As we close out 2025, it strikes me that future generations will inevitably look back upon these 2020s with actual nostalgia, and a genuine sense of loss

Read 19 books this year, which is good for me
I started 2025 finishing Cixin Liu's Three Body Problem trilogy, and went on to enjoy some great sci-fi from @tadethompson.bsky.social (Far From the Light of Heaven) and @aptshadow.bsky.social (Children of Ruin) – both excellent

Thing I can't
do quicker and

Did anyone else remember the ITV Movie Premier dub that went "Yippee-ji-yay, kemo sabe"?
In one of the Danish TV screenings of Die Hard, “yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker” was changed to “yippee-ki-yay, bror lort,” which means “yippee-ki-yay, shit brother.” In a German screening, the “motherfucker” was changed to Schweinebacke (“pig cheek”). And in Finnish... pulunnussija (“pigeon fucker”).

Thinking of live action movies so I can introduce my son to something outside of animated films. He likes Jack Black singing in the Minecraft Movie so I'm thinking School of Rock, but beyond that maybe Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Flight of the Navigator, and maybe Shanghai Noon?
Any others?

Here's a picture of a "Cheers" episode afterparty that I've always loved. Everyone's very obviously going extremely hard.

Block every account that shares AI content, even when (maybe especially when) they purport to have done it by accident. Shame them. They are liars.

If a British person responds to your opinion with a jaunty 'Fair enough!' then the conversation is over and they think you're a prick.

The only use of generative AI I’ll allow is this guy’s videos, where he’s having trouble directing “actors” to stop being weird. (They’re better on IG but that platform doesn’t want you sharing links outside of the app)

Just noticed that Channel 4 has Anna and the Apocalypse available for free. It's the Scottish Christmas zombie musical comedy you didn't know you needed. It's seriously fun.
