  1. "Santa Baby" is a song performed by American singer #EarthaKitt with #HenriRenéAndHisOrchestra and originally released in 1953. The song was written by Joan Javits and #PhilipSpringer, who also used the #pseudonym Tony Springer in an attempt to speed up the song's publishing process. Lyrically, the song is a #tongueincheek look at a #Christmas list addressed to #SantaClaus by a woman who wants extravagant gifts such as #sables, #yachts, and decorations from #Tiffany.

  3. Oxymore quand qui en dit long
    Sur la RTS on peut lire un article relatant la mésaventure d'Ursula von der Leyen (rts.ch/info/monde/2025/article).
    Arianna Podestà, la porte-parole de la Présidente de la Commission, déclare "Les autorités bulgares nous ont informés qu'elles soupçonnaient une ingérence flagrante de la Russie",
    Quoi ? Un soupçon flagrant !
    Il faut comprendre "on sait qui c'est mais on ne fera rien"

  5. Musical Interlude: Here's a local (to me) band that does some really fun stuff. They're very much a retro "hot jazz" group, and I find their music infectious. BTW, "Mobtown" is a nickname for Baltimore, thanks to some severe 19th century riots.

    "Mobtown Strutter's Ball," performed by Tongue In Cheek.

  9. I once read somewhere that in reviewing pornography one reviews the decor. I do similar with #AltNudes, #MaleGaze & #tongueincheek and all. Garter belts? Check. Wearing high heels to bed? Check. Tan lines? Check.
    It's all very interesting.

  12. US friends and fans: I am considering starting to play guitar again. Is anyone interested in buying me a $3000 Ernie Ball Silhouette and getting it into Canada? Terms negotiable but don't get any funny ideas. 🎸🙏
