I've been cooped up for a while just grinding work and focusing on family and household stuff a lot. My therapist and boss both reminded me to take some time off for myself, so I'm going to MAGFest for the first time since 2014. I guess that's *technically* 2026 but I bought the pass this year...
Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.
Individual links below but it’s all on itch: danifinn.itch.io

At the end of third grade, when I told my teacher my parents were sending me to another school the following year, she said "No matter where you go, you'll always be a problem."
Yeah, that definitely didn't lodge itself in my brain and contribute to all sorts of other issues.

Already taken down by Paramount but there are backups in the replies. I hope everyone involved in the deportations, human rights violations, and attempted cover-ups gets to experience all of this for themselves someday. I honestly believe Trump will go down in history as the worst US president.
The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

The replies here make me want to die, quite literally. We're at the "nobody knows what AI means anymore" milestone and the dumbest people are going to blindly demonize one of computer science's greatest contributions to the greater scientific community.
Today, we're rolling out a new suite of AI-driven global weather models, including a "first of its kind" hybrid ensemble system! Want to get geeky with us? Come check it out:

This AIGFS forecast in the form of a map, for December 10, 2025, shows the heavy precipitation from an atmospheric river hitting the U.S. Pacific Northwest. AI weather models like this one will protect life and property by improving forecast accuracy and timeliness for events such as the catastrophic flooding that impacted the Northwest.

LRP: the new weather system isn't a fuckin' chatbot.
That is a crazy good use of machine learning that will save a shitload of lives via significantly more accurate weather prediction.

It's one of those days on the timeline where I feel compelled to say this:
May every fascist, xenophobe, and bigot never know peace, never know contentment, and may they rot away from their very core until they are forgotten by all of history.
You're all weak little fucks, and you'll die alone.

In The World Ends With You (DS), the highest ESPer Rank you can earn on your save file is "God" at 65535 points. In the NA/EU version, due to a bug, you earn God rank at 10k points, then go back to the second highest rank "Demon" between 10k and 65534 points, and then you reclaim God at 65535.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.
