BRAVO! Your 3-part 2025 "Year in Review" was +10/10. 2025 is/was equal parts tragic, horrifying and comical. Please be aware and mindful—every time I hear "Newt Gingrich" I shit my pants. Merry Christmas!

Waiting to see how your review stands up against the ratings with the Melania Movie and the
trump redacted Epstein Files.

J ingle Bells to you...
Remember. Every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings and ever time Trump lies and someone repeats his lies, Satan's daemons get their own pitchfork.

Thank you for your review of this awful year. It hasn't given up quite yet, but I think we may just survive it. Don't have much to add, but I would call your attention in this year of rampaging Christian nationalism to something Michael Penn (the musician Penn brother) said in 2020, just before the election. He was being asked why he had decided to donate the proceeds of his very political and quite timely song "A Revival" to William Barber's poor people's campaign, and part of his answer was "The opposite of right wing Christianity isn't left wing Christianity, it's Christianity."
I don't know why hearing that made me think of Blue Gal, but it did.
Hope your holidays went well.
