2024 Book to Help Combat Brain Rot
2024 has been an interesting reading year. For those of you who want to read something unusual that will make you think, read My Husband by Maud Ventura, my number one book for the year.
This book is about the obsessive and manipulative dynamics of one woman’s obsessive and manipulative dynamics of this woman’s love for her husband that takes over one week. The book is an edge-of-your-seat domestic thriller, even though most of the action occurs in the woman’s head. There’s a twist at the end that you won’t see coming. The entire book is 150 pages that can be read in one sitting. This book is unlike anything you’ve ever read, and you’ll think of it long after it’s done.

Still, No Mag Covers for Melania
During her husband’s first term, Melania Trump, arguably the most beautiful and stylish first lady ever, was snubbed by fashion editors and designers alike. According to Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, they have no intention of putting the former model and style icon on a cover during the second term. When asked about this by CNN, Wintour replied, “Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe in.” Meanwhile, the rest of us thought fashion magazines were for fashion, not virtue signaling from the wicked witch that inspired The Devil Wears Prada. Melania is taking in stride by replying, “Been there, done that,” since she’s been on many covers.
People Say Poo to Pantone Color of The Year
The new Pantone color of the year, Mocha Mousse, has been announced for 2025, and it’s being compared to unpleasant bodily functions. 2024 brought Peach Fuzz, which some have compared to the flesh-colored crayon in the Crayola box. There’s always next year.
New Conservative Show to Combat The View
The new era of conservative women is here. CBS is bringing Megyn Kelly and Elizabeth Hasselbeck, a former host of The View, to TV to combat The View.

Female Dogs Are Bitches
A recent Kyoto University study reveals that dogs, especially female dogs, can judge human competence. In the study, dogs watched two actors: one who successfully opened a container with treats and another who couldn’t. When both tried to open a third container, the dogs paid more attention to the competent actor. Female dogs were particularly drawn to the skilled person, suggesting that the female dogs were more judgmental, which surprises no one who is used to getting the stink eye from their female dogs.
