Are we there yet?

When the very paragon of status quo journalism is discussing the president's pet army and his attempts to take over the economy, it feels like we might be at a pivotal moment.

Maye Musk doing a media blitz where she advocates for more and more and more children (whether you can afford them or not) and the incredible benevolence of her son is giving incredible Disney villain vibes.

Grandparents sending a truckload of Christmas gifts when you pleaded with them to keep it low key this year.

(I realize we're fortunate to have this problem, but we're going to have to start selling the kids' beds to free up storage space.)

Reskeet with the first album you bought with your own money.

Purchased in a rural Ohio K-Mart.

Next purchase was Sir Mix-a-Lot.

No idea, folks; no idea at all what we were doing.
