AKA the brand's reputation is in the tank and 2025 ended with a class action lawsuit settlement because LRG sold customer data without consent.

As is traditional, former NYC mayor Eric Adams has been entombed alive inside the New Year’s Eve ball alongside his beloved pet the NYPD subway cop robot.

I'm not one for resolutions but I would like to put more effort into playing music this year and maybe even arrange songs out of the many little scratch riffs I came up with over the last decade.

I have an Epcot NYE livestream on and a DJ in the Italy pavilion is spinning a thumping club version of Paramore's "Still Into You" and it's kind of breaking my brain.

Gonna drink a non-alcoholic beer and be in bed by 11pm on New Year's Eve like a good 41-year-old sober person.

And never brought to mind.
Should old acquaintance be forgot,

The hardest I laughed all week was when @tylersnewgroove.bsky.social sent this in slack for approvals today.

Randy Havens, who plays school teacher Mr. Clarke, has denied the existence of a longer cut of Stranger Things Season 5 Vol. 2, after an unverified Google Doc detailing allegedly shortened storylines garnered enough attention to spawn a Change.org petition. https://bit.ly/45yfB1h

It takes a lot of good people, good runs, and good trips to distract from *gestures at everything* - here's to many more distractions in the new year.

Hi here's my top 10 movies for 2025. Superman held pole position until literally last week, when One Battle and Train Dreams overtook it. letterboxd.com/michaelrolea...

Anyway I just got a call that two different immunocompromised family members are en route to the hospital. Eat shit 2025.

This year's "survive till '25"-like motto will be "Get in your licks in 2026."

Squeezed one more in before the year ended. The vibes are immaculate, but combat is a step backwards from TMNT: Shredder's Revenge.
With an aesthetic and move set that nods heavily to the early days of Marvel vs Capcom, Marvel: Cosmic Invasion is a fun beat-up-experience, though it’s not particularly deep. infinitebacklog.net/users/michae...

Hi here are the shows that resonated the most with me in 2025.

No, I did not watch The Chair Company, The Pitt, The Studio, or Pluribus, so don't ask where they are.

Did 2013 discourse post this?
Is it me or the gameplay in The Last Of Us games is really repetitive?

They're taking down the holiday overlay on Living with the Land, the ride isn't closing at all.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
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.

A large iced from Dunkies really pulls the whole ensemble together.
I know I’m from Massachusetts because it’s 36 degrees here and I’m going to wear a hoodie over a flannel shirt to avoid bringing a big jacket out.

Hi, here's my GOTY 2025 list.

Clair Obscur sits at 1 but it's now got the asterisk after the fact because emotionally it's one of the most important games I've ever played but its message is undercut by the IRL stuff.

I also never rolled credits on BALL x PIT or Hades 2, they're just that good.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Goodbye 2025. Ready to now welcome 2026 (so I can start using my new AP).
