Had the most awful NYE, which summarizes 2025 perfectly. But I am grateful to start a new job after being underemployed for a year, walk 10K steps most days, and have a cat who likes me 95% of the time. Wishing everyone strength to overcome challenges in 2026 and find joy in the simple things.

Binging shows and really enjoying the new mystery thriller "The Copenhagen Test" on Peacock, executive produced by James Wan and starring Simu Liu. Relieved that Simu is starring in a good show (yes, rep sweats is still real). I also love Melissa Barrera and Sinclair Daniel.

A humorous article by a friend on how Trump ruined news (and democracy) for her but helped her spend more sexy time with her husband. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...
Donald Trump Has Been A Disaster For Democracy — But Excellent For My Sex Life

I'm going to leave this here because I even see a lot of leftists regularly speaking about 'what the country wants' when in fact NO. MOST PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN and LESS THAN 50% of people who voted actually voted for him.
Two thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

A lot of people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is
The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel shows why it's important for businesses and the public to understand that two-thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

I got to preview "Good Fortune" and it surprisingly touches on workplace exploitation and unions. Keanu Reeves plays a naive and sweet-natured angel that reminds me of his character in Bill and Ted. Sandra Oh is a regal archangel.

This made me laugh: I tried to buy a BTS happy meal but it was too early and they were only selling breakfast, but when I got to the window the McDonald’s worker asked me if I was trying to collect the figurines and tried to sell me the entire set for $40.

I took a lot of bible courses decades ago — really — and I don’t remember there being a grand prize for making the most pious social media post being on the list of “get you into heaven” items.

Been thinking about how to defend myself and my friends, family and neighbors from getting disappeared by ICE, and found this app called ICEBlock that alerts users to nearby ICE sightings. Downloaded it immediately. www.cnn.com/2025/06/30/t...
