Moxie = complete disregard for international law and territorial sovreignity
Sen. Katie Britt: "It is really rich that you hear Democrats now saying, 'What's next?' You actually wanted this to happen back when you were in charge but you didn't have the moxie to get it done."

Best wishes for 2026 for all. The last year has been challenging for many for myriad reasons. Hopefully the forthcoming year will see some respite.

Seasons greetings all. Those of you participating in the festivities hope they have been joyful, and for those not that it has at least been tolerable.

Terrible news re: Rob Reiner and his wife
The always-worth-reading Cory Doctorow is on the BBC radiobox talking Enpoopification. I'm not listening because 'Start The Week' is the same kind of cringe as a millennial asking a GenZ to explain 6-7, but if you can stomach it I'm sure it's good.

Any #3BodyProblem fans out there? The novel has been on my radar for a long time, but my shortened attention span has deterred me from starting a potentially complex novel. And now looking for my next TV series to binge I have downloaded the Netfl!X show.

Also, describing Broad Street as a 'cultural hub' is laughable. I mean technically it has a theatre and a concert hall, but it's dominated by terrible bars selling cheap alcohol to the dregs of the city.
