I'm going to miss the non-stop coverage of the Artemis II Mission once the crew splashdown tonight. Also, every time I hear them say, "Go/No-Go" I hear this fantastic track from Public Service Broadcasting in my head

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

Just catching up on The Pitt. 1. It’s amazing. 2. Doctors, Nurses, EMTs etc. do not get paid enough.
Michael B. Jordan should get two of them lil Oscars trophies. One for each brother
Didn’t finish it. Didn’t want to. I hate that it won.
The best picture was Sinners and not that mid-tier tedious shite they awarded
Yes!
Beautiful!
I want Sinners to win in every category. It’s a magnificent film and everyone who worked on it deserves to be celebrated and laden with awards
I love the sound of thunder echoing in NYC. I miss the wide-open roar of storms in Australia but have a deep appreciation for the way it sounds here.
One of our cats has a case of the zoomies tonight. He’s a little bit freaked out by the lightning
So fucking tired of these disgraceful people, their racism, their sadism, and their lies
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Former Trump envoy Keith Kellogg: “Zelenskyy is a tough son of a bitch. He's stubborn. He has his opinion. He's unafraid to say that. He knows how to use media.
“We in the United States have not seen a leader like him since Abraham Lincoln.”
This is so helpful. I’m grateful to you for writing this
The number one thing I've been hearing from people in tech lately is, basically, "How the hell am I supposed to work in this industry anymore?" Though most folks are kind of afraid to say it out loud. So I wrote about how to think about it: www.anildash.com/2026/01/05/a...
Zelensky arrived in Kupyansk, which Putin claims is "under Russian control."
Ooh!
The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.
On your deathbed, you will probably not be thinking, "at least I totally owned those trolls on social media," and if you are it's unlikely there will be anyone there to hold your hand as you go
OMG I've rewatched the Stargate shows so many times so this is ridiculously exciting news :D
That is gorgeous!
Snow ☃️
Samesies! I keep checking for snow from our window but nothing so far
There were 3 of them hovering since 6.30 this morning for an hour. I can still hear at least one
A reminder: AI is a bad translator--it will give you in a pinch the meaning (if it doesn't get hopelessly confused) , but i will not create something that reads like a book.
That's why we have professionals.
(And everyone who's reread ai translations knows that it's faster going to rewrite them)
