  ► Various dictionary companies and platforms got together at their respective watering holes to reflect on 2025 and decide on the one word their organization selected that, "culture watchers say encapsulate the zeitgeist of 2025".  Without further adieu, this is what each org selected as their winner, followed by mine.  Read More   Image: writerofwordsetc.substack.com Merriam Webster Dictionary:  Slop. The fine folks at MW define it as "digital content of poor quality usually produced by AI".  In the old days, slop was the word I would use to describe Tuesday's lunch at my elementary school cafeteria (shit on a shingle).

Melissa Joan Hart shared this "expectation vs reality" post on her instagram this week, admitting she was duped by an AI ad for a dress. The dress allegedly retails for $34.99 and is listed as 95% cotton and 5% nylon. Uh huh. Hart managed to DIY her own "ugly" dress and I think it looks cute! Certainly better than the mess she thought she was ordering. Celebrities: they're just like us!  Sources: Yahoo news, Melissa Joan Hart on instagram

     ► Bianca Censori (30), better known as Kanye's nekkid mannequin, is debuting a line of jewellery that is as offensive as her attire. Bianca drew inspiration from OBGYN exam tools for the first two pieces she's introducing. The Scalpel Bracelet ($2,100) was, "inspired by the precision of a scalpel, this bracelet sits close to the wrist with a structured minimal profile and a mirror finish".  The Speculum Cuff  ($2,250) is "a narrow sterling-silver cuff with clean, curved edges and a mirrored finish. The form is inspired by the functional contours of a medical speculum.” Being married to Kanye has resulted in her spending a lot of time at a doctor's office. That's the only explanation I can think of. These baubles belong in a BOGO bin at Spencer Gifts. Some people are saying she ripped off an Elsa Peretti design, which Tiffany's has been selling for decades.   Read More Comment: When Bianca skidded into the scene and latched her carbide to Mount K...

Greetings, Manor Hors! Periodically, "The Roving Pecker" presents urgent missives from filthy esteemed guest writers. Today's chilling entry is from Raincoaster! It's your lucky day...but maybe not Toby Crooke's. He's dead, you see. Although inert from the opening of the story, he's the central and titular character of J. Sheridan Le Fanu 's complex, charming, and chilling Christmas ghost story, "The Dead Sexton." Le Fanu's lesbian vampire tale, "Carmilla," helped inspire Bram Stoker's "Dracula," and is certainly responsible for the great lashings of sex appeal in most of the Dracula legacy. His style is what people think of as the "classical" ghost story, because he is one of the foundational authors of modern horror. The reason it feels familiar is that every horror author you've ever read has been influenced by him. Naturally, there's a sexy, supernatural, and mesmerizing character in this sto...

Greetings music sloots, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday! As we near the winter holidays, I think back to the year we've all had - and how we all need a break from the madness. For me, vocal jazz always does the trick. So what do we need tonight? We need DJ Li'l Scratch, who'll be cranking tunes at the Manor's own "Moist Muffin Lounge and Dinette." What will he be playing? A gal you may not have heard of, and I bet'cha you'll take her for granted once you listen to her - or at least the first time around. Some things sneak up on you. Confused? I'll explain. When I first played Pam Garner's 1960 LP, "Pam Sings Ballads For Broken Hearts," I was contemplating the herculean effort it might take to rearrange and scrub my work station (contemplation is such hard work!). The LP ended and I thought, "Meh, Pam's okay." My desk remained a mess. But a day later, while preparing chicken breasts and realizing that...

Today's OP is a SQ for all you HO HO HOs : Which Christmas movie character are you inviting to your Christmas party? For me, it's definitely Frosty the Snowman. One of the hardest things about hosting a party is getting everyone to GTFOH when it's over. But with Frosty, room temperature does the job for you! Macabre? Yes, but nothing a few decorative holiday hand towels can't handle 💅 Who's coming to your Christmas party, hors?

Jacob Elordi is now famous enough that we feel the need to ask him his opinion on things like AI. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the Frankenstein and Euphoria actor said that he has no tolerance for the technology. "It's just so fucking boring...I would much rather kiss on the beach, and read a novel, and be sunburnt." Um yeah, I think most of us would. It seems Elordi was trying to convey his fatigue about the constant conversation being had about AI and its implications. But this response sounds like something a modern-day philosopher like Jaden Smith would say. Perhaps we should just stick with asking him about his workout routine and how Olivia Jade's rowing career is going. Source: Vanity Fair
