This from @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's Welcome to Hell World newsletter. Spontaneous delight is one of my main reasons for being alive so, yeah. This sucks.

The second season of Culinary Class Wars went up on Netflix. I love Korean reality competition shows and the first season of this was incredible. I've only watched the first episode but it ended with me shouting at the TV so if you want a fun holiday watch. There it is.

After explaining the plot of the most recent BL I'm reading to Jamie he said, "Are you going to be arrested for reading that? Is that even legal?"

It might be even crazier than Mr. A's Farm. Or the snake spirit one. Or the dad one(s).

This is so messed up and so opposite to how Disney operates I didn't think it was true. But it is! What a fucking dark and wild ride we're on.
BREAKING: Disney is making a $1 billion investment in OpenAI, and will allow its iconic characters to be on the company's Sora AI video generator.

If you do good things just to be smug about it, who cares? You shovel your sidewalk AND your neighbours' just to show that cunt Wanda you're better than her? That's FINE. You're still doing a good thing, no one can see the inside of your brain, babe.

Every year since 2009 I have gotten an email from a man I don't know that sends Christmas and New Year's best wishes from him and his wife. It includes their mobile numbers and a link to his photo calendar for the next year. It's become a weirdly nice annual tradition. Thanks, Tony.

Round and Round (2023) This is one of the best Christmas (though it's actually Hanukkah) movies I've ever watched. It's charming, emotional, funny, and fun. Watch it! I loved it.

I was so lucky to have really fantastic sex ed from a great teacher in grade 4. But talking to my niece and friends with kids, they don't get any sex ed these days. So Scarleteen is important!
Sex ed is a notoriously underpaid field. Many sex educators work multiple jobs and don’t have access to employee health benefits. We're raising $40,000 to provide healthcare for our staff and volunteers so we can focus on what we do best: Supporting young people. www.classy.org/campaign/scarl...

The incredible, indomitable, inspirational Alice Wong has left us.

I'm so grateful to have known her on social media, and so grateful for all the words she shared with us and all the actions she encouraged us into making.

May we live up to her example.

(so you don't have to go to Instagram)

This is one of the most recent things Alice did. It was, as ever, a clear, trenchant, messy, and powerful exploration of not just her own experiences but also society's expectations around disability.

Robyn's new song is good. If I was at Thought Bubble this weekend, I'd want to hear this at the midcon party. youtu.be/vitil9qMN6A?...

Christmas Above the Clouds (2025) A retelling of A Christmas Carol, predictable and over the top. But because of the story there's plenty of Christmas magic, even if it's kinda dumb. However. Tyler Hynes. King of the Horny Kiss. So horny. A national treasure.

Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! (2025) This was incredibly charming. It gets better as it goes along and the characters have real, meaningful conversations about their feelings and miscommunications. It's also funny and sweet. And holy hell the kiss is horny. 🎄🎄🎄🎄/5

Every year I watch a lot of Christmas movies. I'm watching fewer this year, because I've been busy. But I'll make a thread of all the good ones if you want some recommendations. Christmas! 🎄☃️🎅

Had a dream Bang Chan from Stray Kids was flirting with me and then we kissed and he invited me back to his room but when we got there I spent the whole time asking him if he got breaks and if he was getting enough rest. Even in my dreams I am stressed about the well-being of artists. Lol

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

Our accountant double checked that my purchases at Lezhin were indeed business expenses. Excuse me! I work in comics! It is very important that I read lots of comics! Even ones where a wolf hybrid is knotting his adopted gangster father!
