As 2025 winds to a close, I honestly think that the highlight of my 2025 was just how much the #Bluejays destroyed the Yankees this year.
I was at 6 of the games, and they only lost one of them. It was glorious.
The Canada Day grand slam, and game 2 of the ALDS are particular highlights!

35 is far too young.
Imagine the number of deaths like hers, and younger, that RFK Jr will be responsible for.
My heart breaks the brave women like her are taken so young, and the monstrous men live to rain destruction for profit.

It’s unfathomable that someone would block MSF from anywhere. Blocking aid organizations like MSF is the kind of move you make when you want to hide the horrors.
This should be internationally condemned.

This is the type of news we should all be celebrating. We’re forever locked in the nonsense culture war bullshit that Trump and others like him constantly drum up.
When, real miracles and heroes are around us, doing important work like this.

Apparently, it seems like the entirety of the US foreign policy approach with Russia and China is that Trump believes whatever Putin or Xi tells him.

Anyone have any good New Year book recommendations?
In a bit of a slump. Current book I’m reading, I just couldn’t make it through.
Looking for something uplifting to help keep away the winter doldrums and hopefully kick 2026 off right.

Of all the examples of people dying because somebody inexperienced was in charge, the biggest, most horrifying was Elon Musk and DOGE. No idea what AID did, didn’t care, blew it up and at least 600,000 people died unnecessarily as a consequence. Mass murder out of ignorance and bias. Thanks, Elon.
the very last person who should be prattling on about the dangers of inexperience is the grifting troglodyte who killed millions when he was put in charge of “efficiency”

This movie looks good. I want to see it.
Can anyone who’s seen it tell me how much O’Leary is in it?
I can’t stand that fucking guy, so if he’s in a lot of scenes, I’ll have to pass.

Just stop using Twitter!
Why are people still there? What possible benefit does it provide you.
I’m at the point that if you’re still there I’m going to consider you a Musk supporter.

Something I acknowledge with @agentmagnetar.bsky.social is the project's growth is slower because I'm not using Twitter to promote it, and I feared I'd HAVE to use it just for the better reach.
Then they do shit like this. No progress justifies supporting this. PLEASE get off that hellsite.

Imagine how bad the unredacted Epstein files have to be for the DoJ to issue a statement that references to Trump are fabricated.
There's so much in there that they can't even redact it all, after having nearly a year to do it.

For folks that have been holding on Cyberpunk 2077, there has been a pricing error for the Switch 2 that seems to still be live.
I just picked it up for $24.99 which seems like an amazing deal at that price.

It's not only possible everyone. It's the best path forward.
There is absolutely no way that Musk isn't fucking with Dem candidates on Twitter.
Put the garbage nazi site behind you. It's not helping you staying there. It's only helping Musk and why the fuck would you want to do that?

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.
