One of my fondest memories of this past year is a close friend hugging me when I gave her a gift for her birthday. She does NOT like being touched, nor touching others - not even a handshake. She told me I was the first person she ever hugged. Still makes me smile.

Set my phone display to greyscale and it definitely makes a difference as my ADHD brain now turns to it much less for stimulation.

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

A comment from RFK Jr. from earlier this year that stuck with me:
“Autistic people will never be able to write poetry”
Me, an autistic person who not only started writing poetry at 11 years old but won a nationwide secondary school poetry contest at 14 with a poem I’d written a year earlier:

That debate was an absolute dumpster fire and it’s understandable Mehdi wouldn’t have done it if he’d known what kinds of folks would be there - but I’m still glad he let whackos like Connor “I’m a fascist, heehee” Whatshisname and Richard “white people are Native American” Black talk.
From getting Piers Morgan to agree with him on the man-made famine in Gaza to debating outright fascists, @mehdirhasan.bsky.social has had a wild year.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

Finally got back my copy of Jang Jin-sung’s “Dear Leader“ a few weeks ago. It was signed by the author.
Signature reads “With greetings from Jang Jin Sung “ (or, well, “Jang Jin Sung, greetings” if you want to be 100% literal).

THIS. So important.
After a decade of fretting about whether my writing was “good enough “ to impress a potential audience I remembered that I write because I enjoy writing. Now I no longer feel pressure.

Now that I mentioned language learning: If you’re learning/want to learn Japanese and like watching anime like I do (or any kind of original Japanese-language tv show really) try to watch with both audio and subtitles in Japanese.
I myself have been doing this for a few days now and it helps!

@zeteo.com Compare and contrast Donald Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder with Biden and Harris's responses to Charlie Kirk's murder.
There is no 'both sides'. Just one side - Trump - that is cruel, sociopathic, unhinged.

The way to restart the idea machine is PAY CREATIVES FOR THEIR WORK
America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

We could all use some of the bravery, and most of all, genuine compassion for his fellow citizens ,regardless of personal differences, that Mr. Ahmed al-Ahmed demonstrated in tackling and disarming one of the two Bondi Beach shooters.
A true hero.
