Paddling into the 1st Advent
So I'm watching the lies, the denial, the wishful thinking, the culture war, and the economic illiteracy with fascination since I'm along for the ride either way – and I've got a family history of high blood pressure to watch out for.

Nooo it’s beautiful! My partner who didn’t want to join me on Mauna Kea went there right away after I learned it finally erupted from the Maine Kea rangers. The whole island was anticipating it! Now she’s sending me cool lava pictures while I had to look at boring telescopes 😭

2025 was a wild ride for me. It was absolutely amazing & I'm not sure I'll be able to top my non-YT (sorry 🙈) output but I was also permanently stressed out as fuck.
So now, after giving one of my most important speeches for some of the most important people in my life, I'm collapsing to human goo.

lol so in order to add any kind of 2FA to a Twitch account, I have to give them my phone number and agree to "Twitch may use your phone number to call or send text messages for informational purposes."
How much 2FA goodwill have thirsty companies like this destroyed?

However: bookmark sync is unreliable and relatedly reading list is so janky too that I switched to GoodLinks. And somehow the UI gets increasingly sluggish until I restart it like an old Windows system.
I guess it's time for an experiment. 2/3
