As of Monday, Jan 26th 2026, we're still here.

Hi.

Piece of Tape You Need To Have Seen: Uhhhh… the President posted a bunch of old archival video of New York City from (it seems like) the era he was a child? It looks like it’s from a University of South Carolina video preservation project, and I have no idea how he found it, but it might be the most “Uh oh, grandpa is scrolling the internet wisting for the old days” thing he’s ever done. Next he’ll be demanding McDonald’s add malted milks!

Okay. What a weekend. If you were in, uhhh, 80% of America you got slammed by an insane storm. Some people got sleet, some got ice, up in NYC we got a foot of snow. And in Manhattan a foot of snow is… an event. Because that snow has to GO somewhere and there’s already no space.

Big shout out to my neighbors who did the “cover your car with a giant sheet of clear plastic before it snows” trick. When they pulled the plastic off, the car looked great. They didn’t have to scrape or brush anything, they just hopped in! And realized the entire car was surrounded by two feet of hard snow from people plowing the streets and the sidewalks.

Okay. So obviously everyone is talking about Greg Bovino getting MAYBE fired and MAYBE reassigned and MAYBE forced into an early retirement. If any of those happen, that’s great! Obviously! It is good when our enemies lose. That’s like Enemy 102! [Enemy 101, of course, is “When you go to pull your enemy up from the ledge they’re handing on because you’re merciful, remember they are going to try to stab you with a secret knife.”]

And you probably are not vacuuming up news all day, because you value sanity and have mastered your phone addiction, but there is a certain type of news-adjacent account on social media that I think is taking an incredibly dumb tack on this.
