Damn, Lee Unkrich, this would have been a really good time for you just to shut the fuck up and not say anything at all. I wonder how the great many queer folks working at Pixar feel about your "therapy" line?

So does today's announcement mean she can't use her taxpayer-funded Flying Hanky-Panky Palace anymore?

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

My wife and I were joking about the Billionaires March earlier. I told her "You know there's only gonna be like seven people there" -- I didn't realize how prophetic I would be!

I can't believe that Crossplay wouldn't let me play this word here in 2026.

How the hell are you supposed to have a career in tech in 2026? - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

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...

Maybe he should check in with his imaginary friends. I'd bet they're probably pretty pissed off about us willy-nilly illegally effecting regime change.

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

Same! I thought I hated vegetables for the longest time, and it's just that I hated boiled or steamed vegetables, which as you say was the *only* way they were ever presented to me. I still have nightmares about boiled okra.

To: me

Good morning Kimberly! =^uwu^=;;

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble logging into Jellyfin! It looks like your SSO account was indeed deactivated on 2025 Dec 15.

According to our records,

1. On or about 2025 Nov 15, you were broken up with by ___, who noted this as a β€œfinal break” on vis event report sheet. I’m also seeing that Ve ticked the β€œUnilateral” box, meaning it isn’t contestable.
2. Our Salesforce shows you aren’t close to any other polycule members

Unfortunately, our solo-poly access policy doesn’t allow us to extend resources to unpartnered members after the 30 day grace period following your break. This includes entertainment resources (Jellyfin / *darr / nzbget / Pornhub for Enterpriseβ„’ seat), as well as O365β„’, Adobe CCβ„’, and shell access on the Nix clusters. We’re so sorry for your loss, cutie!! πŸ˜­πŸ’œ

If you have any questions, you can reply to this email to generate another ticket, or you can contact zzzoeee@ from our Partner Infra team (note: three Zs and three Es in their LDAP, we have a lot of Zoes here!)

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

I had a great conversation with my therapist today where she told me to embrace my HOT LESBIAN ENERGY, and so now I'm gonna do just that. I have to now! My therapist told me to!

While I don't expect random Bluesky votes to carry much influence, I'd just like to say on behalf of my entire family that Devin Field should absolutely be invited back for future Dropoutism. He was hilarious and felt like a seamless fit with Zac and Jacob -- bring back Dunk!

I'd love to know her honest answer to "would you, Megyn Kelly, let your actual 15-year-old daughter go on a date with a 50-year-old billionaire?" I suspect -- I certainly fucking HOPE -- the answer would be different than the shit she spouts to appease the powers that be.
