It’s easy to applaud when horrible people are attacking each other. As Sun Tzu wrote, when your enemies are making a mistake, don’t interrupt.
But don’t for a minute let them get away with framing current circumstances as “the new Trump.” They always knew he was awful… He just wasn’t awful to them.
Perhaps my favorite pastime is making my friends watch The Pest and I’ve finally found a way to turn it into content
the democrats deliberately boosted the candidacy of donald trump and ran status-quo empty suits against him and those brilliant strategies got the US two trump terms. a few oddly still have the audacity to blame the left for their lack of enthusiasm in cheering on these obviously awful plans
Setting timers on all my apps helped a little, but man my fiancé and I agreed to no video games before 8pm and I’ve finished a full video (release tomorrow!) and two books so far this year.
This photo won’t go away quickly.
The marked/unmarked framework was so important for changing how I was thinking about things like bias and public spectacles around trans identities. Glad I can send people a video about it now instead of trying to get them to just read a single chapter of a book.
🧵NEW VIDEO ESSAY: much of the focus of my post-Whipping Girl work (especially my books Sexed Up & Excluded) has been on understanding prejudice more generally & the role that "markedness" plays in how we (mis)perceive & (mis)interpret others. this video summarizes all that work! youtu.be/xiU-G0mTYVY
NYT: Federal Agents Kill a 37-Year-Old Minneapolis Man The victim was an American citizen with no criminal record who had a firearms permit, the city police chief said. Videos of the encounter contradict the federal government's description of the shooting, a New York Times analysis found.
years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose
Brandon Wade PATRON Return to Silent Hill 2026 Watched Jan 22, 2026 I want to Silent Kill myself.
legitimately quite excited to see the new silent hill movie based on its 1.9 average rating on letterboxd LMAO and now also this incredible review
If only the Duffer brothers would do the funniest thing possible in the history of secret good finale conspiracies #strangerthings
I’m on like week two of writing a little bit each day and it was pretty cool to start the new year with that already going well
Naughty Dog, having tried to eliminate crunch, is still crunching:

Tech bros have to reinvent everything we already had a solution for. “We use it for placeholder text” my friend lorem ipsum has existed and been used for placeholder text in design for longer than I have been alive
Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.
Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.
LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal.

It has that cadence to it that AI responses sometimes have. Thats…unsettling to think of ai generated scam stuff like this.
I have never been on the campus of Harvard or any other university in the last 40 years, but I did watch With Honors on Netflix. Here's what American higher education needs to do differently....(1/88)
There’s got to be a better way of saying this #books
Posts like this help too. Remembering that I am not uniquely terrible for feeling this way and that imposter syndrome comes for us all, from the million subs down to the sub 1k channels. No amount of subs or views will make me feel like I “made it” so I shouldn’t stress so much.
I screenshotted a comment on one of my videos where somebody said I helped them through a tough time in their life and I reeead it often. My Night in the Woods and Life is Strange videos get comments like that sometimes and when I want to suddenly delete everything I ever made they help a lot.
Fine 😡
Still up for me
New video about nostalgia is out now! It’s about how sometimes nostalgia for the past can help you heal and move forward in your life while guarding against the ways it can trap you in the past. Night in the Woods and Lost Records make an appearance because of course they do youtu.be/UW4qjU89_lo
“What’s rhetoric and what’s policy” gtfo. There shouldn’t be a difference between rhetoric and policy and they don’t know how to act when politicians seemingly mean what they say. What a big, slimy baby.
me have money but me can't buy access? that's unimpossible!

Last night my partner and I picked up the new @themountaingoats.bsky.social album thinking we would listen to it while doing stuff around the house. We wound up dancing around the record player till it was over. What a night.
This has not gotten much attention, but it should.
Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.
Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.
“Both phrases use the word like. This is pure gold, nobody else would ever think of this😎”
40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion
