For the sake of diversity I have a 2026 goal to get one band with a male vocalist into my top 5.
From my YouTube Music 2025 Recap, top five artists. "These were you top 5. 1 Annie Zhou 1,003 minutes. 2 The Beths. 3 Amélie Farren. 4 Beach Bunny. 5 Penelope Scott."

"They said Russia could never be tamed". 4/5
The famous Charles Joseph Minard infographic showing the invasion and retreat of Napoleon's Grand Armee in Russia in 1812. There's a bunch of text at the top in French. The diagram shows two lines of varying thickness stretched across a map of the relevant part of Russia. The beige line (the advance) is very thick at the far left (the west) of the diagram and gradually narrows until it is less than a fourth as thick at the right of the diagram, labelled Moscow. The black line (the retreat) is the same thickness at Moscow and gradually narrows as you look from right to left until it reaches the Niemen river where the diagram begins and is less than one tenth the size of the beige line in the same place. Below the main diagram there is a graph showing the temperature along the retreat, indicating that it got hella cold.

I've really been enjoying word salad, but I wish there were more variety in the puzzles. Anyway, here's my amateurish attempt at one. There are four words that are part of the name of Goblin cards in #magicthegathering #mtg.
A four-by-four grid of letters. The first row is E O R U. The second row is T G N R. The third row is F A I K. The fourth row is M E H C.

Came across this delightful image of tardigrades mating. One highlight from the article: apparently male tardigrades are shy! "...however, the walking speeds are slower than those of a male walking in the absence of females"
Sexual reproductive behaviours of tardigrades: a review Kenta Sugiura & Midori Matsumoto https://doi.org/10.1080/07924259.2021.1990142 Published online: 22 November 2021 Figure 3 of 6 Figure 3. Ejaculation in two tardigrade species. (a) In I. dastychi, a ready-to-mate female is held by a male, which ejaculates. Illustration is Figure 2 in Bingemer et al. (Citation2016), reprinted with permission. (b) In Mac. shonaicus, a male ejaculates without touching a female

I would like to contribute to French Revolution discourse.
The domino effect meme where the cause is "The Grand Armee invades Russia" and the effect is "American hotels call hardboiled eggs and toast 'continental breakfast'"
