Lollllllll damage control.

If 2025 was a character.

We used to say “variants” when talking about new strains of lethal viruses…

There’s gonna be a Black Mirror episode about people refinancing their homes to buy the fiftieth variant of an album.

Our version of “bless your heart.”

Transformative is the perfect word for Trump because it sounds like a compliment but isn’t actually inherently positive He’s undeniably been transformative! Just transformatively dogshit

The man in charge of our nations health thinks foreskins cause autism and babies come out of the placenta.

Celebrate the Nobel Peace Prize results. Release the Epstein files. Stream Bad Bunny. Have a few small beers. Happy Friday!

For every A-list director saying “we have to accept AI,” I hope that we see just as many of these. Thanks for leading the charge, del Torro.

Timeline cleanse.

Gosh I’d love this.

Thankful to live, work and play on the unceded traditional territory of the Coastal Salish peoples, and that I have obligations to care for this land.

25 years later and the album and era still holds up as an indisputable part of the Y2K time capsule, and it remains just as much of a cultural touch point. On 25 years, the chart data of 34 variants will be remembered like a monthly sales record of essential oils.

Chip on my shoulder that she didn’t get a Grammy for Stone Cold in 2015.
