Dear Donald Trump: Don't Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out
Dear #DonaldTrump; To paraphrase Canadian musician #ColinJames, it's been four long years. There's been a lot I've had to explain about your tumultuous tenure to my girls, who are now almost-12 and 16 and were nearly-8 and 12 when you started your #WhiteHouse shenanigans. They've been allies of the #LGBTQ community for years, and when they learned that you were trying to pull protections for transgender youth and, in general, trying to make life more challenging for those who were transgender, they were dismayed and were full of questions about why you wouldn't want to keep these individuals safe. I didn't have a good answer.

Betty White Set To Turn 99, World Breathes Sigh Of Relief
Long live #BettyWhite - and she has. The ever-popular nonagenerian continues to trend on Twitter, initially leading those who saw she was trending to worry that perhaps she was ailing. From time to time, this has happened, causing all of us to race to see whether or not she was all right, and certainly, our collective concerns about the television icon's ongoing good health have not been made any better due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Not to worry, though; White is trending because she turns 99 on January 17, 2021.

'Warrior' Alex Trebek Offers Comforting Words To Audience
"We are trying to build a gentler, kinder society, and if we all pitch in just a little bit, we are going to get there." Heartwarming words from Alex Trebek, according to NBC News, at one of his final Jeopardy! tapings. No one knew this would lead into one of the beloved host's final weeks on set, and few actually knew how exhausted the man was as a result of newly returning to his hosting job following surgery. Executive producer Mike Richards said the comments, which were unscripted and came unbidden from Trebek, were surprising.

We All Need A Bit More Dolly Parton In Our Lives
When I was a kid, #DollyParton was someone who was largely a caricature. At least, that's how I remember her in my childhood memories, but then, that could be in part because I felt so much like one myself - gangly and awkward with a mouthful of braces and, of course, acne. Then, there was Dolly, who was of course in her late-30s or early-40s and looking like she could pass for late-20s. Petite, gorgeous, and talented - basically, everything I felt I wasn't at the time - but she made an indelible impression on me even then.

Comedian John Mulaney Enters Rehab For Cocaine, Alcohol Addiction
#JohnMulaney is the latest comedian to acknowledge he has a problem, and he's dealing with it. The former Saturday Night Live writer and prolific comedian reportedly entered a 60-day treatment for alcohol and cocaine abuse just days before Christmas, 2020. Mulaney deserves all the credit in the world for this, even though he was not the one to offer a press release indicating his intentions. Mulaney has been upfront about his past struggles with addiction for some time, and he's choosing to do something about it.

'Wonder Woman 1984' Is Finally Coming, And It's Apparently Amazing!
When the original Wonder Woman bowed in May 2017, I had no idea what to expect, but I was somewhat wary, as the original #WonderWoman series was not at all relatable to me. I didn't get the whole "spin in a few circles and your clothes will turn into your superhero costume," among other things in that #LyndaCarter series. In retrospect, I think it's because I felt at the time there was nothing in that Wonder Woman that I could at all relate to.
