"伊利斯摊开双手：“我不能告诉你要做什么，弗兰克。去做你想要做的事情，而不是他们告诉你去做的事。别人的命令从未打垮我。我花了五千年的时间服务他人，然而我从来没有发现自己的价值。给我献祭的动物在哪里？没有人会麻烦地给我献上一只。我的神庙在哪里？他们从来没有造过。好吧，没关系！在这间合作社里我找到了宁静。你可以留下和我们在一起，如果你想的话，可以和我一样成为一个R.O.F.L主义者。”"

"“我们不回去看看黑兹尔的情况吗？”他问道。 “她应该没事——至少我希望如此。”弗兰克说，“她是个地下活动的好手。继续往前走！我们就快到那儿了。” “就快到哪儿了？” 朱恩轻声窃笑：“条条大路通那里，孩子。你应该知道的。” “拘留所吗？”波西问。 “罗马，孩子。”老妇人说道，“罗马。”"

I Go Down with the Ship: Great episode that highlights just how different Clarice and Percy are. Whereas Percy prefers to do things as a team, Clarice is more the kind of person who likes to go it alone, and is much more impulsive. There's some nice action scenes #PercyJackson

Media — December 2025
Catching up on a media post right after a very busy January came to an end. Not much gaming this time of year.
Reading
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
We finished The Last Olympian. I think it was a difficult end to the quintet because so many things had to wrap up, and for YA, with a largely happy ending. We decided not to move on to the next quintet in the series since my son is actively reading it himself.
Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn
I forget just how much lore there is across all of the lands; I mostly know just the Sword Coast because of how it’s featured in games and campaigns I’ve been in. Never read the novels. Still gave me some ideas that might be fun to work into games.
This is a collection of interrelated short stories by Ursula Whitcher, someone I know from college (we played D&D together my freshman year; she was the paladin who betrayed the party!) and found out about from the alumni magazine. It has some interesting Steppe culture elements and interrogates whether you should let a machine intelligence make a life or death decision. Good sci-fi! Also some lesbian romance in almost all of the stories.
This is an interesting story about the two people on the cover of the ’70s edition of Mastermind, which (in Super variety) was the one my family had growing up. Obligatory McSweeney’s article.
Racial Slurs and Nazi Symbols — Inside the Complaint that Shut Down the Harvard Salient
Sadly not that surprising that a bunch of these Harvard conservatives really just want to be able to say the N word without consequences. They’ve all been online edge lords for years.
AI
I continue to read a bunch of articles about AI models and their impacts. Here are a few that struck me as particularly interesting.
- An Artful Answer to the AI Crisis in Education — A teen artist’s perspective
- Large Language Mistake — They can’t think, but the sales pitch is that they can
- A Dedicated Fact-Failing Machine — Scalzi documents how all of the popular agents make up facts about him in response to questions.
- The People Outsourcing Their Thinking to AI — This level of addiction is wild.
Watching
The lead up to Christmas is, of course, mostly Christmas movie watching time. We have our all time favorites but also tried a few new ones, for better or for worse. A Merry Little Ex-Mas was bad (except for Jameela Jamil’s character) and Oh. What. Fun. was somehow worse despite a pretty all-star cast. Just confusing plots and terrible people. We almost stopped watching.
For New Years Eve we did a triple header of Sister Act, Sister Act 2, and School of Rock; the theme of course being teaching through the power of song. All pretty funny; the latter I had forgotten he lies about being a teacher and yet faces no consequences. It hits different now as a middle school parent. 😂 I’m not certain I had ever seen Sister Act 2; it was not immediately familiar. Wild that Lauryn Hill was in it early in her career.
Speaking of Christmas movies, this comedy from a few years ago was pretty good if at times a little weird. The way the curse manifested included some imagery (like with the cows) that made me wonder what the writers are into. Not sure it’s good enough to add into the annual rotation but we’d probably watch it again. Eddie Murphy occupies the overly competitive dad role well.
The Eras Tour — The Final Show
We had to make a Christmas exception for a new Taylor release. I already wrote about how we are briefly a few dim pixels in this concert film, which is fun. It was nice to see the TTPD set filmed up close. I really hope she releases a concert album at some point, there are live differences I really like. Overall this movie seemed to have a different mix than the previous concert film.
We noticed that in one of the sets she had her boot colors switched on different nights, so you can see when they edited angles for the same song, sometimes cutting every few seconds!
This was a super interesting documentary. Obviously it casts Taylor in a very positive light but touches on feeling like she failed her fans through terrorist threats. They show a bit of her relationship with Travis and the making of TLoaS during the tour. I think it also really shows off her skills and how well she knows her oeuvre when she’s playing around with her acoustic set mashups for every show.
The highlight was centering the stories of the dancers and singers and band and where they all are in their careers and how life changing the tour was. Definitely did a good job of showing how much diversity was valued in the casting.
There were some cool technical details but I could have used even more about a production of this scale; it wasn’t that kind of series though.
How to Sound Design Your Life
Clever short film.

