I will read every interview with Heated Rivalry writer and director Jacob Tierney because his quotes are truly a reporter's dream: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Alien has a deliberate pace: there’s time to introduce the entire scifi world and explain how the crew travels long distances, it shows everyone’s respective job on the ship and how they go about work and interact, it has long leisurely shots, and then the Alien shit happens and it’s still two hours

This is just what you like to see on here

you know stranger things is over because like four times they had characters say "...and then finally, this whole thing will be over" once and it would have been a wink from the writers; more than that and they clearly cannot wait to move on

Mac users: do you do the long-click on a word to pop up its definition? Do you also find the built-in dictionary to be a bit lackluster? You can add your own dictionaries! Let me explain how to add the Webster's 1913 edition, which is one of my favorites.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

i'm pretty sure she had no lines in season 5 she hadn't already had in previous seasons

OBAA was an excellent use of music; the Stranger Things finale meanwhile felt like someone was pitching endings and instead they just decided to do all of them?

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

I happen to know quite a bit about Venezuelan oil. TL;DR it’s hard to extract, notoriously investor-endangering, isn’t needed (global crude is oversupplied to the tune of 3.3 min bpd) and isn’t easily refined (it’s too dense so always sold at a heavy discount) www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

i can't understand this new strategy even if we get the whole thing it's only two more armies

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

my favorite part of stranger things seasons 4-5 was watching seasons 1-3 again

the first thing i read year of our lord 2026

I’m going to be the old man (41) who talks about understanding the code the AI generates and being able to write it by hand. The kids will say I’m out of date, and I’ll never be sure they’re wrong. The indignity will never be lost on me that I’m talking about hand-writing god damn Javascript.

I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were: MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles) Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna) MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls) MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

My twelve-year-old daughter's Christmas haul included a cassette Walkman and a Discman, and music to play on both. Yes, part of it is STRANGER THINGS. But part of it is the seemingly inevitable swing towards throwback tech, coupled with the current longing to be LEFT ALONE TO LISTEN TO SHIT

I'm sorry to be pedantic here, but as holder of a doctorate in Massachusetts studies (unaccredited) I am forced to point out that we already have that in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist.

Starting a tech company, BOMBADIL, which is immensely powerful but not nearly as helpful as it could be

The Netflix and Amazon broadcasts are a great reminder that live sports is a deeply, deeply difficult type of TV that requires huge crews of profoundly skilled and experienced people who have worked together for a long time to look natural

You can pretend to have your shit together if you want. They don’t really check

Probably the best Christmas Eve news I've ever reported: The VA is legally required to build homes for unhoused veterans in Los Angeles — and homeless vets nationwide might be able to sue for shelter, too. @longlead.com has been covering this story for 4 years — and we're not stopping here!

i just finished recording the craziest episode of ENJOY YOUR DAY, my weekly radio show, that has ever existed. listen tomorrow at 2PM ET for a christmas present, or next tuesday at 2PM, and probably an additional time because it's that wild. listen @ uncertain.fm!

There's a man going 'round taking names And he decides who gets gifts and candy canes Everybody won't be treated all the same There'll be a red sleigh touching down When the man comes around

"This may be why I’m significantly more religious than I was growing up, which probably sounds at odds with the fact that I’m also far to the left of where I was back then." - @gonebabygone.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/one-good-thi...
