Me, waking up this morning, to 2026:

Just bought a personal weather station so I can "know which way the wind blows" and join Weather Underground. No, not *that* Weather Underground. Probably. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather...

The final day

Starting to feel a bit burnt out on certain manwha that seemingly go on forever while getting dumber and moving further away from what hooked me in the first place.

If you happen to be looking for bad redactions in a large set of data files today for some reason, there's an open source tool for that.

This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

how much of internet traffic is just computers yelling at each other even though they've been blocked or otherwise cut off years ago?

All Sundays should begin with this:

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE. www.npr.org/2025/12/20/n...

If anyone reads this - meet me at the top of the tower.

Well this is good news for #a11y Germany rejects Accessibility overlays for EAA compliance and says regulators won’t audit any website that uses an accessibility widget chrisyoong.com/blog/germany...

If you want an excellent video explainer for why we created @nogamesforgenocide.com, People Make Games just made one for you. After watching it, think about whether you might want to pledge to boycott Xbox and then sign up if you do.

the good news is that the media attention and support from an audience has helped Horses do well enough that Santa Ragione has been able to pay all its owed royalties and loans. so it's not in debt. the bad news is it's still not enough to keep the studio together. www.ign.com/articles/hor...

Finished this up after the stream, had so much fun with carra sykes and @ryanselvy.com on @adobelive.bsky.social today! checkout the replay www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbUm...

Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

Finished the first Nonary Game. I really like the structure of a branched narrative that wants you to play through all branches to get the full story, and man are the folks at @spikechunsoftinc.bsky.social good at that. The way they weave the mechanic into the actual story every time is incredible.

Normally when I start a book series I binge it until I reach the end, but when my Libby hold on the audiobook for The Decagon House Murders pinged while I've been working through The Culture series I decided to jump on it. Glad I did but now I'm craving more mystery.

Can we bring back vacations prescribed by doctors? Health insurance should cover it as a preventative.

Stoked to share that True Terrors (@strange.website) and I have turned this riff of a post into "Strangers By Spring", a creative project about escapism, romance, and rebirth: strangersbyspring.com Sometimes it's really good to just sit down and make the things you wish existed in the world.

Wikipedia: The word "joystick" was coined by a French pilot in the early 1900s. Me: That does not really clear things up.

Hello, HERE ARE THE LINKS to get the actual podcast when it comes out on Sunday. For now, if you would like to 'follow' it at your chosen podcast emporium, that really helps. See you soon! podcasts.apple.com/podcast/murd... open.spotify.com/show/2di2tB8... feeds.acast.com/public/shows...

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Fuck you, Ohio. Thankfully I'm just visiting.

I highly recommend @piccalil.li courses to all web developers, and the Black Friday deals are ridiculously good. If you have a continuing education stipend at your job, use it here! piccalil.li/black-friday/

Finally got around to playing The Forgotten City by Modern Storyteller since I was on a time loop game kick. Highly recommended, both for the time mechanic as well as some great historical/mythical fiction. store.steampowered.com/app/874260/T...

A now- infamous review, hysterical and worth a cheer up read

400,000 US troops died fighting against people wearing swastikas in World War II.

"my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

"The dog that didn't bark" is a phrase from a Sherlock Holmes story that means the absence of evidence can be a clue to solving a mystery. The dog's silence indicated that the thief was someone the dog knew, not a stranger. Meaning: what is not said, seen, or done, can be as revealing as what is.

Still playing but highly recommend if you like detective games and supernatural stories.

Time to install SteamOS on my PC and be done with it.
