Bringing my 2025 energy straight into 2026

Sinners is a great movie because it contains the hidden truth that when the devil arrives he will be riverdancing.

So, the frog stopped the National Guard from coming to Portland, along with astute lawsuits by Oregon. Only part of what's happening, but hard to understate how fundamentally the Portland Frog changed perceptions and helped morale. Humor, imagination, courage, savvy.

have i ever said how much i love Waffle House?

Apparently Devon Toews' wife is due to have a baby in February. Not unsurprisingly, he says he's not leaving her side until after the birth. (Probably shouldn't be) surprisingly, Hockey Canada didn't think this would be an issue, and hasn't spoken to him about it.

“In a year when ‘diversity’ was under assault, the Canadian romance series about gay hockey players proved how wrong-headed the attacks were even when it comes to dollars and sense.” www.signorile.com/p/how-heated...

While I appreciate the women writing threads about M/M romance, I would love it if y'all stopped describing these readers and authors as "women (and women-adjacent)". Nonbinary folks aren't woman-adjacent or woman-lite. It's a huge umbrella with a lot of variation. We are our own thing.

Since I dumped some really bad news on y'all I wanna tell you about the other side of social media. It's children of anti-vaxxers turning 18 and filming themselves getting vaxxed.

oh hey I just read the greatest work of fiction of the decade archiveofourown.org/works/73396436

Let's talk about the history of champagne bottles, the myth of Dom Pérignon & how England invented modern champagne. Dom Pierre Pérignon was a French Benedictine monk (1638-1715) who influenced French viticulture. And, ironically for someone associated with it, he tried to PREVENT champagne.

okay let's do a thread of FUN ONLY, no-stress, low-stakes New Year's Resolutions that are designed not to make you become a Better™️ Person™️ but purely to increase the amount of happiness in your life in 2026 I'm going to learn Polish folk embroidery and I want to DM at least a one-shot of something

Glyer has a history of "showing poor judgement," stirring up drama, and then acting bewildered by the idea that he has any responsibility for what he publishes. His comment section is often a cesspit that he deigns to moderate only when it suits him.

David promised me (on here) a short, interesting history and delivered. Just a wonderful little book to get a modern perspective on Carolingian court dynamics.

Technology is not neutral. Your bricks are not neutral. The way you stand, if you can stand. The posture you use when you take a shit is not neutral (Do you sit, or squat? Do you wash or wipe? Do you use your dominant hand?) Biases and values. Same with what you eat and drink, and how it's made.

Humans respond well to ritual. Find space for something you do special-like.

Depiction in real time the speed of making a post, someone liking and reposting it, and a sealion jumping in replies to kill the vibe

Most unexpected Rickroll ever.

These guys are great, and watching them get sucked in one episode at a time is a delight.

Fell into an ADHD haze and cleaned out three doom boxes that've been following me around for at least two moves. Bonus—found cash that'd been a wedding gift tucked into that shitty Love Languages book. Did not, however, find the single piece of paper I'd been looking for.

*adjusts glasses* Your honor, human mortality, like the proverbial fire, was not ignited by my clients.

it's so upsetting to pause Sarah Marshall's podcast about the Satanic Panic to come inhere and see this screenshot.

i... i just.... wow. these are always great year-end lists, but wow.

Continuing on a theme. A wild herd at the ODR. Rink not rank ooops.

This turned out to be such a lovely life story, including all of the money raised for local charities.

Some of y'all need to look up Communal/Altruistic narcissism because holy shit folks.

Cold people -- verifieds and unverifieds -- 3 feet of space between you and the heater, please.

For my last post of 2025, here's a look at a network of websites and social media accounts hawking #resistance- themed garments, frequently with slogans regarding U.S. National Parks. As it turns out, the websites in question are likely operated from China. www.conspirator0.com/p/how-not-to...
