one day we'll realize that we view subjects through not just our own biases, but on those of the people whose biases we consume, and on that day, a lot of film critics will have to answer for their wildly overrated opinions on a bunch of terrible movies about the history of Hollywood

imagine, for a moment, having a pleasant day, then going to bed and waking up well rested and having another pleasant day and thinking this is a normal thing to do

considered, briefly, the idea of pronouncing 'antelope' like 'Penelope' and now my inner monologue, in which I would under normal circumstances rarely consider the antelope, is consigned to being Baader-Meinhof'd into gazelle-adjacent ruin for the next three to five business days

a vast impossible to comprehend disembodied creation with its tendrils in every facet of existence that unduly dominates our lives and shapes our reality, worshipped by many with a small number of cultists who believe without merit they can control its vast powers? you mean the internet?

another thing I forgot from the first go-round is that the sheer rate at which decisions alternately terrible and evil are being made is overwhelming and numbing, it's impossible to give anything the attention it deserves because by the time you've processed one thing six more have happened

had a goal this year to write at least 125 words a day- not much but a daily push to go
only undershot only about three days until early November when, uh, Events, but still ended the year with around 70,000 more words than I started with
