For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"

“MAY THEY ROT IN
HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!”
The man who wrote those words will take (and thus defile) the Oath of Office as President on January 20, 2025.
