- I can't get a handle on this omicron variant. It seems to be exploding everywhere, but not yet in Texas.

- We had two people get Me Too'd yesterday. Merry Christmas, again.
- Home page of the Dallas Morning News. "Dozens"?
- Trump's wife is going to try and con people out of their money with NFTs. (There is no way that either her or Trump know what "leveraging blockchain technology" means.) Grifters gonna grift.

I'm dying here. (3) Excited about Righteous Gemstones coming back.
- Time which has passed since the Wise County Sheriff's Office has failed to solve the murder of Lauren Whitener in her home at Lake Bridgeport: 896 days.
