A lot of people should make it their New Year's Resolution to stop posting like "Did you know Twitter is bad? Here's a screencap of the worst tweet I saw today. Isn't this bad? Here's one more. No one should use that site. I'll post another screencap tomorrow so you how bad it is."

This is excellent advice. (It just moved me to unfollow someone on another platform who is one note and that note is whiny.) Now is also a good time to unsubscribe from annoying marketing emails, too.
I opened up Instagram for the first time in 2026 and the 1st thing I see is rage bait from a fun queer meme account I follow... and I just... unfollowed? And it was that easy? And that's my energy moving forward? Everything that tries to enrage me I will abandon!!!

Movies aren’t always meant to be shunted into categories of like and don’t like. If you leave the theater or press “exit” and you’re thinking “Ok I don’t know about some of that, I have thoughts,” congratulations you’re engaging with art! Its own special thing.

Reading William Gibson's ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES, about a coming "nodal point" where tech disruption changes everything, which for the characters has such transformative potential. So much sense of wonder!
And. Watching an actual AI "nodal point" unfold... in real life it's just so fucking boring.

Three months ago, my dear friend Hani was murdered while trying to feed his family.
His sister Faten has cancer, and sleeps in a freezing tent with her hands, feet, and eyes swelling more and more every day.
I love this family with all my heart. I can’t keep watching them die.

Another year another pile of books enjoyed! Not pictured are Marnie, some Medieval history book from the library, and another pile of ones I just didn’t get anything out of.
A couple yrs ago I could barely finish a book bc I was so busy. I clawed my way back into the habit and VERY glad I did so.

Probably an unpopular opinion but Quentin Tarantino only achieved true greatness twice: Jackie Brown and Kill Bill.
Those are also the two whose protagonists are women.
When his toxic masculine obsessions don't derange him, he can really create something special.
