Random Notes, December 2025

I'm trying to get back to writing this blog more consistently. I came down with some kind of viral infection early last week, and even though I'm mostly recovered, I'm still hoarse and finding time to rest has proved difficult. Now I'm putting my energies toward catching up on the year in music.

+ BEAR DOWN, CHICAGO BEARS! The future is now at Soldier Field. While I'm not expecting a championship this year, the turnaround and the change in culture has me reeling. The NFC is more wide open than it looks; neither the Rams, Seahawks, nor Niners look perfect, which should make for an enjoyable playoff. 

+ The Epstein files are out (mostly) and it's damning. The right-wing media is focused on Bill Clinton's presence in assorted photos and documents, but we know he's a sex pest and always has been. (Also, he left office 25 years ago.) Yet again, they're trying to protect a sitting president that has barely any moral compass and pivots to other concerns on a second's notice.

+ Phony rage-bait if there ever was: a college undergrad deliberately wrote a terrible essay to provoke a transgender college professor and plastered it online to gain sympathy from fellow Christians. Maybe if she'd actually quoted the Bible, she might have received one point out of 25.

Next week: as alluded above, my annual music recap.
