Everything I read in 2025 💙📚

MBTI is just astrology for the workplace

the cryptid that lives in my house

I say his gently, but… There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry. Not because its government doesn’t fix it — but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost. That’s the part that sits wrong.

One good thing about me is that my brain works and I don't fall for Orwellian, propaganda nonsense like this. The Israelis are breaking the ceasefire and NBC News is actively running interference to support the Israeli government (as are most other American corporate media outlets).

Anyone who grew up in the rural deep south (and lots of other communities) knows about pawpaws

I'm reading Katabasis by R. F. Kuang on high reccs from several of my bookish friends and I'm about to DNF it. I'm 60%ish of the way thru, I do think it's well written, I just don't like any of these characters to the point it's almost unreadable

"their family tree is a stick"

the hill I am willing to die on is dishwasher>hand washing dishes

Cunk spittin Christmas cheer

Now if we could just get people to view US prisons through the same lens they view CECOT.

no thoughts only mouse

i'm at the epstein coverup, i'm at the CECOT coverup, i'm at the combination epstein CECOT coverup

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

OH MY GOD THEY DID

Please enjoy this handsome gentleman I'm watching for the holidays

I do love and appreciate that whenever I'm having a hard time, my family always thinks of me even it if is to look at me and go man she's having a hard time, how can we make it harder?

Abolish “A.i.”

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Is it too much to ask that AI generated anything should require some sort of label or disclosure indicating it's AI

AI slop recipes have rendered Pinterest largely unusable for finding reliable, actually good recipes

I loved art since I was little but I think my biggest reason at that age was I loved horses and since I couldn't have one the next best thing was to draw them.

I have switched browsers from Firefox to Waterfox, which is a privacy-focused independent fork that has no current plans to pivot to GenAI. So far, I've found functionality almost identical. Give it a try if you want to nope out of forced corporate GenAI adoption. www.waterfox.net

“try to avoid snacking after dinner” okay then I will starve to death in the night. good bye

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

today's hallmark movie watches are ocean's 11 but make it christmas and what if frosty was a smokin hot himbo

i believe people when they say linux has gotten better in the last few years. what i'm skeptical of is that linux Guys have improved. i will not use an OS where i'm at high risk of someone calling me stupid for not liking some aspect of the experience. i must be allowed to hate the computer

I fell down the stairs today what

NYT Pitchbot is cooking today

Winners so far in the hallmark movie lineup are Champagne Problems and Last Christmas but I am about to lose it watching Merry Little Ex-mas. Throw the whole town away these people all suck and Kate deserves better

I'll be watching all the B-rate hallmark holiday movies streaming has to offer so you don't have to

The holidays can be really tough financially so here's a site that compiles information on class action lawsuits & info on how to get settlements, many of which don't require proof of purchase. You won't get rich, but you might recoup enough for lunch here & there. www.classaction.org/settlements

Also, of course, the State Department changing typefaces for reasons that boil down to "fuck accessibility" is both utterly in line with the overt bigotry of this administration and a signal indicator of how unserious these people are, it doesn't matter what typeface you use when you're a joke

Surely this will lower the price of groceries

An important message

billionaires could amass all the fame, power, and wealth in the world and it will never fill the part of them that is empty

The press *wants* this to be a sex scandal so that they can focus on the designated "wh*re", Olivia Nuzzi, as the villain. It's not a sex scandal and Olivia Nuzzi is not the real villain. The scandal is that the culture of US journalism is corrupt to the core and this is just one example of it.

If you go look at her twitter, nuzzi was (is??) supported by A LOT in the DC press corps We need to have serious conversations about 1/ nuzzi was never, ever a “genius” or “unusually talented writer”, 2/ the DC press corps is highly problematic

About to be so filled with rage I do something crazy like go out and get a masters degree or start a non-profit just for spite

In my villain era and it's just me saying "no" and also reading Robert Greene books

lot of folks suddenly aghast at America doing shit it has *always done* just because it's Donald Trump doing it

"Uh, so what does that mean?" I'm an administrative professional. It means I do everything, Jerry.

reverse advent calendar where I scream a little scream into each tiny box and close it up tight

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

Art in its purest form is simply an act of creation. AI images can't be art because there is no creation involved. All you've effectively done is have a sophisticated algorithm run a complicated math problem for you, at the expense of the environment and your ability to think creatively no less.

Your Black Friday reminder that Amazon... -Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

i have never been nostalgic for the past before i was born and reading history only reinforces this. running water is good. not losing children to preventable diseases is good. human beings not being property is good.

lots of praise being heaped on the thanksgiving chefs today, and that’s great. totally deserving. but I don’t want to lose sight of the true unsung heroes of thanksgiving dinner. those of us brave enough to step up and wash dishes

Aaaaaaaand we're back. youtu.be/hybL-GJov7M
