► 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). Glassdoor.com:  Fatigue. According to the job search site, "fatigue" was chosen because workers are tired. Duh..no shit. Collins Dictionary: Vibe Coding . This is defined as, "the use of natural language prompts to instruct AI to write computer code instead of writing it from scratch". In other words, lazy. Oxford Diction...

  Photo: Drea de Matteo / Only Fans Drea de Matteo announced she has joined Only Fans. For $15.00 / a month viewers can get an eye full of whatever she's selling. Drea joins the roster of other Z-list celebs including Bella Thorne, Coco Austin, Iggy Azalea, Denise Richards, and Carmen Electra who are taking it all off for an easy paycheck.

The whole thing is like a scene from The Sopranos. Or a Terry Richardson photo shoot. Ick. She would fit right in as one of the Bada...

  First of, I had no idea a reboot /sequel was in the works to the original 1973 The Exorcist, let alone a trilogy. Since the original movie was released almost 50 years ago, there has been a crapload of awful sequels and even a TV series made and all of them have failed miserably. So why the heck does Hollywood think rebooting a classic and then to add insult to injury, make it a trilogy is a good idea? Do Hollywood execs think people will be clamoring to see this garbage? Answer: Hollywood doesn't have any integrity. They keep tampering with the classics because studios are lazy. The movie industry has turned into an assembly line of cheap goods. Rant over. The Exorcist: Believer is a rebootish sequel to the original 1973 movie that starred Ellen Burnstyn, Linda Blair, and Max Von Sydow.  In this new sequel, Ellen Burnstyn reprises her role as the mom to Linda Blair's character of Regan, the daughter who became possessed by a demon. BTW, Linda Blair is not in this mess. The ...
