2026 has a lot to live up to. Can it continue the ten-year streak of every year being the worst year ever?

Tis the season.
Chalk cartoon of Santa and his sleigh approaching forked trolley tracks. One way leads to a single elf tied to the tracks, the other way leads to five elves tied to the tracks. An elf standing at the fork controls the switch. Caption: The Jolly Problem

Chalk cartoon of a man in a red tie standing before a judge. Judge says, “Your crimes are an existential threat to the nation, but as the founders intended, you’re now the boss of everything because we ran out of time.”

Yes indeed.

Jefferson created his “own” Bible by cutting and pasting Bible text.

I’ll watch for this book.

Star Wars Intro Scroll Episode IV It Was All So Stupid Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.
