Let’s Make A To-Don’t List

Avatar photoby

Welcome to 2026. The gym parking lots are full, the TV is telling you to reinvent your entire life before breakfast, and the “New Year, New Me” crowd is already exhausting.

I say we aim a little lower—and a lot happier. The key to peace of mind isn’t adding more chores to your list; it’s knowing what to ignore. So, instead of resolutions I won’t keep, here are the five things I am absolutely, positively not doing this year:

  1. I am not pretending to understand Crypto. If I can’t hold it in my hand or eat it, I am not investing in it.
  2. I am not arguing with bots. If your username ends in eight random numbers and a flag emoji, you can yell at the clouds all you want. I’m moving on.
  3. I am not eating kale. Unless it is fried in bacon grease. And even then, I’m suspicious.
  4. I am not treating “Breaking News” like a fire alarm. If it’s truly important, it will still be important after I finish my coffee.
  5. I am not apologizing for being offline. The world survived for thousands of years without instant replies; it can wait another hour while I watch the birds.

The floor is yours. What are you taking a pass on this year? Add your “To-Don’t” items below.

    by David Horsey

    One year on our planet lasts 365.242199 days, the time it takes for the Earth to make one circuit around the sun. Other than that precise measurement, many of our markers of time’s passage are arbitrary and cultural, not scientific.

    The 12 months of the year align loosely with the 29.5-day cycles of the moon, but some have 31 days, some 30 and one just 28, except every four years when it has 29.

    In the world’s dominant Western culture, a new year begins on the first day of January, although the Chinese would disagree. It would make more sense to mark the commencement of another orbit of the sun on the shortest day of the year, which falls in late December, but that would mess with the orderly march of the months.

    We are about to make the shift from the year 2025 to 2026, another arbitrary number counting from the birth of a remarkable baby in Bethlehem that is estimated to have missed the actual birth by about three years.

    Humans have set up systems — and altered them repeatedly over the centuries — to impose a semblance of order amid the mysteries of the unfathomably vast universe and the improvised progression of each person’s very brief existence on a tiny planet floating in that universe.

    We are entering another year with pundits telling us what to expect from the next 365-plus days, but no one knows anything for certain. At the moment, Democrats look likely to win back control of Congress in November, but a lot can happen in 11 cycles of the moon. America might be at war with Venezuela. President Donald Trump might force a peace deal in Ukraine, or he might let Vladimir Putin’s tanks roll into Kyiv. Inflation might fall or a new pandemic might appear. Terrorists might commit an atrocity or a loner with a gun might change history.

    Or, most unlikely of all, good things might happen that will break through the rancor and distrust that divides Americans.

    We simply do not know what is next. But, whatever happens, there will be plenty of reasons for me to draw political cartoons.

    Happy New Year!

    Trump’s damage will take a generation to repair, but deaths can’t be undone | Opinion

    The damage Donald Trump has done to our “Experiment in Democracy” will take a generation to repair. The damage he has inflicted on the health of Americans and people worldwide is criminal. In his first term, he politicized COVID. This extended the pandemic, leading to more deaths. The indiscriminate cuts to staff and funding of federal agencies and universities will hinder research on cancer cures, vaccinations and will stop life-saving experimental treatments. The best scientists will not want to work in this country.

    Canceling USAID, our most effective foreign aid, will be devastating. It will stop the children vaccinations in poor countries and treating epidemics worldwide before they can come to this country. It is unacceptable for pregnant women and children to contract preventable illness!

  7. jamie, I had to find out more about Hogmanay. here’s what I found, and it may have some goodies in it that may surprise you.

    We don’t celebrate New Year in Scotland – we celebrate Hogmanay instead!

    There are plenty of unique Scottish new year traditions, some very old fashioned but others that are still seen right across the country. You might even get the chance to visit the Stonehaven Fireballs or Comrie Flambeaux one year. I’m here to explain them all to you and hopefully help you learn how to celebrate Hogmanay the Scottish way!

    The one thing I remember from my childhood is that my father never gave me a gift at Christmas. That was a serious time courtesy of the Presbyterians in your video. The gifts came on or slightly after the New Year.

    Way back when I wrote a blog article about Hogmanay and Old Lang Syne

    There are certain experiences that should not be missed. These aren’t the climbing Everest type, just human places to be a certain times. A couple of them involve the New Year. If at all possible, find a group of real Scots, at least one of whom should be a dark haired man as you will need him after 12:01 a.m. I have a few that I wouldn’t slam the door if they came calling in the wee hours, particularly if they were carrying really good scotch. I’ll light the fire and hang on to the coal for later as any of these guys could start a fire without help.

  10. Yesterday’s short was just one story from our ELEVEN TO NOON livestream on a life seen from the inside of Hollywood.

    Coming at 11am ET — Bill Hudson’s 18 years with Cindy Williams.
    Today’s ELEVEN TO NOON is pre-recorded. Live chat resumes tomorrow.

