I got asked if I celebrate xmas. Used to. Not so much now. We are a multi-faith family, but have a Christian shortage. Ironically, I still say "merry Christmas" more than "Happy Holidays". So in the War on Christmas, I guess I sided with Christians, against atheists. A traitor of sorts.

I was not happy that Clinton was a slut. I was not happy about what he did with Lewinsky. At the same time, I was making jokes about it, and not raging mad about it. These photos? Clinton's not President anymore. He could be an old bi man feeding his pork sword to Trump. Doesn't affect me.

When it rains, feel free to pee outside, because the pee smells will wash away immediately.

“The US federal regime is now trying to make the case that zines are criminal—viewing even the possession of them as a way to subvert fascism, which in different times, would traditionally have been seen as a good, uncontentious thing.” #FreeDes mini zine: freedes.net/wp-content/u...

We need autonomous drones that will fly to surveillance cameras and spray paint the lens.

I spent time doomscrolling about the Epstein Files, and the allegations are stunning, but also not stunning. It's the ugly underside of patriarchy and misogyny. I was also reading about some incel-ish topics, mainly Racial Castration by David Eng.

Going to read howwestopwar.com

SO I'm reading this about Charlie Chan, and OMG, the people don't get it. They are not realizing it's a stereotype, and the reason why there was protest wasn't just the corniness of Charlie Chan in the past, but the anger against Hollywood circa 2000. animesuperhero.com/forums/threa...

All claims of original thought, of discovery, are suspect.

Yes. Jack London was a racist elitist who looked down on Black people. This article ignores that he also hates Chinese. www.counterpunch.org/2025/12/19/j...

What if we had a SoCal Adobe Plan, where older suburban houses would be replaced with 1 or 2 adobe/cob houses? This could increase housing density, reduce energy costs, lengthen house life (into centuries), use up lawn space (and thus, reduce water use)...

I'm so happy to see they are turning golf courses into neighborhoods. Residents push back against housing development in Woodland Hills – NBC Los Angeles share.google/aMAHaFNY3A2T...

Did a search for Catherine Liu and Vivek Chibber, and saw this author. On my to read list. jacobin.com/author/nived...

If you're not interested in late 19th to 20th century American elite intellectual liberalism and the tendency toward anti-intellectualism, this podcast might get you interested. Varn Vlog interviews Daniel Tutt, both from a radical socialist perspective. varnvlog.buzzsprout.com/1777565/epis...

Replacing Calibri with Times New Roman, because Calibri was too accommodating for people with disabilities. Unreal. What kind of bugs is TNR isn't even an "old" face. It was commissioned in 1931 by The Times in the UK. This was contemporary with other new faces like Gill Sans.

A couple more. I'm not that happy with these, but they still look cool to me.

My liberal snowflake.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett announces her campaign for U.S. Senate for Texas with an ad that uses Trump’s own words against her.

Jasmine Crockett uses Trump insults to launch her campaign! I am so here for it!🙌🏾

In the Sun Valley neighborhood of Los Angeles, ICE and CBP goons were observed chasing individuals and abducting them into unmarked cars without license plates. 12/8/25

Just checked www.paperbackswap.com It's been redesigned, and looks great. It's a site where you can get books for "free", if you pay postage and a small swap fee.

I'm factory resetting my phone. The scariest part is dealing with Authy. I have a backup on another phone, but it requires me to enter a backup password, which I lost. So I need to re-establish 2FA for some sites. I feel like less-password login leaves me with more passwords.

Too slow? The future will be very slow, once self-driving cars are more numerous. The era of speed will come to an end. We will be in the era of chilling out, lying down, reading a book, and waiting for the car to get us there.

CA, AG, Rob Bonta, just announced a new portal for people to report ICE activity, so they can protect illegal immigrants from being detained and 'prosecute ICE goons. Our job at the DOJ is simple: To safeguard the rights of everyone that calls this state home, no matter their background or status.

This is wild. If these boats were actually drug smugglers, their customer base is people like Hegseth: media figures, wealthy people, and the power-mad. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
