December's concerts went well, the sports went well enough, the travel was enjoyable, and the family time was...different than normal around the holidays?
Politics re-arrives after the holiday with a thud, and it won't be pretty.
Here ends the Twitter thread, next year on BSKY?

Phillies-Red Sox just ended on the Strangest But Truest inning I’ve ever seen.
Zombie runner
4-pitch walk
Wild pitch
Intentional walk
Walkoff catchers interference.
Whaaaaat?
Baseball!

This is not a normal news story, and no news organization is meeting the moment.
The White House is pausing federal grants and loans starting as President Donald Trump's administration begins an across-the-board ideological review of its spending.

regular season:
638-639-27
postseason:
27-26

If we want to save our country, we might need to start being a little (or a lot) more generous.

US housing affordability is a crisis:
The median annual house payment as % of median income has hit 39.4%, the most since the 1980s.
The rate has skyrocketed by 14 percentage points since 2020 and has surpassed the 2006 Housing Bubble peak of 38.1%.
It is now only below the 47.5% record set in 1981 when mortgage rates were as high as 18%.
Meanwhile, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage has risen by 100 basis points since September, to 7.1%, near the highest since July.
Buying a house has rarely ever been so expensive.
January was my worst month in years, y'all. In the receiving line at one funeral, walked it for another, and could have gone to a third...which was just some of the pain and heartache I heard about. Some of it will linger, no doubt. But I'm already turning the page towards leap.

Mass Media gave way to Social Media.
Decades as a meaningful measure of Pop Culture were a fluke of audiences getting their entertainment from Radio, Movies, and TV. You cannot manufacture a consensus of "Where Things Are Going" when everyone is paying attention to something different.
