New campaign for 2026: Help take down X. bit.ly/4jAMmk9

X is a home for hate, disinformation, and now CSAM. We can all help nudge journalists, politicians, sports teams, and pizza joints off of X.

Major #carbonpricing news this month:

The EU has "fully implement[ed] a functioning border carbon adjustment policy."

In order to trade certain goods with Europe, "importers must now pay for the greenhouse gas emissions contained on their products."

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

LRock and friends put on a great show - turning a run of an already stellar game into something really special.
I'm really proud of this run. A 1CC of this super hard game in a big marathon is great and all, but props also to @jaidlyn.wakeupbuttons.com for her stellar singing, and to @gigasturtz.bsky.social and @tompocket.bsky.social for holding down the couch. Fantastic run!

Enough is enough. Deleted my Epic Games account today. Good fucking riddance.
Drop Fortnite
So how we feelin' about that Epic ecosystem nowadays?

We all feel confident that Fortnite is a good spot for kids to hang out?

Anyway, "guy who runs Fortnite company says shutting down child pornography generator is 'censorship' " is a pretty wild headline to share with your friends who are players or parents of Fortnite players

CCL applauds the reintroduction of the Clean Competition Act from @whitehouse.senate.gov & @repdelbene.bsky.social!

The bill "would give domestic companies a step up in the global marketplace while lowering emissions at home & abroad," Sen Whitehouse says.

Took dogs to the vet, saw my friend's dog on the posted list of upcoming appointments. That would be a HIPAA violation, if the P in HIPAA stood for puppies.

Last week @financialtimes.com covered CSAM on the social media website X. Just to the left of the article is a link inviting us, the readers, to visit X. Bizarre.

It's hard to trust sites that remain affiliated with Musk's X in 2026. The disinformation, hate, and now CSAM on X are a dealbreaker.

More XCOM 2 shenanigans. Years ago, my first attempt at the War of the Chosen campaign met with failure on the Lost and Abandoned mission. This time around things are going better...SO FAR.

XCOM 2 weekend continues! I cleared the last of the Tactical Legacy Pack missions, recovering an artifact of amazing power. (If you know, you know) Managed to pull off a gold medal, thanks to some good play and a handful of lucky dodges. Tonight I'll start an actual campaign!

Another installment of "before and after". Butternut squash curry. Plus a bonus - the seeds cooked with a little salt and cayenne pepper.

December photo catch-up: Christmas (technically Boxing Day) dinner of bean soup + stuffing + fancy-schmancy button mushrooms with shallots. Also, dogs being cute.

After taking a month off of video games, I'm playing X-COM 2. Doing the Tactical Legacy Pack missions today and the novelty of the post-mission photobooth hasn't worn off yet.

Do you ever look up at the stars...

Last month I did Digital Declutter December, taking time off social media and video games. A quiet season.

Now I'm circling back and deciding how (and if) to plug back in. Going to finally delete my Facebook/Instagram account. Staying on BlueSky - but only on PC and not on phone.
