I don’t know what mood to attach to my New Year’s wishes for everyone.

Happiness, prosperity, justice, vengeance, puppies

May we all find whatever it is we each need in 2025

@GGMcBG “She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye” – Don Henley

Not a new problem, though it’s gotten worse for sure

Grumbling about conservative values in today’s conversation with mom

“It’s all about running government like a business. Execs extract all value they can and dispose of the corpse.”

@GGMcBG Yep, that definitely sounds worse.

I haven’t routinely watched news since maybe 2003? The saber-rattling so popular at the time was just too much for my ear holes.

Now I read the news, and I read it when I’m ready.

@antijingoist to be fair, it’s not something I ever thought to look for. I know roughly two paragraphs of font design.

My initial thoughts on 2025

Monsters Inc:“Put that thing back where it came from or so help me” song and dance

@thegibson it was supposed to be a reply but if I fix it I’ll lose track of what I was actually supposed to be doing, so:

Impressive. Not a single one of the 2024 Steam Award winners holds any interest for me.

Providing suggestions for recovering from a kitchen prep incident (poured from the wrong side of the onion powder container) because “this is not my first jackass rodeo.”

@dandean in the extremely narrow context of paying bills, startups are better than unemployment.

but honest to goodness every other aspect of unemployment is preferable

hackers.town: 2025-01-01 Wed 17:46

@dandean Oh gods yes. Using anything from a startup is just about the worst.

It’s either useless, intrusive, or doomed.

(sometimes all three)

I have been reassured by @IamMrsGeek that no vegetables were harmed in the preparation of this meal.

Pork chops, wild rice, cheese noodles, and brown gravy

@antijingoist @theruran “orctopus” is even better, yes.

hackers.town: 2025-01-01 Wed 20:42

@antijingoist @theruran would that be ocrutopus or ocrurutopus?

hackers.town: 2025-01-01 Wed 20:43

@antijingoist @theruran I’m so glad we got that cleared up!

I’ll start with frontmatter schema and markdownlint
