These days when society trends toward hate and bigotry, I rebel and practice radical kindness. You're all beautiful, awesome people and the world is 1000% better that you're in it. Carl Sagan said "The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself."
Fucking hell. For the millionth time, we're the baddies, bombing countries for the heck of it as our childish dictator gets his rocks off. Again, anyone who voted for him or didn't vote against him is a complicit piece of shit. Coming up on midterms and I see you. Do your fucking duty.

CNN: CNN just getting report that the smoke appears to be rising from the vicinity of Fort Tiona, which is where the Venezuelan ministry of defense is headquartered, which would seem to indicate that somebody is targeting the defenses of Venezuela.

I read the other day about fun New Years resolutions and someone said "counting the number of times they sneeze". Earlier today I sneezed and my inner voice replied "One". 😅

Do you like weird flavor chips? Join me on this new 2026 adventure where I will try and rank one weird flavor chip per day until I run out, and then just keep adding to it as I find more to try. As I've been wanting to do this for a while, I have 50 bags ready to go. Ready? Let's Chip! 🥔🧵⬇️

If you start watching the Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition and start it at exactly 9:33:10 pm, the flash of light after Gandalf exclaims "You Shall Not Pass!" happens at exactly midnight. I think that's what I'm going to roll with this year.

8 pm and Little Ocho is in bed, wife - still not 100% - already up lying in bed. So it's just me for the rest of the night. Happy New Year, all. May the coming year be better for everyone. Eat some grapes, drink a toast, do whatever you can to give us all good energy for the upcoming New Year. 🎉🍾🍻

Are you looking to start the 2026 year with a forever bestie? My neighbor's labradors had puppies and they are now old enough to be adopted. If you are near southern Indiana and ready to fill your life with the love only a fur baby can give, let me know! #dogsky

Going to attempt to lobby a senator tomorrow about a statewide issue I believe is unintentionally causing undue harm. Wish me luck.

I'd like to thank the academy, my parents, my loving wife and son, and my obsession of taking a million screenshots.

Thanks @sypster.bsky.social for the humorous words. Yes, it's a complete coincidence. But I'll still take it. 😅

Now let me
MOP's Justin has selected the best MMORPG screenshots of the year, literally, for important awards like "Garish Eyesore" and "OSHA Violations." Let's go!

So uhhh... it was definitely the cream cheese. 🧵 I'll start from the beginning. I decided to make Chocolate Cheesecake cupcakes. Chocolate, with cream cheese frosting and a cheesecake flavored pudding center. I was rushing a bit, since I put off making them until this morning. ⬇️ 1/5
They... didn't turn out great. Chocolate cake is good, but the icing was bad. Felt like the cream cheese wasn't good. But I caught it before it made it on the cupcakes. So, they're now messily "iced" with cheesecake flavored pudding. So it goes.
Let's get these cupcakes made.

Thank you! One of my goals with the novel was to make it accessible whether or not the reader has played the game.

Also, whenever I see my baby out in the wild, I’m reminded how lucky I was to get such a kick ass cover by Christopher Shy.
I got this awesomely weird book for Christmas. @joshuadoetsch.bsky.social
Sleep has no place to call its own. The book did not come with teeth marks, hence me adding my own. This is the only White Wolf novel I've ever enjoyed reading because it doesn't self-refer itself like a TTRPG fiction book.

Update: she devoured the whole thing. ❤️
My wife, having an appetite again, said she needs a roast beef hoagie. I will now move heaven and earth to get her one.

Miles to go before I sleep (or before the storm rolls in). Stay tuned. I may be starting up a fun thing here either today or tomorrow, if I can find the time to set it up.

On the fifth day of Christmas, they were given five golden rings. But they were -- all of them -- deceived.

Got up for Christmas morning, made it to the couch, helped Little Ocho open up some presents and then promptly took a nap. We're so low energy today.

Hoping the day is easy for all my friends out there, whether you celebrate or not.

Watching Muppets Christmas Carol, as you do on Christmas Eve, and for some reason I thought Michael Caine was the only human? Where did I get that from? Of course it's false, there's a bunch of other humans. Still the best Christmas movie.

Now my wife is totally down for the count, the flu having hit her as well. Looks like Christmas at our in-laws may be canceled. Welp. It may be another quiet Christmas at home. Except for all the coughing, that is.
