My first word for 2026 is "Happiness". Also, What do you do for you, cool pictures from London Tube stations, iPhone typos might not be your fault, Pargin on the Just coffee, black meme, CPB shuts down, Maggie's link to shrimp having fun, and an essay I wrote on using pen and paper in the new year.
