Sincerely, everyone: I hope 2026 brings you much love and hope and joy. As stupid and difficult as this world can be, I believe in you. Hold close to people you love and create good things in the face of ignorance and hate. Fight on. Stand up. Lean on one another. Peace to you, friends. Peace.

So its 530 in the morning and I'm getting ready for work when I sneeze and a gutteral voice from the basement says Bless you, which is a weird way to find out you've got Basement Goblins because they're usually not so polite.

ALL vacant property should be used to house people. Have an unused building? Great! we have a bunch of unhoused people ready to move in
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Family can be a complicated thing for some people, I know, but if you were lucky enough to get or find or create a good one, count yourself among the blessed.

Christmas is hard for many. The years roll, the ghosts at the table increase. We’re haunted by the absence of voices, of laughter engines who drank and ate with us. This can be day of remembrance rituals. For what it’s worth, Hooklanders near and far are in my candles today. Be gentle on yourselves.

I got orange juice in a small cut on my hand and briefly spoke the Language of Angels offering me a brief glimpse into the Room of Doors that allow access to all realms of eternity.

Sometimes I won't even bother looking into a particular issue to form an informed opinion about it, opting instead to see who is supporting it and basing my opinion on that.
Oh that dude is an irredeemable prick, so if he likes this idea, I'm out.

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most.