We finally binged the second season on Netflix before it was removed. Prodigy never grabbed the rest of the family, partly the animation style and partially Dal’s attitude. I think they successfully pulled off the most complex season arc Trek has ever done (sorry, Disco) with a ton of love for past Trek, especially Voyager. I don’t know how the timey-wimey stuff would land for kids but it was pretty neat. Sad it just kinda ended… maybe we’ll hear about their future adventures in other media?

I think it also really shows off her skills and how well she knows her oeuvre when she’s playing around with her acoustic set mashups for every show.
The highlight was centering the stories of the dancers and singers and band and where they all are in their careers and how life changing the tour was. Definitely did a good job of showing how much diversity was valued in the casting.
There were some cool technical details but I could have used even more about a production of this scale; it wasn’t that kind of series though.

Clever short film.

We finally binged the second season on Netflix before it was removed. Prodigy never grabbed the rest of the family, partly the animation style and partially Dal’s attitude. I think they successfully pulled off the most complex season arc Trek has ever done (sorry, Disco) with a ton of love for past Trek, especially Voyager. I don’t know how the timey-wimey stuff would land for kids but it was pretty neat. Sad it just kinda ended… maybe we’ll hear about their future adventures in other media?

Media — December 2025
Catching up on a media post right after a very busy January came to an end. Not much gaming this time of year.
Reading
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
We finished The Last Olympian. I think it was a difficult end to the quintet because so many things had to wrap up, and for YA, with a largely happy ending. We decided not to move on to the next quintet in the series since my son is actively reading it himself.
Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn
I forget just how much lore there is across all of the lands; I mostly know just the Sword Coast because of how it’s featured in games and campaigns I’ve been in. Never read the novels. Still gave me some ideas that might be fun to work into games.
This is a collection of interrelated short stories by Ursula Whitcher, someone I know from college (we played D&D together my freshman year; she was the paladin who betrayed the party!) and found out about from the alumni magazine. It has some interesting Steppe culture elements and interrogates whether you should let a machine intelligence make a life or death decision. Good sci-fi! Also some lesbian romance in almost all of the stories.
This is an interesting story about the two people on the cover of the ’70s edition of Mastermind, which (in Super variety) was the one my family had growing up. Obligatory McSweeney’s article.
Racial Slurs and Nazi Symbols — Inside the Complaint that Shut Down the Harvard Salient
Sadly not that surprising that a bunch of these Harvard conservatives really just want to be able to say the N word without consequences. They’ve all been online edge lords for years.
AI
I continue to read a bunch of articles about AI models and their impacts. Here are a few that struck me as particularly interesting.
- An Artful Answer to the AI Crisis in Education — A teen artist’s perspective
- Large Language Mistake — They can’t think, but the sales pitch is that they can
- A Dedicated Fact-Failing Machine — Scalzi documents how all of the popular agents make up facts about him in response to questions.
- The People Outsourcing Their Thinking to AI — This level of addiction is wild.
Watching
The lead up to Christmas is, of course, mostly Christmas movie watching time. We have our all time favorites but also tried a few new ones, for better or for worse. A Merry Little Ex-Mas was bad (except for Jameela Jamil’s character) and Oh. What. Fun. was somehow worse despite a pretty all-star cast. Just confusing plots and terrible people. We almost stopped watching.
For New Years Eve we did a triple header of Sister Act, Sister Act 2, and School of Rock; the theme of course being teaching through the power of song. All pretty funny; the latter I had forgotten he lies about being a teacher and yet faces no consequences. It hits different now as a middle school parent. 😂 I’m not certain I had ever seen Sister Act 2; it was not immediately familiar. Wild that Lauryn Hill was in it early in her career.
Speaking of Christmas movies, this comedy from a few years ago was pretty good if at times a little weird. The way the curse manifested included some imagery (like with the cows) that made me wonder what the writers are into. Not sure it’s good enough to add into the annual rotation but we’d probably watch it again. Eddie Murphy occupies the overly competitive dad role well.
The Eras Tour — The Final Show
We had to make a Christmas exception for a new Taylor release. I already wrote about how we are briefly a few dim pixels in this concert film, which is fun. It was nice to see the TTPD set filmed up close. I really hope she releases a concert album at some point, there are live differences I really like. Overall this movie seemed to have a different mix than the previous concert film.
We noticed that in one of the sets she had her boot colors switched on different nights, so you can see when they edited angles for the same song, sometimes cutting every few seconds!
