In case anyone was curious about my social media handle

I like how putting these together blends the meanings, and how it evokes the idea of the parasocial.

For my newsletter today, I discussed my "pivot to video", what it has meant for my workload, why I think it was worth it, and if I think other writers and podcasters should dabble with video

It also explains why I haven't been posting newsletter articles recently www.burnsnotice.com/the-pivot-to...
The Pivot to... A Lot of Work

This is my first Reading Log. One nice thing about writing these end-of-year lists is I get to decide if the ways I’ve used to track a medium actually work. This year, I can say I’ve be…

Good morning. I've written up my yearly game log. If you follow me on backloggd, you've seen most of these notes. It's nice to have it all in one place: ksawyerpaul.com/2025/12/08/s...

TL:DR: 46 games played, some even from this year for once!

Most of the time it's annoying that Scrivener shows up as a "game" on discord, but it's sort of cute that it won in a landslide

I wonder how it feels to write something pithy on Twitter in 2017, then see it as a screenshot on Instagram forever

Dynamite felt like it was ten minutes long tonight 🤼‍♂️

It's funny, I feel like I'm never here. And yet...

I was quite online this year on Bluesky, with a total of 290 active days. My longest break was 5 days. My most active month was January.

I could see this turning both of them babyface, though.

Only wrestling fans know this little secret, Heel/Heel matches like Okada vs PAC are the best wrestling matches.
The Gold League shows out TONIGHT as Kyle Fletcher battles Kevin Knight as both look for six points in the Continental Classic, and Okada and PAC battle as Okada looks for his first three and PAC looks to continue his momentum!

I’ve found these gift guides to be very helpful in finding gifts for others, and, perhaps more useful, finding things to ask for myself.

A question I'd like @brandon.insertcredit.com to answer on @insertcredit.com sometime: were you, as I was, disappointed when megabonk turned out to not be a new Bonk game

Last night, I finished the first draft on a long article about AI. I have a blog where I could publish it, but I wonder if I shouldn't pitch it to a few places. I think it's a good take.

This also works if you "split" your monitor horizontally between two inputs. If the view becomes taller than wide, Windows will start snapping vertically. It's neat.
Did you know if you have a vertical monitor in Windows 11, you can snap a window to the top / middle / bottom third by pressing WIN + ALT + Up / Down 👀

Having a pretty great Sunday, just reading articles I've been saving for a while.

When I was in college, an app project I made was an Instapaper-style read-later thing called Sunday that worked only on your rest day. I still...kind of use read later apps like that?
