Ten thousand fucking percent.

Like, I get it. I get that you're despairing. Shit is rough. But skeeting "we're so fucked" ten times a day accomplishes nothing, alleviates nothing, and contributes to learned helplessness.

In all seriousness, if you feel that welling up? Log off. You need a break.
Most of all, drop that "we're fucked" mindset. Time to leave that doomerism bullshit behind and focus on doing good.
I want 2026 to be the year where we collectively stop rewarding negativity. Stop bringing others down to bring yourself up. Stop bringing attention to genuinely awful people. Stop ignoring people bringing positive changes to the world. We need more kindness and empathy. I’m dead serious

One day I hope to get good enough at apparel making that I can anticipate ways to fix the problems other makers have identified in the pattern we're following.

That is not this day, so we'll just have to live with this ridiculously 70s oversized collar.

But whatever. I made a thing.

Finding joy where I can, feeling festive AF this morning.

Had eggnog in my coffee, following the City match while making Gingerbread and prepping baked beans for tomorrow's family gathering.

Can't pour from an empty cup, so this is how I'm readying myself for the battles ahead.

Cheers!

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know:

you are loved

you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

Gotta be honest, I don't wanna talk to someone who thinks we should repeal the amendment that gave my enslaved ancestors citizenship or that trans people like me need to be dragged forcibly back into the closet. I'd rather eat my own foot.
CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.

It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.

Someone drove their car into Hot Kroger this morning!

I hope Carol wasn't hurt. She's my favorite cashier and normally works the registers where the car went through

My BFF and I had dinner tonight and exchanged Christmas gifts.

We unwittingly got each other artwork by the same sculptor.

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

This latest Turnstile album is finally growing on me.

When it first came out, I didn't vibe with it, since it's so different (dream pop?!), but I think I'm beginning to get it.

Plus, it manages to sound fuckin awesome turned up way loud over the radio even on my shitty car stereo speakers

The fact that you can have 6 billion dollars and not be aware of the existence of other countries is a good argument in favour of the government confiscating 6 billion dollars from you
For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.

What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?

Who in the USA gov runs the program?

R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

I’m but a simple country theoretical physicist, and I can say, in my professional capacity, “datacenters in space” is so colossally, monumentally stupid that it is difficult to know where to start with which laws of physics the idea is spitting in the face of the most.
“.. Skeptics believe the technical risks are being underestimated and say space-based data centers won’t be competitive on cost, especially if power and other constraints ease on the ground.”

As everyone knew it would, this World Cup is shaping up to be an absolutely world class rip-off.

There is a Large Thing making noise under the house. Under my bedroom, in fact.

The ferocious beast who lives inside the rooms seems utterly uninterested.

Cats, man.
