Monk is great, every episode is like "hey Monk, I don't think we need you on this one, Mr. Smith was a baker and he baked himself into a pie" "but captain, he's still wearing shoes. If I was gonna bake myself into a pie, I'd take off my shoes first" "god damnit randy, he's wearing shoes!"
Monk may be copangada, BUT the fact that it takes time to piss on CSI for being stupid bullshit is pretty great

Alright, it's a tad rushed because it was written in between looking after the kids and I wanted to get it out before the new year but here it is. Reflections on 2025 and the biggest career change I've ever done.

What is the purpose of having a personal website if not to create your own digital museum exhibits of your favorite tweet threads?
I've gone through and collected the tweet thread, in all its glory, on my website:

Note to self: make a more permanent backup of @unormal.bsky.social's incredible tweet thread of swapping out Unity with Godot in Qud.
Would be a shame if it were lost to time.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Happy couch potato Sunday to all the neurodivergent people, currently depleted from too much sociabilisation. Remember: taking time to recharge is not being lazy, it's self-care, to avoid burning out, especially since we might need some energy for the 31th!

Last Christmas we went out with my in-laws for a 14 course omakase in Ginza and I decided I was going to just pay for it regardless of the cost. We had four bottles of sake because my MIL is a wine person and “wanted to get into sake too”. I was prepared to spend a ton of money. It cost $360 total.

Please enjoy this photo of the Horace and Jasper bodypillows my aunt crafted for me when I was 5 years old and brain-meltingly obsessed with 101 Dalmatians.

spoke with some people who didn't enjoy 'Wake Up Dead Man' yesterday and it reinforced my belief that it is a great film
Their reasons for disliking it were stupid, and I deployed the Online tactic of saying "no it's great" while ignoring their Bad Critiques entirely
