I don’t know who needs to hear this, but constant, chaotic, unfiltered news and social media can overwhelm the mind—flooding your attention, stirring up emotions, and making it hard to think clearly.

It’s okay to step back and be selective about what you let in. Your mental well-being matters.

Dear people I follow here,

I humbly request you don’t share videos or pics made with generative A.I. slop.

Yes, even if they’re “heeelarious,” because they’re still garbage.

Please and thank you.

Every time you go to post a screenshot from twitter stop and consider - are you just doing it to make yourself feel good with a dunk, and is it worth the extra platforming you are giving the thing you are dunking on, probably with the same joke as 40 other ppl? Is spreading the msg wider GOOD?

Hmmm... I watched 81 fewer movies in 2025 than 2024, but I read 13 more books (including comics), so... I don’t know what that means, #Filmsky, #Booksky, and #Comicsky.

I hope 2026 brings us all some great watching and reading!
