I know Matthew Belloni has said on Town podcast that this is potentially a major bomb of the year, but I have to say that the nostalgia play may work on me. I want to see the trailer. It may be complete crap, but I'm hoping for something a bit subversive like the Jumanji remake […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@gedeonm/115928412093093827 I backed @Iconfactory's new KickStarter & you should consider backing as well. Also, finally decided to get a Pixel Portrait, as an add-on, that I've been wanting for a while now (just too indecisive when the opportunity has presented […]

HIGHLY disappointed in my local Sheriff department's response. It's not just bad law-enforcement officers that ruin the overall reputation of the profession, it's every single officer/official who looks the other way... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwUiPo2bmNQ

For the first time since 2012, I'm not going to #dragoncon (save 2 years during Covid where I went nowhere). Still enjoy going, but I thought I might do something different for a solo trip this year in its place. Unfortunately, I need to make sure finances work and the open-ended question of […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@rileytestut/115917812751736532 Sounds like some good work, but likely not for me as I don't want my phone to be that dynamic as it would probably distract me/cost battery life. Still, cool work all the same...

I would very much like EVERY interview/article to include a line: Cook/Pichai were asked about the why they continue to platform CSAM, non-consensual sexual material and deepfake porn, but they refused to comment on their continue acceptance of this material on their platform in violation of […]

Perusing through old Cinefantastique magazines and come across beautiful art like this. Okay, it is technically a design for a spaceship from a film, but I'd stick that up on my wall. Free emoji hi-5 to whoever recognises it first!

Or.. Or... and I'm just theorizing here, Musk owns a few companies, that are generally regarded as lousy, and can't compete at the same level? Just a thought! https://9to5mac.com/2026/01/12/elon-musk-reacts-poorly-to-apple-google-gemini-deal/

A lovely short animation about children and their imagination. As the title boldly claims, it won't be online for long as it was uploaded sometime yesterday. Less than 24 hours to see it? It's wonderful, don't miss it. Cardboard | The Short Film - STREAMING FOR 48 HOURS ONLY! […]

Deeply unpopular President & party flail for any policy that doesn't highlight how awful they actually are... https://apnews.com/article/trump-credit-cards-interest-rates-savings-banks-dba221f122789427c1c625ba873c9b71

I'm not sure where the story will take this, but I'm definitely curious. From Old Man Logan to Old Man Robin Hood. The Hugh Jackman old man cinematic universe 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlSDDuWxO_0

Got my old Mac mini 2012 running Debian 13. It's got 16GB of memory & 1 TB of SSD, so it's still a perfectly capable... Not sure why I didn't think of doing this sooner 🤷‍♂️

The Back to the Future Time Machine returns to #lego once again! (Interestingly, they never mention DeLorean, even though the model has the DMC logo and name on it) As a massive Back to the Future fan, I wasn't going to turn down this wonderful little model […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Nice interview with the Duffer Brothers now that season 5 & the show is done... https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stranger-things-finale-is-eleven-alive-vecna-killed-rock-spinoff-1236621528/

I think I have the dbrand Magic Keyboard skin installed properly for my iPad Air 13. Not as easy as they claim, but managed (assuming no edges peel up). I just chose the matte black as I only wanted the skin for: * covering the annoying default feel of the Magic Keyboard material. It's a dust […]

Happy New Year! I wish I were feeling more confident that 2026 would be better than 2025, but I'm not. The state of the world is still bleak. The democrats feel like they will at best stumble into winning elections (nationally, they seem utterly inept), so we've got months of the same shit and […]

I'm afraid Commodore may have priced itself out with the changes today for the Commodore 64 Ultimate. I hadn't bought one (despite the nostalgia as the c64 was my first real computer) mostly due to space and benefits. I think I would've played with it for a week or two and had my fill. I was […]

The GOP loves their AI slop. It's really useful for a party that has no plan for the future, no goal to improve the country, just 💩 https://variety.com/2025/music/news/jack-white-blasts-congressman-sharing-ai-video-trump-1236620402/

