It’s the first Sunday of 2025, so it’s time for the first “picdump” of 2025! This is where I post the memes, pictures, and cartoons floating around the internet that I found interesting or relevant this week. Share and enjoy!
For the past eight years, my sister, Eileen de Villa has been Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health, and yesterday was her last day on the job. She’s done a lot of great work for the city where we grew up, and is best known for defining Toronto’s swift and decisive response to COVID-19, and she’s my hero for having taken on that difficult task.
Those of you from Toronto and area may remember the cover article from the May issue of Toronto Life:
She announced that she would step down from her position at the end of 2024, where she’ll take some time off, travel with Mom (I hope to join some of those travels as well), and decide what to do next. With what she’s accomplished, she’ll be able to write her own ticket for the next step in her career, whatever it may be.
Here’s her farewell message to the city of Toronto:
Congratulations, Eileen, and well done!

The “Home Alone” Yule Log
How did I not know about the Joe Pesci Home Alone yule log stream until now? This version’s got 24/7 music, so you can put it on your TV as “video wallpaper” for your Christmas dinner or holiday vibes.
I’m enjoying exotic-to-me American cuisine (being Asian, I had a mashed-potato-deprived childhood) at Christmas dinner at the in-laws’ place, but that’s not stopping me from sharing a special holiday picdump to enjoy. Have a happy and safe holiday, no matter what you celebrate!
