Today I realized that I do not feel good when I think about that girl and I think that's proof positive that I'm gonna leave it alone.

New theories about the existence of God will always proliferate; the only way to protect your own beliefs is “to treat faith as a decision that transcends scientific proof,” Elizabeth Bruenig argues. She discusses her spiritual journey:

How to Believe in God

Scientific evidence for faith misunderstands faith.

I remember everything you say and how you say it because I remember the way it makes me feel. So don't make me feel like I saw or heard something I didn't. Or is it the case that you don't know how your words and actions land?

I very seriously lament not having the opportunity to experience young love, either in high school or in my mid-20's, because of my geographic circumstances. It looks so precious from afar when I see younger folks who currently have it. I was chasing people and situations I shouldn't have.

I think I finally started down the road of defying emotion with logic by discovering there was no logic behind the emotion. And just be present no matter what. Damn the limerence. Because the emotion needs logic. Both ways.

I did not build a routine for 2025 because I was so worried about money the entire year. But I think I built up a good cushion to start 2026 with and have a routine.

I understand why Talley and Twine needs to put their name on the watch's face but if they had a better font for their name, I would buy a lot of their product in a heartbeat. The designer in me just cannot get past that plain narrow font.

This could've been avoided by not busting a nut in a woman that's not his wife. But common sense isn't common.

I'm actually going to be more intentional in 2026 about finding these spaces where I can build my community. It's been incidental at best this entire time and this year I just reached a breaking point. The feeling I had with my friends in LA is what I'm searching for here.

Ben Reilly @therocfiles.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

I realize that when I'm hanging with friends in other places, the playbook works to a T. Your friends know people who likely have the same energy as you. In Chicago, the people I know are on a different wavelength so no wonder my stats are trash at home. We're not aligned.

My useless talent reared itself again this past weekend by meeting another quality woman in another city/state in which I do not live. I almost threw my hands up in frustration just now but as I reflect, I realize I'm not hanging around people on the same vibration as me here in Chicago.

2025 was a weirdly successful yet lacking year for romance and the prospect of it. My heart is tired.

One definition of awkward is when you call your credit card company to cancel a flight and they ask you why you can't go, but you stop just short of answering that you and your girlfriend broke up after planning to go on Christmas vacation together 🫠

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

Nobody is beating Nike in the immediate post-Championship commercial game. And the Kendrick was a nice touch considering the opponent and who was watching from a suite.

I mean I don't think this cast was particularly redeemable in the way that would facilitate a competitive race for AFP. Felt like a very laissez faire season of contestants who never put stakes in the ground

I think we are forgetting that Vince's poor jury management was a side effect of his poor STRATEGIC gameplay. He was manipulated (or chickened out) into making the worst decision for his game at every turn, and didn't own it. He never deserved a win even if the jury could be wiped of emotions #BB27

my fave part below because YES but this whole interview is so emblematic of why she's great: gracious, confident, & earnest with a sprinkle of bonkers on top 🥰

Were you surprised when you got to the jury and you heard the questions for Vince and saw their reactions to his answers? Were you surprised that they were so clearly not feeling his game?
No. [Laughs/ No, because people have been saying for weeks that he was playing my game. And truthfully, he was. I had a lot of strategy in Vinny's HOHs. I learned a lot about him and I knew how to properly communicate with him and kind of weigh out the options, but I weighed them a little bit more in my favor and it just so happened to work. I mean, I got his number two on the block, for real.

Were the jurors bitter against Vince? Absolutely. Does that impact the validity of Ashley’s win? Absolutely NOT. All jurors are bitter that they aren’t in the F2 chairs, the whole point is, can you convince them to vote for you despite this - Ashley was able to, Vince failed #BB27

a few years from now, newly minted bb fans will watch the #bb27 edit and try to post on reddit or wherever that vince was robbed and that is why i can never stop watching this show or being a part of this community because someone needs to be there who lived through it to tell them they are so wrong
