If you're wondering, "why here?" Commercial vehicles, including trucks, are prohibited within this stretch, so driving one there is the only pretext they need to make a stop - it's an actual violation.

Looking back on this year, I am sorry to say that every time I tried not to be an asshole, it was a mistake. I guess the motto for 2026 is “be a dick.”

I have seen way more than usual problems with shipping addresses. Be sure to double-check the auto-populated mailing addresses when ordering via Etsy, Google Pay, and especially Apple Pay. It seems to be something specifically with those platforms and payment systems.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice
