A new screenshot of the same Miriam Webster, dictionary post on blue sky, this time stopped on the word “slapdash“… because I didn’t read the instructions clearly the first time. Instead of pausing the video at a “random” point, I took a screenshot of the GIF while it’s running revealing my true word for 2026–because my first attempt was indeed…slapdash. The gif is magic!
A screenshot of a post by Miriam Webster dictionary where they ask you to pause a video of rapidly flashing words, and the word it stops on is your word for the year. The word in my screenshot from the paused GIF is: laughable

A photo through the passenger side window of a moving car. Past a concrete barrier we see San Francisco Bay looking North toward San Francisco from the 92 Hwy. In the mid-right of the photo, above the water and the low clouds hanging close to the horizon we see in the air a white shape—ignoring as we must the accidental double-reflection of the top of the driver’s commuter coffee mug above and below the shape. If we were to zoom in we would see, just out of focus, the shape appears to be a long white cylinder hanging in the air (exactly the way bricks don’t) parallel to the horizon, but headed at an oblique angle to the viewer so that the cylinder is foreshortened. Further analysis reveals its nature: a lighter-than-air dirigible, longer than a blimp — in essence, a Zeppelin. A sight not seen in these skies to the best of this author’s knowledge in more than 10 years…

A man looking furiously off-camera with clocks behind him — it is a news set and it is our man Howard Beale, the mad prophet of TV News from the seminal movie ‘Network’. If you’ve…heard the movie, even though he has his lips tightly sealed in this photo, you know what he’s thinking: “I want you to get MAD!!”
an illustration of a ‘shooting’ 5-pointed star trailing a rainbow, reminiscent of the old NBC public service tagline, ‘The More You Know…’, but the star has a ‘cute’ smiling face…with tears streaming from its eyes, smiling through the pain, only here the banner reads, “I KNOW TOO MUCH”

An old-ass motorhome parked on a desert hillside with the two driver-side tires downhill and propped up on like rocks or whatever was at hand. Only a dirt fire road in the background and some rough clearing under the motorhome. It’s pretty bleak tbh but part of me is like…how much?
An excerpt from an essay by A.R. Moxon, the whole of which you should definitely read, but this excerpt reads: “…government and the high courts, all you need to do in order to be a Nazi is just be willing to go along, and it turns out most people are willing to go along with whatever. And after a while, it’s just the air you breathe and the water you swim in, and it takes effort to *not* be a Nazi, and what it takes is the willingness and bravery to sabotage Nazis. And who likes effort? Fascists know this, by the way. They always do. They’re always looking for ways to move out the margins of permission when it comes to harming and controlling people, to make normal today what wasn’t normal yesterday. [Highlighted by me – Ed.] What I’m saying is, we have to realize that we’re living in an increasingly fascist land, and start to understand what it means to be antifascist people in a fascist land, and start to think about the effort that will take. We are going to have to understand that we are dealing with people who have fundamentally and foundationally broken the social contract, which means we are going to have to treat them as if they have broken the social contract. This means we need to treat people of bad faith as if they are people of bad faith, to begin with. And this means acting in bad faith toward them. This means lying to them, as a start. I’m not kidding.”
