My 2026 New Year's Resolution is to be more intentional with media. I've fallen into the trap of "put on a YouTube video and play a roguelite and pay 50% attention to each."
This year, my goal for New-to-Me media is:
12 books (plus the Bible)
12 videogames
52 movies
52 albums
Media thread GO!

“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

LRT I am against the death penalty on principle, I do not think the state should have the power to snuff out human life in any case.
But since we already do, and Trump pushed for MORE federal executions, I'd say if we did a S. Korea, turnabout is fair play.

I wish I enjoyed playing SF3, because I genuinely, gun-to-my-head, believe it is the single best-looking videogame ever made.
In the spirit of self improvement, on this #scanlinesunday I endeavored to finally start possibly maybe learning another 3rd Strike character.
Friendship ended with Chun-Li, now Makoto is my best friend.
VERY different character. I like the movement in her normals.

A good, crispy, spicy fried chicken sandwich is a thing to behold. Proof that there is good in the universe.
Chicken thighs, breaded and fried to a perfect crisp, then tossed in a hot sauce with good flavor and not too much vinegar. Topped with blue cheese crumbles, on a toasted pretzel bun.
