[Spock voice] REMEMBER
If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in a very dumb annual tradition and start 2026 off on the right hoof.

Do I have this right?

A Wall Street financier is shaping opinions for a newspaper owned by hedge funds to manufacture consent for technology built on intellectual theft to consolidate wealth and power into the hands of narcissistic billionaires while pouring gasoline on a climate crisis? 🤔
In 2025, AI became pervasive in American life and the economy, with ChatGPT surging in adoption much faster than any other major technology in memory. @nytopinion.nytimes.com

no, that was pre Twitter migration, we don’t call them skeets now. style guide says they’re called ejaculating into a spoon. so for example you don’t say “did you see that guy’s skeet” you say “did you see where that guy ejaculated into a spoon on Bluesky”

nothing more annoying than being in a relationship with someone who refuses to understand your ways and gets offended at everything you do that they don't agree with

okay let's settle this. is liking women's photos and videos on instagram while you're in a "monogamous" and typical heterosexual relationship unacceptable?

Feeling lost in the malaise of soupy days before the new year? Pair that dreary mood with some heavy metal that will leave you floating in a starless void:

Anyone need some bass recorded? All my projects are in a holding pattern at the moment, and I need something to do in the interim. Any genre/style.

If you or someone you know needs some bass laid down, DM me or email [email protected]

I can't overstate how important this is, if I'm late on the mortgage for a third month they could put us into default. I'm so scared.
I NEED to put together the other $352 of this before New Years Day, which is when my dad is being discharged. Please. I don't know what I'll do if I can't pay the mortgage and electric bills because I had to pay this.

Quote this with your favourite game NOW that was released in 2005, and what your favourite was THEN (if you had one)

Localisations/early access count, remasters/ports don't. Remakes depend.

Two-way ties count.

since my domain with the blog and the music writing has expired and since I'm really broke rn, will it be right to ask for help for buying a new domain and a hosting plan?

In 2013, my band Djinn And Miskatonic released our debut album, Forever In The Realm. It's surreal to realise an album I helped make is over a decade old. It's not perfect, but it holds up. Listen to it, get your doom on, support an independent band:
