Remember kids, in the year of our Lord 2026, if you see someone stealing food, NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T
So someone was unsuccessful in trying to steal $300 worth of food from a business owned by the Sobey family (net worth $5.5 billion), and the cops thought it warranted a news release

And if this is the case I don’t see how the rest of world doesn’t start seriously considering dragging the US President & his cronies to The Hague in the similar way.

At least they probably should.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Can I get a drumroll please? I’m back with my favorite annual piece where I look back on the trends and themes of this year’s horror releases, and celebrate the best of studio, streaming, and independent productions in what is our greatest genre. The Best Horror Movies of 2025:

Yes, it’s 2026. But 2020 was still 3 years ago. I can’t explain it either.

Why aren’t they called “Valerie and the Pussycats” is certainly a mantra for the year.

I’ve listened to a number of quality podcasts this year but only one has been truly groundbeefing.

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

My favorite part of the Beatles documentary GET BACK is when George & Ringo are recounting the plot of the book which would inspire the film FREEJACK leading into him demoing “I, Me, Mine”.

It’s ridiculous there’s no White Castle in Madison.

Nothing brings me more happiness than my family. From our little clan to yours, have a very happy holiday season - and best wishes for a joyous 2026.

Here's our attempt at a bad sitting at a 1990s Sears portrait studio, accompanied by our annual holiday letter. We hope it gives you a smile.
