I read about a recent study that found that people who are assholes online aren't just being bolder bc they're hiding behind a keyboard, as most of us assume them to be. Turns out they're actually *also* assholes offline who have likely been ostracized bc that shit doesn't fly in person.

Wow, sure would be pretty crazy if a ton of experts in the artificial intelligence field relentlessly warned everyone about this state of affairs being inevitable over and over for years.

"Minnesota nice" taking on a whole new meaning is one of the good things to come out of 2026 so far.

Nice thing about Minneapolis being kinda small is that it’s hard to convince us protesters are being paid because you’d go out and oh there’s that kid from my high school who played Sancho Panza in Man of La Mancha one year, and is that the pharmacist at my CVS over there, and there goes our realtor

The flag of Greenland. The bottom half is red and the top half white, and offset from the center there is a circular design with the bottom half of the circle white and the top half red. It is meant to symbolize ice caps and the sun setting over the ocean.

The only good thing about all this is that it has brought to my attention that the Greenland flag frickin’ rules. #Erfalasorput

Treating sleep apnea also prevents all sorts of pulmonary disease down the road, too. Chronic lack of oxygen is no bueno. Hope you can find a practical fix for that thing falling off the table.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.

You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.

That is all.
