"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

I need an IV drip of terrible influencers being boxed back into the Stone Age, please and thank you

Finally ordered a sectional sofa for my new home (in no small part because the loveseat I have is caving in...), please clap

Dr. Goldberg, I see yours & raise you mine! The number 1 movie when you were ten years old will define your 2026

www.cnn.com/2025/12/19/s... Saturday at 7:30 EST we go duck hunting... #JMU #Dukes

Going to learn how to remove carpet by myself bc I am turning my basement room into a home studio in 2026 come hell or high water (and I have spent more money than I wanted on window replacement so I need to do all future projects on the cheap)

I think Chloe Zhao's Hamnet is made for the female gaze, because that was utterly beautiful and devastating in equal measure - like, everyone should get an Oscar or Globe nom...

This corporate EOY is feeling very different than in years past because NO ONE is doing the "table 'til next year/circle back in the New Year/reconvene in January" and actually are doing significant work a week before Christmas...

Avoiding going home for Xmas until Monday AM, so I'm seeing all the movies at once - Hamnet, Sentimental Value, and maybe last second catching Rental Family

People who put little antlers on their cars: we aren’t stupid, we can still tell they are cars

Do I buy last minute Nutcracker tickets? Haven't seen a dance performance yet this year and it's one of the best (plus Tchaikovsky's score fucking SLAPS)

Could not agree more, regretfully. What an awful 48 hours of abject violence in the world from Providence to Bondi to now L.A. - such a loss, I've adored Reiner's movies since I was young

I am so tired with very cold, and very wet weather - I am *ready* for them to stop being mutually exclusive and give me some damn snow ❄️

HD employee in a full Grinch costume, mask and all, plus the uniform hi-vis vest at the Returns Counter was NOT what I was expecting during my errand run

I don't recommend getting the largest windows in your home replaced on the coldest days of the winter thus far, but sitting in your living room and not feeling an westerly breeze indoors is a nice after-effect

Garamond is the best font but I’m not willing to die on this hill. Font wars can be deadly, as we know from the critically-acclaimed novel and feature film All Quiet on the Western Font.

Things are starting to look up...

Gonna find out what dorm that Mergott is in and send him flowers

If you are in Durham and just heard a high pitched yell that broke a glass, I'm not sorry - my undergrad alma mater just forced a game-clinching fumble to a TD in the Sun Belt Champion game

I know we're not supposed to 'win' at medical appointments but I got a "great adherence to treatment, happily received provider recommendations" comment in my visit notes today so...

granite counters and stainless steel are a ploy by Big Spray to get you to buy more sprays

Home in time to catch some of the JMU v Coastal Carolina game, LFG and GO DUUUUKESSSS 💜💛

Sat for: Wake Up Dead Man (Knives Out 3)

My laptop is defective… it has two b’s on the keyboard.

Girl-dinner-style lunch because I am buried in end-of-year annual review/metrics updates thanks to my Corporate Overlords

Finding new little Easter eggs in Materialists - watching it again, but hopefully the glass of vinho tinto forestalls the misty eyes from last time

We had 69. The new generation only has 67. Shrinkflation is no joke.

I have become allergic to my contact lenses (didn't even know that was a thing!) so excuse me while I have a little private tantrum about having to wear my glasses FT for the next 3 weeks and potentially have to switch contact types to the expensive dailies 😭

GGD on TDS, LFG

i was making up the guest room for a friend who’s crashing with us tn and i got the fitted sheet on the bed perfectly in one try. didn’t even have to like examine it to align it properly or anything. the lesson here, of course, is never think about anything before you do it

Been cold AF all day, so I'm nearly at the breaking point of "time to truly test out my new home's water heater capacity & the glaze on my bath tub"

My brain says "go out, it's a Saturday night" but my body says "throw on your favorite groutfit & The Diplomat"

At the point in the year that I cannot come up with unique plans for what I'm eating next week anymore, so I'm just taking ideas from all the food items mentioned in the last few novels I've read

I just ✨love✨ when the recycling/trash folks hit the wrong button on the truck's compactor so a glass bottle falls out & breaks at the foot of my driveway, and leaves it for me to clean up. This is the quality public service I pay taxes for!

listen, the parking situation in paradise was unworkable. something had to be done.

One of my comfort movies is on, Singin' in the Rain, immediate click

Met another neighbor, made my favorite stir fry, fixed my car (new filters, aired up tires to winter PSI), and now watching Road House

My feed right now

I know it's really fall/winter when my car's TPMS light goes on for the first time (hoping it's just the cold temp, given she was fine earlier when I left the house)

Re-downloaded Hinge/Bumble, searched in earnest for 45 minutes, got insanely frustrated, jettisoned all the apps again. Rinse/repeat in another 90 days?

Every day I understand the Butlerian Jihad more and more

When they inevitably don't renew the ACA subsidies, I sarcastically look forward to all the industry med folks crying about how our sales tanked because NO ONE is getting basic medical care unless it's an emergency

Haven't been this happy in a while to be on the couch on a Saturday night

Mamdani is going to implement Shalimar law. It will smell like an intense citrusy, floral amber with hints of vanilla and sandalwood.

Slept for nine hours, up in time to make a nice breakfast & tea, sat for Sunderland v Arsenal - what a lovely Saturday so far
