So, here at the end of 2025, I find myself thinking back about where we've been. I'd like to share with you 12 essays from the year that was—one from each month. These are, if not my "favorites," the ones that I find most emblematic of what I'm trying to do with this work.

Fact | You can't write something predicated in the utterly ludicrous assumption that white men are being excluded from publishing unless you are racist.

I don't think it's good for public safety that unidentified masked men just show up and start terrorizing people, and I don't think that masked men who do so should feel safe in public.
Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Of course millimeters exists! But believing in kilometers is just a crazy religion, and also where does space come from in the first place? Kilometerists can't explain that! Therefore my specific god is the only logical reason why millimeters exist!

Fearless frogs feast on deadly hornets
A remarkable resistance to venom has been discovered in a frog that feasts on hornets despite their deadly stingers. This frog could potentially serve as a model organism for studies on mechanisms underlying venom tolerance.

Being rejected is oppression to those who intend to be oppressors.
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

We need to start to understand that “respecting people’s beliefs” means giving the people holding anti-society beliefs what they want, which is separation from society. Respect their agency that they want what they say they want. Give them credit for the natural logical effect of their belief.

Thought of the day: What would #riscv look like if you made #cheri integral?
1. CSRs could be "capability-mapped". No need for separate CSR instructions. This might be a win or a loss depending on your use case?
2. Traps could generate special sentry capabilities that encode complex execution […]

Learning about the breed of sheep that has evolved to eat only kelp and can no longer abide the grass of its ancestors. Perhaps one day it will return to the sea as a cousin to the seal and the dolphin
![The sheep have evolved a somewhat different physiology from other sheep, due to their unusual diet: their digestive system has adapted to extract the sugars in seaweeds more efficiently. 22] A 2005 study at the University of Liverpool found that they have a greater susceptibility to copper toxicity, when compared with a more traditional breed such as the Cambridge. 145) This is because seaweed has a chemical which inhibits the absorption of copper, so the sheep have to absorb copper more efficiently to obtain the required amount.
122] The levels of copper found in typical sheep feed, including grass, are toxic for this breed.
[31][46] Studies at the Universities of Liverpool and Minnesota suggest that they can extract four times more copper from their diet than more traditional breeds.
