One of my favorite things to do is hype up the amazing people I’m lucky to count among my friends, and because I’ve been awfully negative lately (hard not to in the ceaseless hell of USA politics and so on) I’m going to get back to that.
This is entirely arbitrary. Pardon the typical chaos. 1/???

I’m that level of exhausted where I absolutely don’t have the brain power to work on some of the things I want to while also being aware and awake enough to be very mad about that personal deficit.
Here’s my compromise - some goals I aim to work on in the final days of 2025 and throughout 2026. 1/9

People still supporting Joey Swole and his TikTok Shop slop give the same energy as the “I can excuse racism” line from Community.
I’d rather have to deal with extra calories from sauces that don’t taste like disappointment and supporting the next wave of alt-right dipshit gym bros, thanks.

30lb lateral raises:
Sometimes they’re pretty rad.
Sometimes I wonder if they’re some sort of self-loathing manifestation.
Anyway, onward all the same.

I am endlessly mystified by people who start videos by eating enough gummies to tranquilize an enraged Elder God and the proceed to do something, step by step, with a mental clarity I assumed only existed in fiction.

Thrilled to see Pantone really read the room when selecting 2026’s color of the year, which I believe is Trad Wife Podcast Bro With Klan Side Hustle White.
Not Even Trying to Hide It would be a step up from this.

Really pleased with how dinner turned out. Steak’s melt-in-your-mouth tender, mushrooms turned out just right, and that’s with juggling 3 wandering into the kitchen periodically.
Not bad, Snark. Not bad at all.

Make money however works, I guess, but there has to be some goddamn boundaries on that hustle mindset.
If you even hint at espousing any healthcare or medical wisdom to peddle a product, you should be on the hook for if/when things go wrong for buyers.
Acting like modern snake oil salespeople.

Having to do ranked online battles in Pokemon to earn Mega Stones is a dogshit money-grab of an idea and as much as I enjoy Pokemon I have a proportionate disdain for the microtransaction DLC bog that is so much of the video game space.

Conjuring energy to tolerate this day so I can also be enthusiastic for Mrs. Bourbon’s birthday.
Making her the annual steak dinner with all of her preferred sides and such, and celebrating with arts and crafts with her and the kids. Can’t beat that.
Just need to survive Corporate Fun first.

My favorite thing with LinkedIn is getting notifications someone has looked at an application I put in ages ago. Or downloaded my resume from such an application I long-since forgot about.
If you’re on the job hunt right now, best of luck to you because it’s clearly a wild and infuriating time.

A bit of honesty, so if you’re low on bandwidth you may want to scroll.
I am struggling. Burn out’s hitting hard, and the next chance for a break isn’t until 2026.
Granny had a CT scan that revealed something up with her lungs that merited a referral to a pulmonary doc. In January. Christ.

On the topic of dice results in #TTRPG settings:
Critical success shouldn’t look like an Instant Win button. Critical failures shouldn’t look like the end of the world. How the results and consequences play out should align with expectations set at the start of a game & ultimately enhance the game.

Out of all of the Avatars in #TheMagnusArchives, Nikola Orsinov and Jane Prentiss genuinely scare the hell out of me and also have some of the most incredible cosplayers.
Honorable mention to all of the Elias and Distortion! Michael ones, yes, but there’s something visceral about these two.

I feel like I should clarify this:
I do not encourage people to get shitfaced on caffeine and alcohol while writing college papers as a better choice than AI, even if it is better than stooping to using AI.
You’ve got to find what works for you and embrace it. Those writing skills are invaluable.

I feel absolutely ancient when people talk about struggling through college papers.
I used to procrastinate like it was my job, spending more time getting my shit rocked in WoW raids. Night before due date? No sleep. So much caffeine. First draft and revisions.
Not smart. Still better than AI.

Gentle reminder as we hurtle towards the conclusion of another year:
Choose kindness, but never at the cost of your peace. The world is shit right now and kindness despite that is in itself an act of rebellion, but not when it means entertaining the heinous bullshit of fools.
Take care, folks.

Everyone else in the house has a snow day, and I’m strongly considering taking a sick day later this week because it turns out being 38 has made me incompatible with sleeping on anything that isn’t a bed (in this case, a really horrible futon).

Boston Scally making their Christmas Coal cap available as a possible addition to orders during their Christmas sale annoys me in all of the worst ways.

Beyond exhausted from sleeping on a futon for the past four nights.
Getting to bed early with a goal of getting up well before I need to be awake for work, writing a bit, getting some of my exercise done, and starting the day on good notes.
Take care, folks; as always, good luck and godspeed.
