Thank you, New York Times. I too agree that The Onion had the same level of cultural impact this year that Sabrina Carpenter did.

On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise."
I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

Sometimes people ask me why I use watercolors for my little doodles and the answer is: because you can make the sky look like this.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

the only reason I've never used GenAI is because if I did i'd feel like a sick artistic fraud. filthy, like I'd sold my mother's wedding ring for drugs, or cheated on my wife with her sister or kicked a baby into a river. that's the only reason. well that and everything it makes looks shit.

Last night we had our 6-hour streamathon and it was a huge success!
We raised more than $25,000 while talking about politics, playing video games, making dolmas, and putting my cat in a little Santa hat.
Politicians can fund campaigns without calling rich people. They just have to want to do it.
