Albino squirrel sighting! My first one in Tappan Square. I'm curious. What are their territorial boundaries? (Not my photo.)

Now for a Futurama marathon. We love alternate universes. (Maybe?) Yes, we do! This A.U. looks pretty. It's The Farnsworth Parabox.

donderdag 23 december 2021 Jonas: After The Ruin we started over, creating a new society, one of true equality. Rules were the building blocks of that equality. We learned them as Newchildren. Rules like: use precise language, wear your assigned clothing, take your morning medication, obey the curfew, never lie. Midnight movie: The Giver.

Just in bleeping time! Drunk History does a Christmas Special. The Teddy Roosevelt story is my favorite with the kids - Archie and Quentin - speaking with adult voices. (Interesting substitution for the word stick in TR’s famous Speak softly quote).

Turn on KTLA keeping Southern California informed since 1947. Top story: To grandmother’s house or no? Omicron variant disrupts holiday travel plans. Omicron causes less severe illness? Mysterious omicron.

dinsdag 21 december 2021 Tuesday is human sacrifice day at the Sizzler. Morning movie - MST3K: Cave Dwellers. Is that Drakkar Noir?

Chat with a friend about Spider-Man: No Way Home. We're amazed by the news that the movie was the second-biggest box office opening ever... as well as a spreader event. Now playing at the Apollo. By the way! Tom Holland's t-shirt says I survived my trip to NYC.

As usual, Tom shows off his skills at improvising in his latest movie. Biden from the White House: I know you're tired. I really mean this, and I know you're frustrated. We all want this to be over. But we're still in it. And this is a critical moment. We also have more tools than we have ever had before. We're ready. We'll get through this.

Today marks the Shortest Day of the year, meaning a long night ahead!

It's the year 2054, and Pete Davidson is still doing stand-up. What's Pete going to really be like when he's 61-years-old? How's the world going to be in 33 years from now? You still got it, baby. You're the champ. Manchin says he won't vote for Biden's Build Back Better Act. When I think of how many people across our country have experienced various levels of financial devastation over the course of this pandemic... How so many people have lost family members, jobs, homes, apartments, cars, healthcare, etc… Manchin just casually pushed BBB over a cliff. Listening to Rep. Maxine Waters' reaction on MSNBC... She's upset. I'm upset. And my blood pressure is terribly high.

The People's Agenda! Thank you, Rep. Cori Bush, for bringing this truth out. Senator Manchin's obstruction of the People's agenda is shameful and demonstrates his contempt for the American people. Joe, Scrooge! May the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future torture him! The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special is a relief. Thank you, Star Wars!