    From teen idol fame in The Hudson Brothers to the cult horror classic Hysterical, and life with Goldie Hawn and Cindy Williams, Bill Hudson was there for it all. Dive into the archives.

    In this short he remembers his pal Bernie Taupin:

  11. Shirley Feeney chose violence (and we love her for it). 🚗💨

    Bill Hudson remembers the morning Cindy Williams decided that if the Paramount guard didn’t know her name, she wasn’t stopping the car. More fond memories of their 18-year marriage, and friends forever.

  12. As to crypto, It has always looked like a search for the next sucker investing. And as the old poker saying goes, “if you are at the table and can’t spot the sucker, it is you”.
    As to Kale, why would you eat it? There are so many different greens out there that give you the same nutrition and they will be nice tender and flavorful. If your local market doesn’t carry a good selection just go to your nearest large Asian market. They will not only have a large selection of greens but at a good price too.
    I’m using mustard greens today, in my own version of hoppin’ John.

  13. One of the advantages of age is that the things you don’t do gets a lot longer while the should do list gets almost miniscule. My current daily do list is love my kids and be kind to others. Everything else will be attended to eventually if absolutely necessary.

  14. I still have garden tomatoes in the fridg and a few green tomatoes yet to ripen. Also some chillis. So I can still make pico de gallo. Take a spoonful on top of a porkchop under the broiler. Nuke some mixed veggies and a meal that will top 99% of the sitdown restaurant offerings.

    A lot of my don’t do list looks suspiciously like “lazy and don’t give a damn.” The great thing about being old is I can tell myself “thats ok”. Instead of beating myself up over my failures,
    Meanwhile, I still have my procrastination list. I just don’t worry about it as much.

  17. A politician you can love

    A cat named Stubbs was the honorary mayor of a town in Alaska.
    Most politicians are at least somewhat divisive. One notable exception: Stubbs, a cat who served as the honorary mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, for more than 18 scandal-free years. He first entered office around 1998, when the town (technically an unincorporated census-designated place) and its 900 residents chose him as their leader. (Rumors that Stubbs was officially elected as a write-in candidate are incorrect, but locals loved their feline “mayor” nonetheless.) Over the course of the next two decades, Stubbs became a popular tourist attraction and performed such mayoral duties as, in the words of Smithsonian Magazine, “wandering around the town, drinking catnip-laced water from margarita glasses, and of course, sleeping a lot.”

    Stubbs isn’t the only animal to lead a town. A black Labrador retriever named Bosco served honorably as mayor of Sunol, California, from 1981 until his passing in 1994; the town later erected a statue in his honor. Fair Haven, Vermont, made the wise decision when electing its first-ever mayor in 2019 to put a goat named Lincoln in office, though he was defeated in the following year’s election by Murfee the therapy dog. And across the country in San Francisco, Frida the Chihuahua had a one-day term as mayor in 2014 — among many other furry, friendly local officials.

  18. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5668310-trump-dc-golf-courses-national-links-trust/

    President Trump’s administration has terminated a lease agreement with the National Links Trust (NLT), the Washington, D.C., public-private nonprofit that has overseen and operated the District’s three municipal golf courses for the last half decade.

    Signed in 2020, the agreement was made between the NPS and the trust with the goal of redesigning and renovating the historic sites where the courses sit, using money from private donors and the District government.

    But the Trump administration argues the park service, which is part of the Department of the Interior, has not fulfilled obligations to make capital improvements at each of the three courses in a timely enough fashion.

    D.C.’s public golf system is known around the region and country for its affordability, scenic views and historical relevance.

    Rubble from the demolition of the White House East Wing is reportedly being moved to a public golf course.

    Trucks were spotted on Friday hauling loads of dirt from the demolition site and depositing them at East Potomac Park, a municipal island golf course along the Potomac River.

  19. I am never eating kale… at least not on purpose.
    Crypto… don’t know… don’t care.
    I am discovering that being offline is making me calmer and happier.

    For my own…. I am definitely not getting involved in other people’s crap.

  20. I did enjoy The Hudson Brothers’ show on Saturday mornings and the boring island of Peegee-Peegee. . “Hey, Margolis!”

  23. Jack – yesterday I was cycling through the news website/pages and came across the best of 2025 and guesses for 2026. Reading through it made me realize how far from the entertainment world I exist. For most of the names I could not recall ever seeing or hearing (at least my phonetic version) the names. Movies, no clue. Music, nada. Television, nope. I did have some thoughts on politics, of course.

    Did it bother me to be so out of touch? No, not a bit. In fact if reinforced my comfortable isolation from things that do not include me, or have any effect on me. Being old has changed my concerns. No more fluff, other than my little world fluff. I am now working out my path to spending it all before my fini.

