There’s a Tawny Owl in the trees behind our house. We first heard it in 2024, and it keeps returning. This week, we heard a duet; two owls! We’ve been trying to spot them with our binoculars, but no luck just yet. Here’s a picture of @meganpearson.bsky.social, at night, trying with all her might.

Amen.

David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.

How did Liverpool not finish this deal after those shenanigans in the previous window? What have I missed? #LFC www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Five to six hours in Figma, undisturbed, playing Earl Sweatshirt on a great pair of headphones. 10/10 workday.

I miss hanging out on forums now and again. Good old phpBB.

Thinking idly about how there was a time in the past where the Grok CSAM scandal would lead to a huge exodus off X to Bluesky and elsewhere but how now everyone who cared about such things has already left

2025 was a bit of a transitional year for me. As of today, I'm joining Enode full-time, dedicating the next chapter in my career to the energy transition. www.daniel.pizza/journal/next...

Last day of the Christmas break.

you’re right! it feels mostly awful to Go Online™, these days. the internet in a sad state, for reason after reason after reason. but there is a way to fix it; to trade the voidful howling for a quiet & joyful song. here’s how to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.

I don’t normally write posts like these, but I had fun with this. These are the albums I kept gravitating towards in 2025 💿 → www.daniel.pizza/journal/2025...

First time this has happened to me, I think, and I’ll say there are few things more exciting than finishing reading a book on NYE, so you can start a new one on January 1st. The possibilities!

We did a four-hour walk.

*uses AllTrails literally once*

Because no one asked for this, last night I started working on a new page on my website that lists every book I've read in the past years. I used to log these on various social/book-ish websites, and decided to just plonk everything on my own website from here on out. It'll go back to 2020-ish.

Decently consistent 🏃‍♂️
