Christmas gift to myself was a nice high end dedicated audio player! I'm getting rid of all subscription services and focusing on offline media, this is full of FLACs of cool 2025 albums I bought directly from the artists.

The Camp Randall field storming after Wisconsin upset Washington in November came on a night when a record 40% of tickets went unused.

Wisconsin football attendance hits record lows as no-shows surge in 2025
Winning can cure attendance issues, and the Badgers haven't been doing enough of it to keep fans coming to Camp Randall Stadium in numbers previously seen.

My favorite Wisconsin Sports team had a game tying penalty shot with 18 seconds left in the National Championship, followed by an OT win, so I can't complain too much. But I feel for you all.
Wisconsin sports fans got an NLCS, so hard to call 2025 an abject disaster across the board. But the Bucks circling the drain, UW disaster, MU basketball cliff-dive, Packers promising season sabotaged by injury (presumably) ... been a long time since a year down this bad (complimentary?)
Don't even have the heart to look up how many days until baseball opening day for the obligatory snark about the next sport up.

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

Because if you care about securely owning a movie that you love--as opposed to "owning" it only until a license agreement over which you have no control expires without warning--you need a DVD or Blu-ray. The hardware may be yesterday; the concern is very much of this moment.
Why do (us) old people want to burden Gen Z with our nostalgia for an antique piece of hardware in the first place?
A (quite) young movie lover said to me recently, "Not everybody can afford a DVD player," and I said "How much do you think a DVD player costs?"
He said, "I don't know, like $500?"
Those of us who advocate physical media are maybe not doing the best job of messaging.

Rural Minnesota is unsafe compared to the city.
Olmsted County Sheriff Kevin Torgerson said the shooting happened around 5 a.m. Friday at Stewartville High School, as the school’s wrestling team was preparing to go to a wrestling meet. Stewartville is about 12 miles south of Rochester, Minnesota.

The closure comes on the heels of two others in the past two weeks, Schram Haus Brewery in Chaska and Invictus Brewing in Blaine, as breweries nationwide grapple with steadily declining sales and consumption of beer and alcohol 🍺
Fair State Brewing announces it will close after this weekend
The Minneapolis brewery told its members it was no longer a “fully functional business.”
