7. Excellent shorter fiction. In addition to the above, some of my favorite books this year were novellas. Audition for the Fox, Cinder House, Automatic Noodle, What Stalks the Deep, The Summer War, The River Has Roots. All absolutely fantastic.

6. Getting to hear @nghivo.bsky.social speak about Don't Sleep With the Dead (the book is also a joy) on her book tour. She warned us she would just start listing animal facts if no one asked questions. It was an amazing tactic for getting an audience to get over the fear of asking something dumb.

Defiant Jazz and the Department of Choreography and Merriment. Watched Severance while we had Apple TV and while the show is bananas, I enjoyed both Mr. Milchuck music sequences immensely.

3. Murderbot TV show! It was wonderful to see them strike so many of the right comedic notes. Also, the delightfully cringe wardrobe for every Preservation character.
4. Ticket to Ride. @charleskorb.bsky.social and I played this probably more than any other game this year across iterations.

Starting a thread of things that brought me nerdy joy in 2025, inspired by the great list at Reactor.
1. Introducing my kid to nerdy things! He went to his first comicon this year (dresses as Green Goblin) and we showed him Star Wars for the first time.
2. Going to my first Worldcon!

Logan with your claws so bright
Won't you help me fight Magneto tonight?
Then the X-Men won the battle
And they shouted out yippee,
Then they all got on the Blackbird
And partied hard as could be!

Wolverine the Grumpy X-Man
Had some very shiny claws
And if you ever sass him
He might just cut off your jaws
All of the other X-Men
Used to say 'hey Logan, what's your deal?'
He never wanted to be an X-Man
It didn't have any appeal
Then one big, big battle day
Professor X came to say
Had some very shiny claws
And if you ever sass him
He might just cut off your jaws

Today has been tough, so here for the record are the lyrics of the "X-Men song" I sing my son.

You know Jean Grey, and Cyclops, and Storm, and Rogue.
You know Gambit, and Iceman, and Beast, and Toad.
But do you recall...
The most famous X-Man of allll
