i spent the weekend in Punxsutawney too, to see Phil make his #GroundhogDay prediction with my daughter, in homage to the Bill Murray-Andie MacDowell movie. it was goofy and corny and freezing cold and a total blast.
It was a big party in Punxsutawney this weekend. "This is my favorite holiday," one local says of the fuss-free day, adding, "You don't have to even see your in-laws." This year, Phil saw his shadow.

really hoping for The Washington Post to survive. i've been a Post reader since childhood and have subscribed for years. it would be a major, major loss if it failed.
Cannot believe the growing scale of the exodus from the Washington Post. The institution that broke Watergate is now hemorrhaging to death.

When Jimmy Carter became president, I was a little girl growing up in Maryland, near DC. I sent a letter to Amy Carter, who was a couple years older. She sent me a sweet handwritten postcard back saying she was glad I was her friend. Thinking of her now. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/u...
Amy Carter, Thrust Into the Public Eye at a Young Age, Has Since Receded
Jimmy Carter’s daughter had an extraordinary and well-documented childhood in the White House. Since then she has for the most part lived a very private life.

watched It's a Wonderful Life, possibly for the first time ever (can't recall ever seeing it before - *maybe* I saw it once as a kid?)
expected to find it underwhelming and creaky, as often happens with old beloved movies, but was pleasantly surprised. it's earnest and hokey in a good way
