If you watch the colorized version of It’s a Wonderful Life, you will be visited by an angel who will show you how much better your life would have been had you not watched the colorized version of It’s a Wonderful Life.

How do you just β€œfind” a million documents?

If this is just their fucking way of flooding the zone with fake documents in an effort to delegitimize the real ones…. 🀬

In a normal timeline, this would rock me to my core.

It’s sad that I just read this and think, β€œYeah, that tracks.”

There were more headlines when Biden stumbled over his words.

Those who demand more evidence in the face of already staggering evidence before they turn against DJT had no problem believing that Biden had died in 2020 and was replaced with a robot because "Trust me, bro."

Is it too much to ask to search the hard drives of 36% of the US population?

β€œWell, he’s going to get away with this because he always has before. So let’s just let him.”

But just like with everything else he says, we need to stop believing him. Our belief in his β€œreality” is what’s holding us back.

Don’t play his game. Use your power. Resist.

Here’s the thing: He isn’t Teflon. There’s nothing special about him. He’s gone through life carefully constructing an image of himself that says he’s untouchable, that he can do whatever he wants. So we give up. We fold. We say,

I remember back when there were serious consequences for obstruction of justice.

The fact that DOJ didn’t redact all instances of the victims’ names is keeping in line with what we knew all along:

The victims are not their priority. Protecting Donald Trump is.

If the Justice Department doesn’t have to follow the law, why am I expected to?

Yes, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock characters are technically Muppets.

But β€œTHE Muppets” are Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, and the rest of the gang.

For those who didn’t watch it, it was just lies, shameless self-promotion, and blaming others to avoid taking accountability.

I mean, I didn’t watch it either, but he’s not going to change his ways now!

Yet another reason I feel so cynical.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

It’s funny that The Charlie Kirk Show is condemning Trump’s words about Rob Reiner because if Charlie Kirk were still with us, we know he’d been doubling down, supporting the president, and fanning the flames.

He knows how badly we’re going to speak of him when the time comes.

And there’s nothing he can say that will top it.

He is a man who has even turned his struggles into inspiration. It is worth it to watch clips of him as he talks about his struggles with alcoholism, his road to recovery, and his reawakening to life.

Well, he made it! Happy 100th, Dick Van Dyke!

I grew up on Mary Poppins. (Still one of my favorites!) And I enjoyed seeing him dance at 93 when he made his appearance in Mary Poppins Returns years ago.

And I started rewatching The Dick Van Dyke Show months agoβ€”a show I loved and grew up on.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Let us just not forget that when watching a video in which it is satisfying to watch Piers Morgan mercilessly mock someone and take him down … that Piers is also a huge piece of shit.

I loved Tapeworm, Eve’s Video, Video Visions, Video Unlimited, and Pelican Eye. (They were all in Goshen.)

I’m sad that I let Blockbuster draw me over to them for a while in spite of their horrible prices, late fees, and customer service. Those other places were MUCH better!

Right here!

This is a picture of Chicago Avenue. Right across the street from the Kroger parking lot.

Tapeworm started out on the left side of the building. But then they moved to the right sideβ€”where they were (I believe) for most of its time in business.

The two Christmas episodes of ER in which they heavily imply that Santa Claus is real live rent-free in my head.

Why do people say stuff like the following?

β€œUnpopular Opinion: I hate coleslaw.”

That’s not an opinion. I agree that you don’t like it.

How about this?

β€œUnpopular Opinion: Coleslaw is gross.”

Confession: I put more cinnamon and sugar on toast than what is necessary or appropriate.

One of the most exhausting things about being alive right now is growing numb to everything going on around us because it’s too much to take in and focus on … and then having moments of rage and fury that slowly become more than we can bear so we grow numb again.

Trump should identify as a woman so that all of their stereotypes of female leaders can be accurate.

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I’m trying a little under 10 recipes. And they’re *almost* exclusively from The Golden Girls Cookbook.

Why? I don’t know. I found it on Hoopla, and I’m just going for it!

(Plus, who doesn’t love The Golden Girls?)
