This was a pretty light year for me, but there are two that stand out:
1. User got really mad over a joke about a second civil war starting in Chicago.
2. People get really mad when you explain, accurately, that defamation suits are actually hard to win and lawsuits are not guaranteed free money.

Every focus group simply reinforces my firm belief that we share a country with very gullible people.

Frank Sinatra's full name was Francis Albert Sinatra and Dean Martin's real name was Dino Paul Crocetti.
Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

The next President needs a 300% budget increase just to de-tackify the White House.
Trump has that shit looking like a C- grade restaurant trying to win back customers with fake glitz and kitschy decorations.

Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

It kind of blows my mind that in 2025, The President has killed 100 people in illegal military strikes and openly announced he's going to engage in a regime change against a sovereign nation while the entire international community and most of Congress have responded with a giant shrug.

MTG is trying to pivot to "adult in the room" because she thinks it's a path to stay relevant and make money.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I think the midterms are gonna be very hard for Republicans. I'm one of the people that's willing to admit the truth and say I don't see Republicans winning the midterms right now, so that doesn't bode well for Mike Johnson."

The Mad King Donald, emboldened by courtiers who looked away, ignoring signs of his increasing decline, ordered his ships to the small country and made impossible demands before consigning his weary people to yet another foreign war.

The lesson we should take when powerful people use drugs is that lots of people use drugs, and those people deserve housing, healthcare and dignity.

I have a joke about Sisyphus but I'm certain you've heard it before.

Seriously though, think of the utopia we'd have if people could still engage in duels.
All these faux tough-guy "alphas" would be relentlessly mocked and become irrelevant when they wilted in the face of a challenge.

I splurged on a nice bottle of vodka (not super expensive, just above my usual fair). It's in a place of honor on my bar with the note "Open when Trump makes the obituary page."
I had been hoping for a glass before Christmas. That probably won't happen, but that day is rapidly approaching.
