PSA: It’s not too late to get your flu shot, as the record-breaking flu season will continue for several months.

While this year’s shot is not a perfect match for the current strain, it will still reduce your chances of getting infected and help protect you from getting seriously ill. Do it now!

There is a special hell for coworkers who pounce on you at 8:45 the day you are back from PTO.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Because I ended up working thru a bunch of my "break," I didn't get to do hardly anything I wanted to get done, including celebrating my work in 2025. In any case, I just wanted to share my site as I'd love some new subs (free & paid!) for the new year: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io

Other than the original on Christmas Day we hadn't watched any of these for almost a year, which will simply not do.
If you love movies then you should watch THE THIN MAN movies – and if you haven't met Nick & Nora Charles, you are missing out. Please believe me on that. They make life...better.

Remember kids, in the year of our Lord 2026, if you see someone stealing food, NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T

Jimmy Thomson @jameswsthomson.com · 4d

So someone was unsuccessful in trying to steal $300 worth of food from a business owned by the Sobey family (net worth $5.5 billion), and the cops thought it warranted a news release

Saanich Police are asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect who allegedly attempted to steal more than $300 worth of meat from a grocery store in the 3400 block of Quadra Street.

Police say the incident occurred when a man attempted to leave the store with the unpaid items but was stopped by security. The suspect then fled the store before police arrived.

Dear legislator: I am not remotely interested in your personal "take" on what the Trump administration did in Venezuela. I would much prefer it if you initiated some kind of action and then told us about it.

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.
