um, it's that time of year again ... here's a BRIEF (thank whatever deity watches over me) video of the White House holiday decor.
But there's something worse! From McMansion Hell. Somehow, it's worse.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Ugh, Mr. S has been awful all day. I wasn't home during the day, but he's not behaving very well at the moment. And the last two days had gone so well...

It's amazing how she manages to have decorations that are neither stylish nor homey. They are not even gloriously tacky or over the top. They're just boring.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
OMG- I am zoom moderating and am so bored. They are in breakout rooms, so I had a stressful time putting them there, but now I am just sitting here in case people get kicked out. What a weird job I have! I have cleaned up my email, and almost caught up on mindless things, and I don;t have it in me to do any more non-mindless things. I also have a zoom Voicethread training at 7PM, but this doesn't end until 7:20, so I guess I get to do two zooms from two devices...

Can mediocrity be profound? Because that is a bottomless well of meh.

Dylan and I decided it looks like a Macy's. It's not as grim as her previous efforts, but entirely lacking the personality and thoughtfulness that literally every other FLOTUS in my recollection brought to the task.
Speaking of holiday cheer, have the address lists for the Buffista card exchange gone out yet? I haven't seen anything, but it's easy to accidentally delete a real email this time of year when every organization that's ever got my email for any reason is trying to sell me something or get me to donate to their cause.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I’m glad Rory is doing better.
I saw some commentary about Elliot Page on tumblr. It was all supportive and sensitive, which means either the world’s improving or I’ve curated my follows really well.
ETA: re: the house. Look, pick a theme. Baby Jesus? Great! Classical children’s’ toys? Delightful. Winter wonderland? Fantastic. But seeing them all kludged together makes me think the house was owned by a Christmas decoration company whose primary warehouse property was repossessed.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Wow, Elliot Page (formerly Ellen Page) came out as trans.
Anyone else’s first thought, “Ooh I wonder what they’ll do with Vanya!”?
I’d wager that Umbrella Academy is as supportive a project as any to come out on.

The Madwoman in the Attic (who is a professional baker) scoffs in derision at silicone loaf pans. She says they're too flimsy and will change shape, which will affect the bread baking evenly and the texture.
Also, I suspect that they will not brown as well.
OMG- I am zoom moderating and am so bored.
May I suggest that you NOT masturbate.
