Greenlanders waving off their new leader's boat following his first visit.

Even without any secret episodes, the idea of #ConformityGate makes so much sense it just becomes one interpretation of what was shown in the final episode. Intentional or otherwise, you can choose to believe that Vecna won, and that everyone’s happy endings were mindflayer-fuelled hallucinations. #StrangerThings

#LastFM 2025 stats dropped. I wasn't as obsessive as I was in 2024 in ensuring that I scrobbled absolutely everything (keeping up on mobile is still a royal pain in the arse that leads to duplicates that havr to be weeded out) so my count is down literally 50%. No surprises for top artist #ManchesterOrchestra. Fingers crossed the new album drops soonish.
