Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

CONFIRMED: Oxford University Press has named ‘rage bait’ as the Oxford Word of the Year 2025.

#OxfordWOTY
Oxford Word of the Year 2025 poster featuring the term 'rage bait' with an image of a fishing hook, set against a pink and white background. Oxford Word of the Year poster featuring the term "rage bait." The text defines it as a noun, originating from a compound of the words 'rage' and 'bait,' described as "an attractive morsel of food, on the model of the already existing clickbait." The background is soft pink with abstract design elements.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

These questions didn’t fit in our header so we used the answers instead.
An image of text in the Bluesky header editing tool that doesn’t fit in the allowed dimensions that says: What gifts can we buy that also make our world better? Are there gifts that support maternal health? Are there gifts that help treat and test for tuberculosis? Are there gifts that help save coral reefs? CAN WE BUY GIFTS THAT DON’T FURTHER ENRICH BILLIONAIRES?

I got this a while back and I really like the syrups! I prefer using it for a tiny additional flavor (they recommend 2 Tbsp per glass, and I use 1 tsp), and so mine are lasting forever, but I like these a lot and you might too!

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.

When the sales drop, please remember that!

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.
