Admiring how we, as a species, seem to enjoy crunching the icy edge of an old pile of snow with the tip of our shoes. Everyone at the bus stop seems to be independently and voluntarily doing this. How lovely.

illustration of a cute brown bear in yellow wizards clothing holding its arms out over a bubbling black cauldron filled with soup. around the bear and cauldron float pieces of corn, broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, tomato, peas, pepper, and spinach. magical sparkles are also around the floating food, so you know it's magical. under the cauldron are the words "cooking is magic"

We should embrace the term "neighbor" when referring to folks, even when they don't literally live next to you.

I walked into a bar with my pet salamander. The bartender said, "He's cute. What's his name?"

"I call him Tiny.", I replied.

"Why do you call him Tiny?"

"Because he's my newt."

Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

The headliner game on Sunday Night Football is Steelers/Ravens. Apparently the NFL enjoys slammed door farce.

XII
GET DRUNK!

One should always be drunk. That's all that matters; that's our one imperative need. So as not to feel Time's horrible burden that breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without ceasing.
But what with? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose. But get drunk.
And if, at some time, on the steps of a palace, in the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you are waking up when drunkenness has already abated, ask the wind, the wave, a star, the clock, all that which flees, all that which groans, all that which rolls, all that which sings, all that which speaks, ask them what time it is; and the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock will reply: 'It is time to get drunk! So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk; get drunk, and never pause for rest! With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose!'

On the Fifth Day of Christmas, my True Love gave to me

FIVE GOLD RINGS

But they were all of them deceived, for another Ring was made

In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master Ring, to control all others

Writing is thinking, and if I asked a GenAI chatbot to write the thing I was vaguely thinking when I stated, I wouldn’t have thought about the things I thought about while I was writing the thing I eventually wrote?

La Gourmandine donates a ton of food to groups and causes that need it and I love them for it very dearly. It's extremely awesome to be able to give people fancy pastries.

LOOKING OUT AT A DRAB SKY

It’s a sullen sudden Fall.

(Sun up but no, not really.)

Fuzzy and dim, fuzzy and dim,
nothing sharp in this day’s drawer
so far. Still, up in the day, such as it is,
I must be.

But then some blue
sneaks through.

Every time I hear that someone has β€œrizz” my immediate reaction is to picture Rizzo the rat in his letterman jacket and backwards hat, and then if I think whoever we’re talking about is at least as cool as that I go β€œyeah”