  24. Kale…..I remember him……used to do that stock car stuff….him and Tiny Lund and Fireball Roberts…..

    Tiny quit racing and opened a Fish Camp. I think it was him……

  25. Some types of kale are bitter, some are not. I like it boiled with salt more than raw and massaged with oil.

  27. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mamdani-sworn-ag-james-private-midnight-ceremony

    Mamdani sworn in by AG James in private midnight ceremony

    The early Thursday morning event was a private ceremony where Mamdani was accompanied by family members at the Old City Hall Station, a decommissioned subway station with deep historical roots.

    In his first speech as mayor, Mamdani called the historic subway station a “testament to the importance of public transit to the vitality, the health and the legacy of our city.”

    Mamdani used a Quran during his swearing-in ceremony, according to his campaign, making him the first Muslim mayor of NYC and the first to be sworn in using a Quran.

    On Thursday afternoon, Mamdani will be sworn in publicly by Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders after opening remarks are delivered at his 1 p.m. inauguration by another progressive ally, Dem. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

    Typically, inauguration tickets are given out to roughly 4,000 people, but the Mamdani transition team says all New Yorkers will be invited to the inauguration and a block party immediately following.

    The 1 p.m. inauguration will take place on the steps of City Hall.

    *A Muslim, a Quran, Letitia James, Bernie, AOC. I love this journey for Christo-fascists. Happy 2026!

  30. Jamie, don’t forget Rabbit Hash, KY

    This Kentucky Town Keeps Electing Dogs As Mayors – Here’s Who Won in 2024

    A Tiny Town with Special Paw-litics
    For over 25 years, the tiny river hamlet of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky has been putting dogs in charge.
    So far, the dog mayors have been paw-sitively inspiring.

    Here’s what you should know about this mayoral election, and how you can vote in this year’s race.
    The Idea Was Born During Boone County’s 200th Anniversary
    Back in 1997, Boone County turned 200 years old.
    The county asked each town to do something special to mark the occasion. Around this time, the Rabbit Hash Historical Society also needed money to fix up an old church.
    They combined the two – the church renovation and anniversary – to create a fundraiser for Rabbit Hash.
    And thus the world’s greatest mayoral election began.

    The Idea Was Born During Boone County’s 200th Anniversary
    Back in 1997, Boone County turned 200 years old.
    The county asked each town to do something special to mark the occasion. Around this time, the Rabbit Hash Historical Society also needed money to fix up an old church.
    They combined the two – the church renovation and anniversary – to create a fundraiser for Rabbit Hash.
    And thus the world’s greatest mayoral election began.

    The Town’s First Canine Mayor Took Office in 1998
    Goofy, a rescued mutt, became the inaugural dog mayor of Rabbit Hash. He’s believed to have fathered over half of the puppies in Rabbit Hash and Boone County.
    The next mayor was a black lab named Junior Cochran who went on a nationwide goodwill tour on a rented tour bus to spread the story of Rabbit Hash.

    A Border Collie Broke the Mayoral Glass Ceiling
    Lucy Lou, a red and white border collie became the first female mayor of Rabbit Hash. Her campaign slogan was “The Bitch You Can Count On.”
    She served as the mayor of Rabbit Hash from 2008 until 2016, when she stepped down to launch an unsuccessful write-in campaign for president of the United States.

    Drinking Alcohol is Encouraged at the Polls
    Feel free to sip on a Salty Dog (Gin or vodka with grapefruit juice and a salt-rimmed glass) while you consider who to vote for.
    According to Bobbi Layne-Kayser of the Rabbit Hash Historical Society, “People are nicer with their dollars when they’ve had a few.”

    Even Puppies Can Run for Office
    The Rabbit Hash electoral committee doesn’t discriminate based on age.
    In 2020, a 6-month-old French Bulldog named Wilbur Beast became the town’s leader. As long as the dog is paw-litically motivated, they can join the mayoral race.

    In Fact, Any Animal Can Run for Mayor in Rabbit Hash
    The competition for dog mayor is quite stiff since it also includes non-dog candidates.
    In 2016, Higgins the Donkey and Bossy the Chicken ran against the winner, pit bull Brynneth Pawltro, and lost.
    Stella the Cat has tried to get elected twice during the 2020 and 2016 elections.
    There was also an unnamed possum somewhere in there. And in 2020, one human also vied for the position against 17 animal candidates.

    It’s a Worldwide Election
    You don’t need to live in Rabbit Hash to participate, so anyone can join the election.
    People as far as Denmark and Japan have cast their ballots for Rabbit Hash’s next canine mayor.
    The only requirement?
    You need to pay $1 to vote, which you can do as many times as you can.

