In all sincerity, merry Christmas if you celebrate and I hope you have a good day.

Normally my Christmas Eve affirmations are brighter than this, but the world has had a fucking hell of a year. I hope you're doing okay. I hope things get better. And a day will come when he will not be.

Amazing there wasn't a 2010s-era Jingle All The Way successor where bro is breaking into an Amazon warehouse and ends up dangling precariously from a delivery drone

Songs don’t save the world.
They save people.

…And people do the rest.

As a Canadian, moose are one of those animals that don't feel real. Like they feel like some kind of high fantasy fauna but they're just...here

When the twelve minute metal song begins with one minute of orchestral buildup and you're like oh goddamn this is gonna come to FUCK

Just a sampling of some of the 2025-released albums I've been vibing on this year. Every year is a banner year for music!

Fascism both glorifies sadism and denies those same atrocities, as we see in textbook form with the regime sending hundreds of people to a depraved torture prison and now using its media agents to snuff out the reporting around it. Because it needs to make the truth as much a victim as the people.
Again, from Michael Grynbaum, here is Sharyn Alfonsi's full email.

It must be read:

Feed is giving me posts about it being the one year anniversary of Helluva Boss's Sinsmas, which means it's also near the one year mark of when this show made me hyperfixate so hard that I wrote the largest article I've ever done about anything in THREE DAYS thegamerslookingglass.com?p=951

In all sincerity, I watch this every Christmas Eve over dinner without fail. No matter if I'm working that day or what. I find a way. It happens as sure as the stars in the sky. It's not Christmas until it's motherfucking Turbo Time.
Currently watching that Christmas classic where The Terminator almost gets himself killed to get an action figure for Anakin Skywalker

That old video where I reviewed the Bloodborne art book & spent forever trying to set up good video shots of the pages, then realized I could just take pictures, was some real "American cosmonauts spent millions researching a pen for use in space and Russian cosmonauts used a pencil" stuff

Actually yeah, spot on: if we didn't live in a post-ethics, post-dignity, post-every-moral age for corporate journalism, this would be an immediate firing AND a blackballing from the "I write words about topical events, you pay me" industry. And yet.
David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

If I was to write an article chronicling this year's insane censorship push of video games by bad actors, Collective Shout et al, I think the title of the article would be Prude And Prejudice

MCR's The Black Parade is now as old as GnR's Appetite For Destruction was when The Black Parade came out. Who among you did I just Thanos-snap into dust

Even setting aside the article's atrocious framing (let's be real, the word I'm circling around is 'lying') and even setting aside that bro's resume was the IT equivalent of putting in as an aerospace engineer with the qualification "I played lots of Star Fox 64 as a kid", (1/2)
This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants
