Is it catastrophizing when terrible things keep happening?
I am so glad I tuned in to the half-time show.
Great interview to catch up on what's what, stay informed.

This is the time of year I wish people had their decorative lights up.
Publications pay-walling storm reporting. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda Iβm wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay Iβm hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways
I, personally, haven't seen much chatter about this, but I finally upgraded to the IMO instantly dated Liquid Glass.

Pomegranate is French for βpotato grenadeβ but the French donβt want you to know this
Have you listened to the latest episode of Public Health Is Dead yet? Lots of good info and reminders. Check it out here: public-health-is-dead.simplecast.com/episodes/bey...
Our editors share a wide variety of their personal favorite albums of 2025, featuring some of the year's biggest releases and a wealth of lesser-heard gems. Each writer hand-picks their own top albums, including some lists of singles and links to streaming playlists. Tune in!
Distraction: The personal favorites of individual editors (who participated, including me) are up! Many, many great recommendations to peruse over the holidays. Link is below, or search the interwebs for "AllMusic Loves 2025" at your convenience. ππΊπΆ www.allmusic.com/blog/post/al...
It's that time of year, and AllMusic's overall picks for best albums of 2025 are out (alphabetical, not ranked). Genre lists are revealed on weekdays for the rest of the year, personal lists by editor forthcoming. πΆ www.allmusic.com/year-in-revi...
I just saw a "lyrics proofreading" credit on an album press release and it made my day.
If you need a distraction, I contributed to this AllMusic list, which is surprisingly sweet and funny (and unsurprisingly informative) at times. www.allmusic.com/blog/post/la...
This is just under an hour long and packed with stuff everyone should be aware of (re: "the files," authoritarianism, what's actually going on and why people are acting the way they're acting, things to be on the look-out for...)
It's not like we were born with an innate understanding of N95 masks and airborne transmission. Many of us put in the intellectual effort to understand it, starting in 2020. You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It has been explained, and explained, and explained.
Wow, is this a current mood. (Thereβs a nice little summary of how the hell DJT made it into college, if youβve ever wondered.) Sorry for the preview photo. www.marytrump.org/p/the-pettin...
New interview! On all the things going wrong and how we got here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYWn...
Another great interview with Sarah Kendzior. I've been begging folks for years to understand that the (establishment) Dems are in on it--this interview packs in a lot of info quickly, including a sense of how that's played out. We HAVE TO understand what we're really up against.
I'd say this is all deeply unserious except for the potential to be a record-breaking event and be met with force in some places.
OK, I'm officially in favor of anything over nothing, but I was already annoyed at being excluded from No Kings, AN ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN PROTEST, due to ableist/ageist/racist/transphobic lack of masking; now I learn it starts at 9:30 here. Why? Michigan football game @ noon. πππ
feels like Lotte Reiniger gif time
Was feeling the lowest of lows then got a Wordle in two.
Someone said "Star of David banner" and I heard it as "star of David Banner" until a good 30 seconds later. (And, no, I wasn't thinking of the rapper.)
As far as finding things and doing research, the internet and Google worked better in 2005.
Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

TIL about water clocks. How had I never heard or thought of these before?
It would take around 1.1 million acres of solar panels to (clean) power the world. That's less than a quarter of the number of acres devoted globally to golf courses. You can see where this is going, right...?
Watching the Sumud Flotilla tonight and thinking about our friend Greta Thunberg, who was just arrested by Israelβ¦ and also countless other people who are just as brave even if we donβt know their names yet
