Stopped posting on Twitter and even stopped RTing last year. I popped in last week just to try and contact people for podcast planning, and come to see even the DM system seems pretty effed up now too. I think making it unusable for independent creators to find an audience is pretty intentional
I left twitter a year ago and I wish I could say it was for moral reasons but it was mostly because it just stopped working and it felt like there were more real people here despite the smaller user base

it’s stupid to not use ai just because it can induce psychosis and generate child porn. it’s like saying you’re hungry when there’s a hot dog on the ground outside that induces psychosis and generates child porn

New podcast desk decoration has joined my collection. My husband gifted me a figurine I didn’t know I always wanted: Todd McFarlane’s corner box Spider-Man over the price tag of his comics. One of my all-time favorite Spidey drawings is now a full figurine!

A great year-end thread celebrating the MTV era of music videos. One I want to add is Beastie Boys - Sabotage, a perfect Spike Jonze video that was so cool even Beavis & Butt-head could merely react in awe to its beauty www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2-S...

2025 was the year where I decided to finally watch Twin Peaks, and I wrapped this December by finishing The Return. I feel much more complete having taken it all in, and ready to watch it all over again. Really lucky to visit so many Twin Peaks sights in Los Angeles, Portland and North Bend, WA

Calling my mom to tell her I’m finally number two like she always said
Our 2nd most-read piece of 2025 is by the forever funny @mikedrucker.bsky.social, and we have no idea what he was getting at here, but it seemed to have struck a nerve with many, many readers.

Just explained to my husband how the famous Amazing Spider-Man 583 with the Obama cover also had a backup story where they meet at the inauguration. And that, likely in the hopes of pleasing conservative readers, there's a complimentary scene for John McCain as well in this nearly 20 year old comic
