I'm bummed that I can't spend my Christmas Break curled up with a stack of Benoit Blanc novels on account of they don't exist.

What should I read instead?

Looking forward to meeting my wife at an It Happened Party. (Fingers crossed that's soon.)
There will be a cohort of children born that will be known as the It Happened Party Babies. A microgeneration conceived in joy that hasn't been seen since 1945.
I do not think the right is remotely prepared for the scale of celebration that we’ll see When It Happens

Bring back the Mythbusters so they can test this. How many handshakes? What kind of grip strength are we talking here?
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Does your family do Stove Top Surroundings or homemade?
Trump shamelessly lies: "Go to Walmart and other companies, and in every case it's about 25% that a Thanksgiving meal and surroundings are 25% lower. That's big fact."

The high school production of The Farnsworth Invention I saw tonight asked an important question: is it ethical to expose teenagers to the works of Aaron Sorkin? (Also, I was thinking about @worstpossible.world the whole time.)

I realize that the College Board is also Problematic, making this more of a Godzilla vs. Kong situation, but I feel like "You can't use AI on your AP tests" might be persuasive to some people.

Yeah, AI can make photorealistic pornography of any celebrity, living or dead, but can it make a Halloween-themed Michael McDonald parody music video? I don't think so. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go1j...

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.
