Reintro:
• I was invalidname on Twitter, left 2 yrs ago.
• People followed me there b/c I wrote tech books for macOS/iOS. I work @ 🍏 now, so I can’t post about secret work stuff.
• Seems like I’m mostly engaging with anime people here. Tech on Mastodon, and replies only on Threads.

If anyone else out there in anime/game fandom follows the #MuvLuv franchise, put your drink down before you read this. Because when you’re done, you’re gonna need something a lot stronger.

It’s charitable giving day, which means I have to call my bank to unfreeze my debit card, because of course the most suspicious thing in the world is donating to charitable causes. Yeah, those Russian hackers give lots of money to trans kids and immigration lawyers, sure.

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.

For the record: when that day finally happens, I will not be blasting Celebration by Kool and the Gang or Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. It's going to be Ewok Celebration. I will not accept this Victory Celebration substitution; yet another reason why I don't own the Star Wars original films on BluRay
"Ewok Celebration", aka "Yub Nub" (which means "Freedom", take note Aretha), was replaced by "Victory Celebration" in the 1997 Special Edition of Return of the Jedi. It was written by John Williams, with lyrics by Joseph Williams, translated into Ewokese by Ben Burtt.

The last couple grafs here also remind me why Tim Walz calling these guys “weird” worked so well. When you see Samuel Alito flying the flag upside down outside his vacation home because… well, I don’t why, maybe because Biden wanted to forgive student debt or install EV chargers… they just seem nuts

In 2026, let's bring back casually enjoying things instead of having any fandom need to be both immersive and a moral statement.

Because people are too dumb to use podcast client apps. A YouTube subscription is as much as they can handle.
Pivot to video was bullshit the first time why are we replicating it.
‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens

Guys, if you have the means to do so, start reading up on a law degree and work towards specializing towards contract and personal injury, because it's about to be a golden age for you all as we finally invent an infinite money printing machine for lawyers.
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

I re-organized the collector’s set boxes in the PlayStation Nook to find a spot for the enormous Final Fantasy Tactics box (slightly larger than Square Enix’s “NieR: Replicant“ box, and that’s saying something).

This is bizarre to me. You can get the book “Dungeon Crawler Carl” on iBooks as an audiobook, or in French/Spanish/Italian/German, but you can’t buy the regular eBook in English. Same goes for B&N Nook. But you can get it on Kindle. Did Amazon pay for some kind of exclusive? Annoying, at any rate.

I got my son a Switch 2 for Christmas, and it turned out he asked my mom for a digital projector, and these gifts have merged, Voltron like, into the kids now playing Mario Cart eight feet wide on the living room wall. Which is very festive.

Collectively, this is very much an “until then we’ll have to muddle through somehow” year as opposed to a “hang a shining star upon the highest bough” year. But we will muddle through together. Merry Christmas, everyone.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, swore by his life and his love of it never to live for the sake of another man, nor ask another to live for his.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, where the shadows lie, One Tim to rule them all, One Tim to find them, One Tim to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, blew up the Death Star.
