Random favorites continued

compelled to continue #

After the 2025 in review post, I kept thinking about all of the great media and books I consumed in 2025 and wanted to post some of my favorites.

Without much introduction…

favorite books (in no particular order) #

book cover for everything is tuberculosis

Everything is Tuberculosis, by John Green

Touching, informative, educational. Sad that something so easily solvable, which doesn’t exist in wealthy countries, can be such a dramatic, unrepentant asshole in others.

The rise of the follow up

first post of 2026, weeeeeeee #

After reading my view of the worst Star War, Mark had some follow up that I thought was worth its own post.

Enjoy.

Once more 'round the sun

2025, a year in review #

It’s the last day of 2025 so I thought it important to think about and share some of the highlights this year. It’s been a great year despite all of the bullshit happening with the current administration.

A goofy man, oh wait that's me!  I promise to be gentle.

Let’s get started. Rewind back to the start of the year. I promise to be gentle.

The rise of the worst

I don’t remember it being this bad #

The last few nights I’ve been working through fan edits of the sequel Star Wars movies. The first one, The Force Awakens (Restructured), was good. The fan edit made is better. The second one, The Last Jedi (Legendary), was okay, the fan edit didn’t make it much better. The third one, The Rise of Skywalker (Ascendant), was really bad. I dare say the worst of all of the Stars War. The fan edit did nothing at all to make it better. It’s really just that bad.
