument is that you can make things into big enough deals that it matters. Khanna found Massey and found survivors and made the Epstein Files the gigantic story it should be. Only then did establishment Dems come along. You can, in fact, make things into big hairy deals if you do it right.