    The Current Mayor is a Bluetick Coonhound
    Boone, a Bluetick Coonhound, swept into office in 2024 with over 14,000 votes.
    He defeated 10 candidates, including a Lab, Dogo Argentino, poodle, and German Shepherd. His amazing campaign slogan had a lot to do with it: “Stop down at noon and have a drink with Boone.”
    Boone’s team raised $9,000 for riverbank protection efforts using equipment, which significantly boosted his campaign.

    The Legends Behind the “Rabbit Hash” Town Name
    Depending on who’s telling the tale, this peculiar name has more origin stories than the very first dog election.
    Some say that the rabbits of a 19th-century doctor were allegedly stolen, and then returned to him as a dish of rabbit hash.
    Another is that river travelers created a rabbit-carrot-whiskey stew that became legendary.
    The most popular one goes back to an 1847 Ohio River flood.
    As the residents (both people and the local rabbits) relocated to higher grounds, someone named Frank joked that they could make “rabbit hash” stew for Christmas dinner.

    It’s Home to the “Best-Preserved Country Store in Kentucky”
    The Rabbit Hash General Store is the heart of this small river town (since 1831). It’s been a warehouse, a post office, and a spot where the neighbors meet and get together.
    In 1989, it was named Kentucky’s most well-kept old country store and added to a special list of historic places.
    A fire nearly destroyed it in 2016, but townspeople worked hard to rebuild it, using as many original parts as they could to keep its National Register eligibility.

    Rabbit Hash is an Amazing Day Trip
    Visiting Rabbit Hash should be on any Kentucky travel bucket list.
    Your #1 stop should be the Rabbit Hash General Store, then try hunting down the mayor and give him a few pats.

    You could also add the Big Bone Lick State Historic Site to your itinerary.

  33. 📢 Editorial Update For The 2026 To-Don’t List: An Important Change in Nomenclature

    Happy New Year Humans!

    To the Community:

    I have been informed by the Trail Mix Editorial Board that, effective immediately, the site’s style guide regarding the 47th Administration has been updated.

    After a careful review of the metrics regarding dignity, decorum, and reality, we have determined that the traditional title no longer fits the job description.

    The New Rule:
    Going forward, the individual residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will be referred to strictly as the “Current Officeholder.”

    The Exception:
    The Board recognizes that many of you have far more colorful phrases for the Current Officeholder. Those are not only permitted in the comments section—they are strongly encouraged.

    This change reflects official policy and is retroactive and permanent until further notice. Please adjust your mental autocorrect accordingly.

    Yours in accuracy,

  34. as wealth concentrates (and it is concentrating!) free and fair elections should be easier and easier for liberals to win, which is why the fascists need to overturn democracy quick!

    It also means messages need to be tailored to lower income populations and if that means dumbing it down, then you need to dumb it down

    The National Guard is planning to train as many as 500 troops per state to serve as part of a rapid-response force focused on civil disturbance missions, according to two U.S. officials.

    The move follows an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in August that called for each state to have National Guard quick reaction forces that could be deployed on short notice for “quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order.”

    Each state will be required to have a quick reaction force ready by the start of next year with most states required to have 500 personnel assigned to the force, the officials said.

    The Military in Law Enforcement Accountability Act aims to limit the involvement of the military in civilian law enforcement, ensuring that military support is only allowed in specific emergency situations and requires Congressional approval for extended involvement.

    This legislation seeks to maintain a clear separation between military and civilian law enforcement functions to protect civil liberties and enhance democratic oversight.

    Mamdani revokes nine Eric Adams executive orders issued after his corruption indictment

    Mamdani said he picked the indictment date as the cutoff because, he suggested, executive actions Adams took after that were tainted.

    “We have to reckon with why so many New Yorkers have turned away from politics over the last few months, the last few years, the last few decades, and that was a date that marked a moment when many New Yorkers decided that politics held nothing for them,” the mayor said.

    Adams’ indictment, which charged him with taking bribes and illegal campaign cash from Turkish government operatives in exchange for political favors, was ultimately dismissed by President Trump’s Justice Department this past spring as part of a controversial deal that many believe left Adams compromised. Adams has maintained he never did anything wrong.

    Asked by the Daily News to elaborate on what specifically made Adams’ post-indictment orders problematic, Mamdani said many of them were “against the interests of working-class people and what they need from their mayor.”

  50. Hmmm, I’d say don’t argue with idiots but it’s an election year so that will never work. Kale, I suppose it’s an acquired taste – in the couple or three occasions I’ve had it – once cooked and once in a salad that I can recall – I haven’t acquired it. I don’t hate it but as greens go it’s near the bottom of the list.

    Was browsing through some old music yesterday and ran across this gem.

  51. to pog & to all you other kale-haters,

    as ms. poppins would say “a little bit of sugar makes the medicine go down.”

    all us chilluns grew up loving greens and other veggies most kids hate because my great cook of a grandmother taught my mother to add that magic ingredient.

    p.s. bacon also helps in some cases.
