Anecdotal reports say that folks in the US passport offices did yeoman’s work and burned the midnight oil processing passports that may be a problem come Tuesday (gender changes etc) and made sure to get them out the door to USPS. These folks are fucking awesome.

Okay, so, for years I’ve heard the joke about how different Us services interpret the order “secure that building.” Has it been updated to include Space Force, yet? If so, how?
[version I’ve heard: 1. USMC storms the building and kills everyone inside. 2. Army sets up a perimeter and roadblocks with checkpoints for several blocks around the building. 3. Navy locks the doors on their way out. 4. USAF: gets a 5 year lease with option to buy.]

FUCKIN MOLASSES. Today is the anniversary of the Boston molasses flood. It tempting to be all "ha ha flood of molasses!" but it was pretty dire. There's a book about it, Dark Tide.

Okay, HOURS of troubleshooting including some off-hours bullshit for a problem that came down to "oh, that's not plugged in correctly."
Gonna have to get a spiffy new dunce hat to wear after that silliness. Although, there's something to be said for "oh god what a fucking stupid mistake at least it's easy to fix" rather than "oh god is this some weird new bug we've run into?"

Not sure how the season is but the S1E1 opening several minutes of the Kathy Bates “Mattlock” show has her doing some A++ social engineering. Old ladies can be so invisible.

Okay, wow, my profile pic is old because these days, compared to that pic, I just don't have anywhere near as much brown in my hair and way more grey.
I should see if I've got a good more recent pic.

Okay, this is amusing. I know it has Meta cooties all over it, and apologies if it's behind a login wall. But I was amused.
Imagine your dining experience at "Oops, I ate it again", a mid 2000's music themed restaurant.

HEY NERDS! The days on a 1975 calendar match 2025, so you could use the Marvel 1975 calendar this coming year if you need this level of cheeze in your life. https://tainthemeat.wordpress.com/2016/12/14/the-mighty-marvel-calendar-for-1975/

Okay, looks like I read something like 35-40 new-to-me books this year. Most of those were via the library ebook lending program.
There were also a few rereads and a bunch of short stories.
So not quite a book a week but not that far off.

I feel like “nonplussed” is becoming like “inflammable”, to become a word that means two opposite things. I keep running into usages where it means “deadpan/unbothered” or something instead of “startled to the point of flailing at how to respond”

Okay, “Hundreds of Beavers” was delightfully stupidly fun. Even more “live action cartoon” than I expected.

Reading about this guy, Tino De Angelis, who did impressive scams with olive oil and nearly crashed the whole market. And realizing that if he was around today he would absolutely be in crypto.

Oh cool. Kanopy (streaming service that I can access via my local public library) has some deep cuts. “Quiet Earth”, “Phase IV”, “Seconds”, and more. They also have “Grabbers” which is less of a deep cut but SO FUN.
