As my tinnitus & hearing loss/sensitivity remains with a day of antibiotics left & no ENT appointment in sight, I head into 2026 wishing I'd recorded more rap & hyperpop music this past year (I did do a Dn'B LP.) Still, if this was my last single for the foreseeable future, it's a solid bookend:

Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.
Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

As a guy who pushed carts at Targets in his late teens, I wouldn't have handled it as well as that poor kid did. Speaks to bully tactics too; they picked off someone would've been spent from a day working in the cold & whose job puts him outside in the parking lot where he's an easier target.
ICE kidnap 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at Target then dump him bleeding and crying miles away in a Walmart parking lot… 🤬

Negging big business GenAI until Jensen loses his jacket.
They can hear you calling them monstrous shitheads trying to destroy society and the economy and it makes them sad.
So you just know the message is to keep doing it more and louder.

This reaction feels weird to me: the Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise set is *6838 pieces*. That is pretty huge, and while the $650 price tag is a lot, 9.5¢ per piece is *low* for lego sets.
Several smaller sets could have been nice, but this isn't "we're charging extra for the pokemans".

It's painful watching every child's toy get ruined by collector scum, as if that wasn't something many showrunners hadn't skewered in the shows they'd grown up as children. Way too many 80s-00s kids growing up into this, even after being warned about such things:

I feel like this could be an actual indie arcade game though. Like should @wonderville.nyc have something like this? No. Would I be shocked if they did? Not particularly.

on netflix at least, they leave the Detective Conan post-OP sponsorship pauses in, which inevitably leads my brain to fill in the blanks, which leads my body to do this kind of dumb shit 😀

TBH, even with a revision, the back guitar slot entry on my double guitar holder is a little narrow, but it just fits from the right angle, so as long as I'm not going for it all the time, it's fine. Good work considering modeled it in Blender having not used 3D software much since POV-Ray.

So, I already have thoughts on what I would do for future revisions (deeper channels with convex prongs) but I'll still try putting it up tomorrow & seeing what I think of it. Temporarily slotting my guitars in and holding from the back myself, I'm pleasantly surprised by how tough the PLA is.

RIP Guy Moon, the composer for several series, including Fairly OddParents (and the rest of Butch Hartman's work), 2 Stupid Dogs, Cow and Chicken, Ned's Declassified, Big Time Rush, Back in the Barnyard, and many more.
He was 63 years old.

A Haruhi sequel that just starts in-medias-res with Kyon & Haruhi being office worker burn outs in their late 30s would be the coldest manga/light novel/anime ever produced. "Life After Chuunibyou."
