For every coffee drinking dad with a label maker, may your year end as wonderfully as mine.

After years of noting the date I opened my coffee container, I achieved Nirvana with my coffee supply lasting exactly three months — ending on this final day of 2025.
Photo of labels sticking to the top of an empty Folgers coffee container. The labels show the date our legendary human opened the container. The January date is missing. Still. Usage indicates: 2 months. 19 days. One month 19 days (I spilled a lot!). Two months 14 days. For journalists, economists, teachers, and statisticians attempting to replicate, the user brews six cups a day utilizing three rounded scoopfuls. He appreciates the predictable, so rarely uses an alternate coffee source. Due to a proclivity for brewing strong coffee, a reciprocal benefit is that he rarely has to share. He will offer, but it's a disingenuous offer. Generally, he considers himself a nice human. But, he recognizes he's kind of a d&¢$ about his boring bold coffee. He also has a problem cursing. He tries, but then edits it because he's a liberal version of Ned Flanders (Word choice only. No such luck when I wear a ski outfit). While concerned this event marks the apex of his life, he quietly hopes 2026 will make this event a mere footnote in his personal tale of awesomeness.

Not a bad consolation prize for missing the sunset.

Brutal Jeopardy headline from Yahoo News

Losing a job can be rough, but a news story reminding the world you lost your job 21 years ago today?

Yahoo news shows a smiling Ken Jennings with the headline. "21 years ago Ken Jennings lost on 'Jeopardy!' after 74 straight wins." Adding to the cruel reminder, a BlueSky moron (me) thought it was amusing and posted. That same moron also looking up lyrics to Weird Al song because he's singing annoying himself by dragging out the "Bayyyybe" line way too long because he can't remember the words after that. In further disclosure, he didn't know there was an original song until his late 20s.

The rockstar of economists speaks.
James Johnston of the group Biffy Clyro plays bass as he imagines what his life could have been like if he had become an economics professor. "Sure a few people remember the song 'Black Chandelier,' but I'd rather be saying 'mate,' and 'bloke' while on international news programs. Then I'd feel like a real rockstar."

Yeah. She read it.

I really wanted this phys.org article to be about a light saber—so disappointed.
Headline: Laser light made into a super solid for the first time Image is a boring screenshot without a single lightsaber, death star, or wookie. It's just a science article about a supersolid that's both a solid and a fluid. Huh? I'm sure it's reat, but not lightsaber great.

Horror? No, but non-fiction can be far more frightening.

"The Woman They Could Not Silence" by Kate Moore (Radium Girls).

If it doesn't make you angry and defiant, you're probably a fan of those Joffrey Baratheon scenes in Game of Thrones.
