Fun: The energy crackling through the crowd in the portal sequence/hammer sequence in the finale of ENDGAME. Not Fun: A dude slapped his crying little kid in the last of three hours of Jackson’s KING KONG. Kong on ice was tracked to that dude getting his from a crowd who beat him at the exit sign.

the degenerate giggling got proportionately louder the further I got through this piece

Listened to a news show where the podcast host is the EIC is the publisher. They touched on a charged topic for the host, who went on a pretty long monologue, but the guest’s dissent had audible mismatched cuts. I’m not happy about it, but stopping my subscription remains the right call.

I thought I was okay with my near-fatal hospital stay before Thanksgiving. But there is a way my kids say “daddy”—appreciative, or sleepy, or just with warmth—that makes me more scared of the future than any moment I was hooked up to IVs.

The first was brilliant, and it -is- gift-giving season…

Y’know not everybody needs every feature. I don’t need threaded posts. They’re a force multiplier for being an idiot. Just made a long thread and after posting realized the answer to my philosophical question was likelier than not “someone already answered it because everyone is smarter than me.”

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Hey folks! One of our amazing art challenge hosts is facing a financial crisis and I've organized a GoFundMe for them. If you could even donate $5 or $10, it would really help out. Thank you!

left the house to run some errands yesterday for the first time since hospitalization last week. i also went to my 11yo's chorus recital, which was great. but i did too much, too early, and i'm paying for it today. i hope i haven't set my recovery back too much. couch day for me.

According to Apple Music @pelicansong.bsky.social was my top artist and their new album FLICKERING RESONANCE was my number one of 2025 which seems right because they rule and it was super dope

turns out it’s not a good idea to watch PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH in the same week you almost died

"Glen had been an obsessive sleuth, trolling through piles of musical fragments and finished pieces lurking on piles of tapes — of different formats through the decades."

in the hospital for a blood clot near my liver. i’m ok. take care of yourselves, friends.

is this funny or is it because I’m very physically ill there are surprisingly few Pokémon with names like Algernon

just submitted my choices for the first show I've ever juried. it's an honor to get to do it, and to see the work people have submitted, and I thought about each piece seriously and how it related to the theme, but I feel bad about each piece I didn't pick because I am soft inside.

This is definitely not my child repeating something I say a lot. INT. LIVING ROOM Jean: Why aren’t you wearing clothes 7yo: BECOME UNGOVERNABLE! Clothes are governable. 11yo: Look what this era has brought us.

My neighbors just up the street from us own A-squared pizza in Charlottesville, and their youngest was recently diagnosed with leukemia. Their family is really nice, and this is a huge bummer right before the holidays. A GoFundMe has been set up for the family to help with everything.

link only, because the art's got an explicit tag in defiance of reason. The Neon Church #14, "Yourself," a story about thankless jobs, alienation, depression, parasitizing loneliness, practicing sounding like the old you, and none of it is metaphorical. theneon.church/issues/14-yo...

She forgot to say if you're going to the woods for any reason, put on some orange please.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

hard to say if this is standard spam email nonsense or artisinal LLM nonsense, but i'm especially taken by "Crew Circulated You"

change one letter, ruin a candy: M & A’s

Had an odd moment of connection just now. I had to cobble something together, and out of a sea of blog posts the one that was most useful was written by someone that lives here in my town. It’s a coincidence. But there would have been nothing, if a person hadn’t written it.

“Should I Use Generative AI in my Teaching?” A flow chart. (Spoiler: the answer is probably no, because teaching relies on human connection and there are almost always better strategies that will lead to a deeper learning experience for students than using AI in the classroom or to prep materials.)

If you haven’t bought it yet, buy it now.

20th college reunion this weekend. It was small, which I expected, I’d only known one person when we were in school. I was the only English major there, the only artist. One person said “Are you using your degree?” The rest, “I wish I’d let myself take art and lit and philosophy back then.”

Sat next to my 6yo and drew after picking him up from school. Been a long time since I drew anything so I picked something simple to shake the dust off. It was really great to draw with him.

A little on the nose

Wow, they’re adapting Charles Burns’ BLACK HOLE ah shit it’s Netflix.
