New year, new members of the fam. I’d introduce you, but we’re waiting to get to know them before naming.

Have a safe NYE, and a happy New Year, all.

Fun holiday season fact:

If every church in the US committed to finding a home for just *two* homeless people, we’d run out of unhoused people long before we ran out of churches.

Sending Christopher Anderson as the photographer was definitely not a random choice. Sitting in front of Christopher Anderson not knowing what was going to happen was probably less informed of a choice

One day, not too long from now, I’m going to walk into Lidl and buy milk. And that half-gallon of milk is going to be around for longer than Trump. ⌛️

For anyone holiday shopping for someone who is (or is becoming) interested in cooking: If they don’t yet have a food scale, this is a no-brainer. Broadly useful (far beyond cooking) and stupid cheap.

the hat on shein vs the hat they deliver
Obama in a suit and black cowboy hat. The hat appears to be of good quality. Trump in a suit and white cowboy hat. The hat appears to be of lower quality.

First Chipotle I’ve ever been to that is not sporting classic Klipsch Heresy horn-loaded speakers. This is the sonic equivalent of Coke swapping out cane sugar for high-fructose corn syrup. Booooo.

Anosognosia

A neurological condition in which a person is unaware of their own illness, deficits, or impairments, even when these are obvious to others.

Often seen in Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. This unawareness is often confused w/denial and poses unique challenges for care.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

Not sure what to think of these vintage camera lamps. (But I am pretty sure this is probably the best possible use of one of those dreadful Nikkor 43-86mm f/3.5 zooms.)

The Mall in Columbia — the only indoor shopping mall in Howard County, MD, pop. 350,000 — can’t even fill the lower lot in the parking garage on a *rainy* Sunday after Thanksgiving.

This does not bode well for Q4 2025 numbers.
