This was a year where the personal outweighed the professional for me. But the baby is making an offer you can't refuse: Read this thread of my five favorite stories I did in 2025...

A key ethos of the anti-wokesters is "We are the only people who are allowed to use hyperbole."

A lede from @ralter.bsky.social that must be seen to be believed.
Yes, the hockey smut show is a perfect companion piece to the 1986 musical with tunes by the men of ABBA and often incomprehensible lyrics by Tim Rice, a revival of which is currently running on Broadway.

This is also how I feel about parenting.
a very important superpower you can develop is learning to enjoy having a bad time, it's cool and fun to do shit that sucks
Being unable to tolerate frustration + chasing social media clout gotta be a big reason why ppl jumped on the gen ai machine to churn out slop

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."
