I should be able to finally publish my last monthly roundup for the year tonight, and start working on my AOTY list, which I intend to publish between Christmas and new years.
This roundup for November took a bit longer to get done, but I think you'll see why. Lots of good shit on there.

If Trump and the Republicans invade Venezuela, it means America has invaded Venezuela. How did we feel about those Germans that didn’t want Hitler to invade Poland? Remember them? No— as the world saw it, it was Germany that invaded Poland, and it will be America that invades Venezuela.

The only thing I bought today was a Brother DCP-L2627DW printer, and it wasn't even on sale!
I've been considering getting a simple laserjet for a while, and even though I've only printed a handful of pages for TTRPG stuff, I'm very impressed. Wonder how long it'll be before I need more toner.

You know, at this point, I genuinely want Nvidia to go bankrupt so that we get the disruption in the PC gaming graphics space that we so desperately need.

Wait, "infidelity"? With who?? There's literally no other person involved.
I mean, sure, if your romantic partner finds out that you'd rather talk to AI than with them it'll probably hurt your feelings and permanently change how you see the person, but don't call it infidelity. That's weird.

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it

I used to work in electro retail, and I always recommended these to any customer who wanted a printer and was okay with monochrome prints. I see the advice still holds.

Presidenten i USA delte en oppfordring til å henge politikere fra opposisjonspartiet - og norske medier har ikke sagt NOE om det.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Honestly, I think MSN was terrible. I even thought so back then. I was mIRC ride or die until that platform was thoroughly outdated, and then I hated my life using MSN until Discord came around.

I was intellectually aware that the years grow shorter as you age, but when you get to the point when you start going "oh yeah, that thing happened a few months ago" and it actually turns out to be two or three years ago, that's when it gets real.

Var på Spillexpo for første gang noensinne i dag, sammen med datteren og samboer. Det er så utrolig gøy å se hvor langt nerdekulturen i Norge har kommet siden jeg var ungdom, og datteren min satte enormt pris på alt Cosplayet og kostymene rundt omkring. Minne for livet!

If this is real, then these are the most cartoonishly evil people I've ever seen.
Laura Loomer is in the Middle East, apparently with the world's campiest Andrew Mountbatten Windsor impersonator. As if that region hasn't gone through enough . . .

Can't drop Spotify just yet though. I've amassed quite a huge library of music there over the years and I have nearly 200 playlists that I need to port over somehow, so I'll have to sub to both of them for a while. Hopefully I can manage the transition within the end of the year.
Ended up trying Qobuz as a Spotify replacement. So far I have to say I'm pretty damn impressed! I actually found an album there that I was completely sure would be too obscure for a relatively unknown platform.

Fant ut i dag at det er en konto her som heter @julepolitiet.bsky.social. Vil benytte anledningen til å avkrefte eventuelle mistanker om at jeg er affiliert på noe som helst vis. 😅
Jeg elsker jula, men det er en hard regel i vår husstand at julesesongen starter første advent og slutter andre nyttårsdag. Vi konsumerer ikke juleprodukter eller har julepynt fremme utenfor denne perioden. Julestemning er en skjør greie, og den blir uthulet og svakere jo lengre den dras ut.
