I am kind of amused by the original artists being wrong on the #XPNcountdown list. Can you imagine if the Marvelettes really performed the original Smells Like Teen Spirit?

This was my list. At least, it was my list on October 28. I'm sure there are others I'll wish I'd included. They Might Be Giants would still absolutely be my number 1. #XPNCountdown

I decided I wanted to hop on this bandwagon of asking ChatGPT to give me a diagram of something. In this case, the 2025 Phillies, including their announcers and coaching staff.

I have never had a company-provided 401k or any other kind of retirement offering. Everything I have saved I have saved myself. Am incredibly depressed right now. I know I’m far from the only one, but goddamn. He’s killing us.

Shout-out to Hudson News (this one was in the Miami airport) for continuing to acknowledge Black History Month and for creating prominent celebratory book displays for lots of travelers to see.

Still unable to avoid the news while traveling. Front page of this Norwegian paper yesterday says that economists fear that Trump’s tariffs will send the world into a severe recession.
I miss boring days when nothing really happened.

I’m in Norway. The Arctic Circle part. I was hoping that travel would allow me to relax and tune out the US chaos, but it turns out it’s impossible. The noise is too loud.

The TikTok message I get is decidedly less neutral. Way more ass-kissing involved.

This is a super weird ass-kissing message for the very guy who called for the tiktok ban in the first place.
He’s going to try to come back and be the hero and all these tech bros are going to eat it up.
Don’t fall for it.

Tonight’s game: Murdle. I’m going to be so sad when the holidays end and I go home and have no one to play games with because organizing game nights with a bunch of introverts is hard.

Crossed Catan: Settlers of America off of the to-be-played list tonight. A little complicated, but probably just because we started at almost 11 pm and brains were tired. Not sure if we totally played correctly.

I think only 2 have come off my list unless I missed something. I expect Hey Ya and Mr. Brightside will be in. Feeling doubtful about the others. Watch if I didn’t pick the one Death Cab song that doesn’t make it 😄 #xpncountdown
