I’m not perfectly compliant, especially at my (well ventilated) gym- but I try to mask as often as I can, when I’m indoors around more than a handful of people.
With modest adjustments to air circulation and filtration in buildings, we could all be living much healthier lives.

I have worn a mask in public for over 5 years. My husband has had profound, life-changing long Covid for over 4 years, and now our kid does as well. I can’t imagine I will stop masking unless their circumstances change. And for what it’s worth I haven’t had even a cold for the last four+ years.
always strange to talk about but when i see everyone around me accepting sickness when i have been doing just one thing different while attending movies parties bars concerts flights…….i feel morally obligated to occasionally mention that wearing a mask has been a game changer. simple as that

5 minute warmup, 18 minutes of circuit training (goblet squats, romanian deadlifts, push ups, bent over rows), followed by 10 minutes LISS walking!

Got more physically active; recovered to a “normal” state of physical capability; started a workout routine with a personal trainer; did therapy all year
Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

It's just that---maybe when you spend your days actually doing good in the world, spending effort to measure people's hearts against the shape-sorter-toy of "most moral type of elf game" feels faintly absurd.

In TTRPGs I've met:
labour organisers, worker-coop & affordable-housing advocates; lawyers working in immigration & human rights; card-carrying communists; etc
The Venn diagram between them and the folks who go: "If you like a certain style of game you are a Nazi" are two separate circles.

"Why do we have to take ethics classes for a computer science degree?"
This is why. And frankly, we should be failing more students for inadequately demonstrating their understanding of the topic.
Let's review some fun historical examples of why "No, actually quality will continue to matter."

“We’re going to ship lower quality stuff, faster” seems like an exceptionally clear sighted and honest explication of AI’s value proposition, I’m just not convinced that a) people will want the lower quality stuff, or b) that it will actually be faster
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.
