I was today years old when I learned that Nine Inch Nails is only officially a band of two people. And, for some reason, despite those two composing many film and television scores together, they never released any of them as Nine Inch Nails until Tron: Ares.

What a horrible thing we keep doing, building spaces for communities, only to torch them so a small handful of millionaires can become billionaires, displacing the people who made them rich in the first place.

This is how enjambment can work in a poem. Bridge 77 on the Macclesfield Canal allows a horse to cross the canal without having to untie it from the canal boat.

"Funding for the Child Care Development Fund and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) will be held back. The child care money is used to subsidize care for low-income families, and TANF is monthly cash assistance for very poor..” #Pinks #MomSky #ProudBlue www.axios.com/2026/01/05/t...

liberals need to think long and hard about what these guys consider communism before they start thinking they're safe

This image is from Birzeit University in the West Bank which was raided by Israel today using live ammunition and tear gas. Over 40 people were injured, mostly students. More than 8,000 students are trapped inside. But it’s controversial to talk about scholasticide.

We need to grapple with the reality that we're very close to living in a police state. "Officers repeatedly pressed her on whether she was Venezuelan, what her connection to Venezuela was, and why she had attended the protest. Plichta claimed they tried to get her to identify other demonstrators."

The fact that I only got one minor scrape while repairing our dryer is certainly a win.

I implore you to hit up CVS and get your flu shot. Please don’t game it with whatever else you heard. It’s real serious and we don’t gave any public health allies in the government now.

"Some of my best friends are international laws."

wtf

A friend just had her checking account wiped out by her family's new health insurance premium (which went from $890 a month to $2800). The thing is, she'd cancelled the policy in early December, assuming it would also cancel the autopay. Nope.

my face when someone tells me "Christopher Nolan REFUSES to use 'CGI'"

also the NYT adding the giving-the-benefit-of-the-doubt-phrase “Seeming to Pivot” to the headline as if this isn’t a textbook example of a complete 180

Random House Worlds really stepped up the marketing for @mikechenwriter.bsky.social’s upcoming Star Wars novel:

In the first couple of minutes of Avatar: Fire and Ash, I was not into the high frame rate. Then, I noticed the frame rate kept changing for some scenes. At the end though, it was the most comfortable 3D viewing experience I’ve ever had. The high frame rate really prevented eye strain.

Wag the Dog is a movie that came out in 1997. It stars Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman. It’s available to rent or buy on most digital platforms (no idea about streaming availability in your country) as well as DVD and Blu Ray. Worth watching right now.

Script for calling reps. (Also, when they do 2, 3, and 4, don't whine about "strongly worded letters")

As ever, when fascists talk openly about their aggressively expansionist plans - believe them. They mean what they say.

Speak Truth....

Well this is awkward 😬

1112 days to go. #bigorangefuckupcountdown

The New York Times has just confirmed that 40 civilians died in President Trump's invasion. This is the aftermath in one area

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

“America is an oil company with an army” - George Carlin

No one is really in charge.

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.

AP: “Trump said Saturday that the United States would run Venezuela at least temporarily and tap its vast oil reserves to sell to other nations… Legal experts immediately raised questions about whether the operation was lawful…” apnews.com/article/vene...

Call your reps. Even if you think it won’t matter. I’m in fucking Texas, and I still bugged the fuck out of them today

The casualties already coming in. Grandmothers in their apartments….

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Called my reps.

Don’t use AI and don’t let anyone you know use it casually. Dangerous technology.

U.S. Nazi regime to put elected President of Venezuela on trial as part of plot to steal Venezuela’s resources

So, our government really just bombed Venezuela and kidnapped their president and first lady?

Also we really need to encourage any official accounts (particularly gov’t accounts and representatives) to get off that site. It’s abhorrent when they not only remain there but remain ONLY there.

hey this is a good time to repost my Bernie movie shots from 2021 - i'm proud of these

CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.” SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.” CNN: “No, every day care is locked.” SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔 He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

It’s hard to rate Metroid Prime 4 because the things that work REALLY WORK. But the things that don’t REALLY REALLY DON’T. The majority of the game is good, I’d say but certain bosses are very annoying, especially the final boss. So the game leaves you with a meh feeling when the credits roll.

Wait, so you're telling me the maned wolf *isn't* a goofy but lovable character from an Ice Age movie...?
