Want to shout out to one of my favorite webcomics, Gunnerkrigg Court, for making it to 100 chapters. It's been an incredible ride reading so far, and I'm excited to see where it goes! Congrats @gunnerkrigg.bsky.social !

Now that the DoD has awarded a contract for an AI that very recently proclaimed itself, 'MechaHitler', it feels kind of pointless to write sci-fi stories as a warning to humanity.

The Scooby-Doo live-actiom movie (2002) was unforgivably bad, but not gonna lie, the Man With the Hex really slaps.

Finally sat down to listen to the entirety of Ghost's Skeleta album. It defied expectations, and I can't stop listening to it on repeat. I haven't had this strong of positive feelings towards an album as a whole in a very long time. I give this 6/5 stars on the Sykes scale.

D&D Tip #7: As much as I love Baldur's Gate 3, it's only the tip of the iceberg as far as D&D goes. There's so much more out there to explore. And with homebrewing, the sky's the limit!

I'd be more impressed by Cory Booker's speech if he was actually fillibustering legislation. The Democrats still have yet to actually stop anything.

Hegseth, who doesn't believe women should be in combat, shown here boarding an aircraft guarded by elite NAOC security from the 55th SFS. Each of them has significantly more combat training than Hegseth, and will absolutely ruin your day if you try to fuck with their jet.

What's Tesla's target audience these days? I don't think there's many people left that like both Elon Musk and EV's. Kind of mutually exclusive likes for most people by this point.

Are there any Federation crews that haven't time travelled? You'd think Starfleet would consider it a routine matter by now.

And as expected, "moderate" and centrist Democrats are quickly revealing their true opinion of our trans friends. Never trust a politician just because they have a (D) or (R) by their name.

Finally we have our first piece of good news for 2025, Ghost announced an upcoming album! It's called Skeleta, and the first track they released from it, Satanized, is fantastic! Can't wait to listen to the rest!

It's weird to think that the existence exoplanets weren't confirmed until after I was born. But also very cool that the first two were called Draugr and Poltergeist, which orbits a pulsar (essentially an undead star) called Lich.

The only thing wrong with Avatar using the term 'unobtanium' is that now everyone associates what had been a perfectly good engineering joke with Dances With Space Wolves. #avatar #unobtanium

Life Tip #23: Never turn your back to the ocean. #23.1: Even if you're looking at an especially marvelous crab. Got a very wet and somewhat painful reminder of this the other day, and in the process I'm pretty sure I gave a nearby teenager a lifelong fear of the ocean. #lifetips #oceansafety

Life Tip #22: When tying a tie, know the difference between an Eldredge knot and an eldritch knot. You'll know you fucked up when the job interviewer loses control of their faculties as they witness things mankind was not meant to gaze upon. #lifetips
