Yep. Murder.

41 minutes is a long time to sit in your air conditioned office watching men struggle to survive as you decide to kill them.

"Sure, I can take photos of the theater seating that we disassembled years ago. I'll just put some chairs back together and get some real nice shots, can't be that hard" uuggghhh

Always someone at Paramount determined to crack the code of making Star Trek "cool" to "appeal to younger audiences," and it never works. When I was a teen, you know what young, sexy television appealed to me? The slow, verbose, deeply-uncool intellectual political drama of DEEP SPACE FUCKIN NINE 🔥

My great-uncle was born in the Russian Empire and wrote God Bless America

Robin Finck co-founded a game dev studio with Cory Davis called EYES OUT, and their immersive horror survival debut SLEEP AWAKE is out now, along with the original score. Robin has announced an AMA, going live next week. Read more here 👉 www.reddit.com/r/nin/commen...

2016: 200 amp service seems light for building a small theater, but with LEDs maybe it's fine. Trust the engineer. 2025: An electrician told our GC he thinks we need 400 amp service for our museum and offices in the same space (Not the electrician who told us he has a Porsche and a Lamborghini)

Cleaning the first floor, we found a bucket of privy dirt leftover from the second sift. Dumped it out, picked a dozen tiny sherds from the dust and dirt. "This shape looks familiar," Melissa said...

I help run the NIN subreddit and the oldest NIN community forum, and one of the things I really appreciate about this community is the way they work quickly and in tandem completely wreck anyone who shows up posting AI slop.

I hope that this doesn't just become about "Nuzzi is bad" but fosters a wider recognition that our culture of political journalism that didn't just tolerate her, but promoted and celebrated her even after the allegations were known, is rotten to the core and has been for a long time.

I don't know if it's because I grew up in an era of the infomercial, but I have an outsized reaction whenever some video of a Gen Zer gets inserted into my feeds, faking wonder and excitement at the landfill material they're trying to make money from. It's not anger or disgust, but more like pathos.

A presentation at work had a slide attributing "why fit in when you were born to stand out" to Dr Seuss and if they *really* wanted us to do that, I would have come off mute to point out that is a made up quote.

This thread excerpt makes me think of the Year Zero ARG, which was moving too fast for @ninhotline to coherently cover. Ninwiki was born & took those reigns; it felt like a big shift for me, an archive guy. Used to collect fan reviews of shows in our forum, now folks just post fleetingly on Insta

Shenanigans

When I have years-long breaks between bursts of physical labor, it takes me a day or two to remember that in order to be productive, I need to start the day with a sugary blend of coffee and milk, washing down a preemptive pair of ibuprofen tablets.

This entire Q&A feels like it's from another dimension

whatever the Xai people did to make grok speak more positively about its owner seems to be backfiring

Finally, that creative writing course I took in college, which in its third session, became all about poetry, is about to pay off

It feels like we're getting closer and closer to the pop, and I know it's going to suck in a lot of ways, but i just want to get it over with

I went to a meeting about new sound barriers on I-95, wondering why I didn't get a ballot in the mail, to vote on whether we get a sound barrier, and whether it's transparent or concrete. I didn't get one because my house was marked with a red X as "affected but would not benefit" Excuse me?

Reminds me of the Caterpillar strikes in 1990s East York. A trip down Memory Lane, if you will. (I'm expecting exactly one person on here to get that reference)

“no pawlitics uwu” is the universal distress signal for conservatives losing an argument

Thread. “AI is patching up the holes in conspiracy theories and so making them seem more reasonable, making them easier to spread and more resilient to collapse” was not on my bingo card. AI relieves the pressure of cognitive dissonance. That’s … not great.

We're around 9 years into this home, and one of our LED ceiling lights started to flicker. So, I'm replacing them all. You know how when you get a new phone, you realize how dim your old phone got? It's like that but with the whole house. This is especially nice going into these short winter days.

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body." Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

They’re all just looting the treasury now

this is 1. incredible and 2. basically a silversun pickups song

One of my pet peeves about taking security assessment quizzes at work is that I lose points for answering too conservatively. I remember getting dinged, years ago, on a multiple choice question about password complexity. No, 12 characters is _not_ enough!

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

I realize there’s a lot of news happening right now, but it’s still wild to me that Meta is making billions of dollars on scam ads and ads for banned goods and no one is holding them accountable

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

"On the first question, several jury members struggled to stifle laughter as Lairmore expanded on the hoagie’s alleged explosive properties. 'It was like, Oh, you poor baby,' the juror told me." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

At this point I don't know why we keep bringing up that he's a terrible person. That has not been an effective strategy. It's better than pretending nothing happened, but once again I feel compelled to say... Surely this.

Tired of repairing my dishwasher after 8 years, I splurged on an upgrade. As I got the old dishwasher out, I took a moment to reflect on how this would be the step where I replace the part that I think needs replacing. And then I installed a new unit that cost 10x what the part would have cost.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

It's definitely not visible to the naked eye, but I think I managed to capture the northern lights in Philadelphia despite all the light pollution. This photo would not be possible without the efforts of the copper thieves who rendered the street lamps on I-95 inoperable.

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

We're really just going to do the Boston Massacre again, aren't we?

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Some EXCELLENT thunder tonight. I kind of want to set my mics up to record it, but that's a little silly. There are lots of "good recordings of thunder" out there, and they all actually kind of suck. You don't ever get the house-shaking rumble like the real thing provides.

I don't think the people who tagged the Boghouse in the comments even saw this detail, but guys I think I'm about to make a new friend

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

Every time my dishwasher misbehaves, I look up the problem, buy a replacement part, and fix it. It usually works out. But eight years in, I am starting to understand the impulse to just buy a whole new one. This is kind of what it's like for people who are afraid of using a screwdriver, isn't it?

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Today's newsletter is about the awful and extremely political decision to gut Teen Vogue for parts www.readtpa.com/p/teen-vogue...

Every election, chuds from the suburbs drive to the highway exit on the edge of center city to put up huge vinyl banners for Republicans running hopelessly in Philadelphia. A mere block away from my house. Maybe one day we'll make tote bags out of it all.

It's the kind of sky that makes your camera's automatic white balance panic