REALLY looking forward to the return of Shrinking... Looks like they are hopefully bringing back Cobie Smulders which is such a good idea... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGWSq5mra-w

I like this teaser better than the last as we at least get a bit of dialog and some character motivation (visually implied motivation in the last teaser, but left even more vague). Looks like they're sort of hitting the big 3, but the third is going to be more interesting if they show him in […]

I was recently reminded of this. A couple decades ago, I wrote a short paper that described how the basic approaches of cryptography and computer security lead to an efficient and practical privilege escalation attack against master-keyed mechanical lock, which I published in IEEE Security and […]

Good video from @snazzyq (thanks @daringfireball for linking to it). We all roughly know the iPad's limitations, but Quinn does a good job laying out choices that artificially limit what users can do. I 💙 my iPad Air, but I also know that without proper, first-party Terminal support, it will […]

OMG! I only just discovered this tonight via Insta. You probably have to be a special kind of Star Wars fan who also loves Tron to get this joke. I'm that kinda nerd because I was in stitches. 🤣 The 1982 Tron Holiday Special https://youtube.com/watch?v=El42Wkpovgs

Merry Christmas to all! #plushtodon

I never posted my thoughts about Avatar: Fire and Ash which I saw this past Sunday. Honestly, it was really good, but is beginning to feel a bit repetitive in the large action set pieces. It doesn't prevent me from enjoying them, but I do notice the same feel […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

“The reason so many of yesterday’s free-speech champions transitioned so easily into today’s pro-Trump censors is that their definition of free speech never included the right of others to talk back.” […]

Ugh, I got my copy of Dogma 4K, but of course there had to be an issue... Ugh, why did Fandango at Home have to be the only option? I redeemed a Lionsgate film recently and could redeem at Apple TV. So far, I've taken no action, but submitted a request for a […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

No one believes Bari Weiss and therefore CBS News is quickly becoming untrusted and reporting per the whims of the Republican agenda (Republican == Trump now as they have no ideas, no plan, no strategy except to follow him... pure cult of personality with no substance at all) […]

Not a fan in any way of James Woods' politics. I think he is 100% looking in the wrong direction and has either been hoodwinked by Trump or has some distasteful ideas on his own, BUT I have enjoyed his work as an actor over the years and I appreciate him turning from all of that to defend the […]

Ugh, could he just go away. Never has a President acted LESS presidential than during his administration. Rather than just stating what happened, that it is horribly sad and that our thoughts are with the family, he had to keep going and try to make it about him. Trump needs to fuck all the way […]

I mean Superman was pretty good, I enjoyed it. (But not enough to buy a copy to own) This is Supergirl but I really like the sci-fi vibes. It's not another superhero on Earth story. Quick glimpse of Jason Momoa in there too! Supergirl | Official Teaser Trailer […]

At least someone is trying to pause this garbage and properly review it. Sadly it comes after the whole east wing is gone ☹️ https://wapo.st/4oRY378

I'm back on my #gridfinity printing kick making some bins for organizing my cables as I also prepare to get rid of a bunch of old cables, but I'm still keeping too many... I am multitudes... I can simultaneously hold these ideas at once: * Can't let my cables go as I might need 8 USB-A to […]

If I had the chance to speak to the Supreme Court justices before the they examine the cases dealing with Humphrey's Executor & Birthright Citizenship, what would I say? DO YOUR FUCKING JOB!!! Follow the Constitution... Follow precedent There's a reason the case & the 14th Amendment have stood […]

Reason 1,000,001 that I refuse to stay subscribed to Netflix perpetually. They're customer hostile and provide less features for more money. We're currently subbed for a couple of months to catch up on 2-3 shows and 1 or 2 movies. Nothing else of value to me on the service... It's been long […]

💙 the new #plushtodon stuffed toys, but the shipping to the US is 😱... if only some of the other merch weren't all sold out where I could get a bunch of things in one order 😞 Probably have to skip this one $30 shipping for a $30 plush is just hard to manage...
