Separating the art from the artist is something that makes my metaphorical skin from my MA in lit crawl. Considering art out of context should only be done by professionals, and certainly not by jackasses trying to shirk the responsibility of consuming art from problematic sources.

I’m going to start assuming Scrooge was a loan shark, and that he often made Bob Cratchit go out and do collections. One time Cratchit and Tiny Tim were jumped by a guy Bob had to shake down, and Bob accidentally killed the guy with Tim’s cane. Luckily Tiny Tim ain’t no snitch.

Last year my coldest run barely dipped below 11, and the very coldest are rarely outside of the second half of January. Plus there was a lot of frozen snowmelt to deal with, so that sucked. But my back pain was less.

Watching an English YouTuber (Atomic Shrimp) try to make a maximally festive Christmas Pie. A monstrous, multilayer thing. Great looking, yeah, but at one point, while making one part of it, he said it was like making “bubble and squeak” and my stupid brain got fully distracted.

What a miserable time. I jogged about a quarter mile before turning on the watch, in spurts, just to warm my back up. Got my first mile in about 12:25, not bad considering how hard it was to get going, but that was all I had. I jog ran, jogged, walked a touch.

Metroid Prime 4 isn’t too bad. There were big sections where I had fun. But the open world area is shockingly barren, the motorcycle pretty useless, and while the humans are NOWHERE near as bad as the nut jobs are claiming, they contribute nothing. Also, where’s the damn space jump?
