A year ago today I beat Batman Returns on NES, and the SNES game seemed like a good Christmas/winter game to revisit over the last few days. I finally finished it for the first time, but I had to swallow my pride and play it on Easy with 7 lives. Even so it was close! It's tough but fun. #JustBeatIt

If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in a very dumb annual tradition and start 2026 off on the right hoof.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

We need to end this bullshit legal protection for rousting anyone anywhere 100 miles from a "port of entry" and require them to have a specific warrant for a person who's committed a felony. And that person gets a real trial.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Trying to revive a Christmas tradition. The 11-year-old didn't remember most of the Chipmunks Christmas special, but wanted to watch (instead of doing chores). The 3-year-old bailed for a few minutes but came back and seemed to enjoy it. 😅

We recently preserved and shared a source code snapshot of the lost Police Academy game! Which is great, except it's in a pretty bad state.
I'm hoping there's enough to "revert" back to its trade show demo. Any interest in helping?

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.
