Christmas is hard for many. The years roll, the ghosts at the table increase. We’re haunted by the absence of voices, of laughter engines who drank and ate with us. This can be day of remembrance rituals. For what it’s worth, Hooklanders near and far are in my candles today. Be gentle on yourselves.

I feel it is important that we honor British film pioneer George Albert Smith. Yes, he helped pioneer editing, closeups, science fiction films, etc. but I think we can all agree that his greatest contribution was as an early trailblazer in the Cat Video genre.

Slo-mo Xmas sno in New Scotland

I used an AI for this obviously, but it's pretty nice Yuletide Beyond the Moon’s Pale Glow- Upon the vaulted dome of distant night, Where Eagle sails through voids of ghostly chill, A Christmas spark ignites the starry light, Though ’round the moon no fir trees deck the hill.

This is my kind of nostalgic holiday programming: two and a half hours of QVC shopping from the early 90s. Why yes, I do need the Charles Dickens 3-pc tea set that looks like little Tudor houses for only $19 plus $5.22 shipping & handling.

My function as an artist is not to be popular, or even understood, but simply to be enjoyed.

MAGA: Sweden is in the midst of civil war, on the cusp of civilisational erasure Swedes: on your paid holiday, please borrow some free skates so you can enjoy our public rink in the middle of the idyllic square in the heart of our walkable city.

All I’m saying is that if Kamala Harris had won, we could afford groceries and health insurance, we wouldn’t be arresting people simply because they’re Black or Brown, and we wouldn’t be doing batcrap crazy stuff like threatening Greenland

the proximate reason i post here — beyond the fact that i like a lot of you and enjoy reading your thoughts and jokes and observations — is that this is a non-algorithmic platform where people share lots of stuff and people read what is shared. that's still valuable even if it doesn't "influence!"

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

the thing with "conservative ideals" is it means literally nothing to 99% of republicans, it's just whatever moral panic you want to be obsessive about at that particular moment, big or small. trying to do moral majority stuff still to a side so committed to amorality doesn't make any sense.

Miki Berenyi has this Gibson Firebird that her guitar tech pleads with her not to take on the road lest it be damaged. She treats it as a tool, and it's purpose is to speak notes to the world. She's right, instruments are to be played, model kits aren't made to sit on the shelf unbuilt,
