"CUSTOMS FOR THE KID" 2025 - YEAR IN REVIEW customsforthekid.blogspot.com/2025/12/cust...

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

“It’s bad luck Ghorman. We need what's in the ground, and when we're done, there won't be much left to call home."

So the CIA’s cool with this, huh?

ANYWAY, HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRIENDS AND READERS AND FELLOW WEIRDOS *holds up the carcass of 2025 to let 2026 know we are without mercy, so it better be on its best goddamn behavior*

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you wanting to start a new project in the new year but afraid you're gonna suck, heed the words of the ancient texts:

Many of you are psyching yourself up to start that dream project in 2026. AWESOME Just keep in mind that devoting your free time to achieving your dreams is not the same as Hustle Culture. Keep your mind on you and your art and don't fall into the trap of thinking every minute should be monetized.

Speed Racer (Wachowskis, 2008) (amazon prime uhd digital) If you start watching 09:58:10 PM on New Years Eve, that lady will yell "Speed Racer GO" on Midnight as Speed crosses through the explosion at the finish line in the final race.

It needs to be said: "Grunt work" for an artist is *part of your training," and how you can make a living while learning your craft, and how you build a network to make a viable career out of it. Giving those jobs over to AI just kills it all at the root. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
