I don't think Henry kissing a boy in KCD2 makes it historical. Frankly, we homos have been everywhere, always. What makes this game factually historically inaccurate, thus utterly unplayable, is the lack of vampires.

Watching Beetlejuice for the first time since hitting double digits and when was you bitches gonna tell me Alec Baldwin is kinda hot in it.

WHAT IS THIS?! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

I wonder if there is some innate Englishness within me that forces me to start any novel or short story by referring to the weather. I can't comprehend of any other way to begin a story. The weather is the most important detail.

Reading up on Anita Bryant has made me sad. Human rights are divine, and though she tried to deny me mine, the story of her struggle against the Christian right is heartbreaking. We are all human, and we all have rights. It's a shame she didn't see that.

Happy New Year. 25, try to be better.

A few weeks ago, I suggested bluesky needs a breaking news feature that creates a temporary feed. Trending is a little bit in that direction but I feel like it's not enough. Next we need 2 AI working on those feeds, one to collate the feed one to actively fact check the source.

Round where I live has been super foggy since Christmas Eve, and I am so happy. I was born for these Silent Hill vibes, and I'm tormented enough to THRIVE, but not so tormented that I die.

First Christmas without my dad. Desperately sad, in the quiet, lonely moments. Made an incredible dinner. Dad would have loved it, even if it was duck, not lamb (we are very much a fuck turkey family). Duck is the lamb of white meat, dad! Think of our cholesterol!

It's not even half 8 on Christmas morning and my cat is already being a monster. She's just walked in a room then walked back out immediately. I'm actually the monster. This time of the morning, I hate everyone and their lifestyles.

Finally completed Final Fantasy XV. Won't be doing that again. There's a reason it took me almost a decade to complete. Core loop of the game was fine, if bloated as you hit your 80th side quest. Combat was naff. Story, okay. The railroad, from what felt like midgame, to the finals gave me whiplash.

My toxic trait is that I've seen God's Own Country so now when I hear the f-slur I react like this.

Its that time of year when I rediscover that eggnog has egg in it. Even worse, sometimes it's raw. No thanks.

It was 11°c last night. I'm very unhappy about this new style of winter. I rarely need a 2nd layer or a jumper when going out, and the sky is way more miserable than I typically enjoy. I'm uncomfortable with how few commas are in this paragraph. But I need to kick my comma addiction.

My cat has busted 3 keyboards in the last few years. At some point the common keyboard became her favourite spot to linger, to convalesce, and my bank hasn't been happy since thar say. It's possibly important to note my bank accounts have never been happy.

I just remembered the plague of loitering clowns from a few years back. Gosh, there was a time when the world was going right.

The company behind the scam-baiting granny said the AI technology can keep scammers on the phone for 40 minutes at a time, keeping them away from real people.

How many of them were killed by the coastguard?

The toppling of Assad has me thinking about Handmaid's Tale.

Simone Segouin, the 18 year old French Resistance fighter during the liberation of Paris in August 1944. She passed in 2023 at 97 years old Fight like a girl!!! #TheAlliedForces

One sad thing about bluesky being so populated now is that I don't see as much art, if any. Also, the comics just aren't showing up like they used to. I loved the grumpy little girl trying to make sense of 1950s America.

I miss his beautiful smile.
