I don't want to wait until the last minute for this - let's start early to give ourselves time to think:

NEW RULES FOR 2026
------------------------
1. Restaurants can't serve with weird plates unless there's a safe 'n sane way for servers to get them to your table.

2. For every video you post of yourself crying, you must also post a video of yourself comforting someone while they cry. And like, they have to be cool with it - don't slap Grandma and then video yourself comforting her.

3. If you're a late night host and you spend your days dunking on a celebrity or other famous person, you are banned from hosting them on your same show when they have something to plug. Pick a lane.

4. If a little kid is playing with a toy phone and they hand it to you - I don't care how hard you are, how tough - YOU PICK UP THAT PHONE.

5. Vote with your wallet, not with your mouth. If you're all fired up on Disney, I don't want to hear about your trip to Disneyland or your thoughts on the latest Disney project.

6. Wash your hands every time. If you see someone leave the bathroom without washing their hands, give 'em a little 'washy-washy' signal with your hands. Let them know we see.

If you must be rich, be Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift. Not Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

Take five minutes - put away whatever's on the floor. Just five minutes, just whatever you see that needs to get put away.

@inkican that's partly what I expected: dental infections. But I didn't expect a causal link to Alzheimer's.

My wife is a childhood cancer survivor who had two years of chemo and radiation, including cranial radiation. She had so many dental infections, including many that started inside the tooth, that our family doctor advised her to have all her teeth pulled. He said that many infections and being in antibiotics basically year-round were extremely dangerous for her future health. Seems he was right.
