New day, new way to be proud to be an American. This sarcastic post will be, I predict, evergreen. 🇺🇸 💀

Marty Supreme, 2025 - ★★★½

A man in glasses and a tank top is featured prominently, with the text Marty Supreme and smaller images of six individuals beneath.

Another safdie joint where one asshole burns his life to the ground and everyone yelling. I had a good time.

My letterboxed year in review for 2025. I watched 48 movies. Is that…good? 🍿

🙋‍♂️ I’m interested in learning #AppKit (yes, not SwiftUI). I found Resources for learning Objective-C and AppKit by Jeff Johnson, which seems great. Does anyone have any other recommendations? 💽

I saw LCD Soundsystem over the weekend. What a great show. First time seeing them. They’re a band I’ve had on my list to dig into, and never did. This is that push. 🎵

The Return of Godzilla, 1984
