First off: Just a note that this post accidentally ran for like twenty minutes yesterday afternoon! My bad! I goofed up my dates in our CMS. I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek, if you saw it!
We are VERY close to Hanukkah and Christmas! If you need last minute gifty ideas, I rounded up a bunch from Amazon. (Despite what I said in that post, I also just ordered a bunch of stuff from LL Bean. Pray for UPS!) I hope, whatever you have on tap this weekend, that you have fun.

This is a good essay at the Cut about being middle-aged. (The author is but 40. I did not allow myself to refer to myself as “middle-aged” until I was about 45. I do plan to live to be very old and kooky but let’s get real.)

Lainey runs down the Golden Globes noms — and has a fun tidbit about Tom Cruise — and speaks for me when she says, “we won’t know if the Globes still register as an event worth attending until the night of. Given the lackluster reception for the nominations this morning, the turnout could be dicey. We might see the death of a major awards show! THIS is the drama I care about, not who wins a fancy paperweight.”
OMG somehow I didn’t know he was doing this. At Slate: Just How Much Money Has Eric Adams Lost by Taking His Mayoral Paychecks in Crypto?
