I had the tree down on the 27th while kiddo was at his mother's. Much less effort having it down than trying to chase the cats away from it.

Amazon really needs to stop asking me to review products that are over 3 days late arriving.
I've already started cancelling my existing subscription orders and will be dropping prime entirely as soon as my next parcels arrive or are refunded.

There's a post over on Twitter that I've been laughing to myself about. Some right-wing guy is celebrating that a school took down "All-Gender" bathroom signs and replaced them with "Single Occupancy Restroom" signs. And like... it's the same thing, man. You're celebrating a pointless relabeling.

AI, (and large language models as a whole) is legitimately making the web worse. First scraping data and stealing traffic and then making things up and treating it as fact. Never use AI results. Ever.
I LOATHE AI. I just searched for the exact date when six Democratic lawmakers released their video about illegal orders.
Google AI just gave me the following:
The video was first posted on Tuesday, November 23, 2025
That's not a date. Tuesday was Nov. 25.

I've seen this time and time again. They just pull up to the house with the "sorry we missed you" card, put it in the mailbox and take off without even a knock

This reminds me of that brief moment in 2016 when brands would call out Trump for gross stuff involving their products. For instance, Tic Tacs responding to the Access Hollywood tape or Skittles pushing back on Don Jr. comparing refugees to poisoned Skittles

Holy shit.
I'm so glad to be getting out of tech and into a field where I can't be terminally online anymore. The discourse has become so disgusting.

I saw that blow up real fast. And I can understand in part, that she automatically associated prescription with medication. But also... Lenses are covered in grade 6 science so... 🤷♂️

I can't put a deck on the front of my house without 18 different permits and checking with 3 different utilities. How does this happen to the Whitehouse during a shutdown?

Definitely the latter. The expression I can relate to. But I know way too well the harms that can be hiding in those groups.

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing all the Republicans blame the Texans for not spending more, the same way Republicans blame Canada for the 25-35% drop in Canadian visitors to the US.
Texans can no longer afford the state fair in Donald Trump's economy. Or they fear the secret police. Or both. Either way, this represents nearly a 20% DROP in attendance over last year.
Republicans have managed to kill a huge revenue source for the state and hundreds of businesses.

State Fair of Texas sees 400,000 drop in attendance compared to 2024, with cost cited as key factor by families
The 2025 State Fair of Texas drew about 2 million visitors, roughly 400,000 fewer than last year, as many families cited affordability concerns.
