Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of January 4, 2026

by David Himmel

• Remember on Sesame Street, how Bert was, like, really into pigeons? The fuck with that guy? Pigeons. Pigeons!? I think there was a gas leak in that garden apartment of his.

• Finding perfection in someone has to include their imperfections.

• Between my 7-year-old son, my girlfriend, and black people in a movie theater, I honestly don’t know who talks more. Maybe my mom when she’s drinking. Maybe.

• One of the most masculine things a man can do is ask for help. Especially if that help is calling his mommy to take care of him when he’s sick with the flu. (That said, thanks for the help, Mom, and apologies for the previous joke.)

• Taking down the Christmas decorations is just as enjoyable as putting them up. And that, my friends, is the Duality of Man. Or maybe it’s just a Gemini thing.

• HBO Max running commercials is the most objectively offensive thing that has happened to the populace in at least three decades.
