Here we go 2026

when your mom gets out of prison for gross child neglect & you’ve finally learnt to forgive her

Just watched Gremlins again. The lighting is fantastic, like a 50s invasion movie. They could do a black and white release and it would look amazing. Cracking film.

This is why we don’t deserve nice things

An important update regarding the release date of 007 First Light.

Sony and Nintendo really need to get with the times and build a gift option for digital games into their storefront. I don’t know how long the option has existed on Steam, but it’s been on Xbox for somewhere in the ballpark of a decade. There’s really no excuse not to have it in 2025.

Quite the collection

Just watched it’s a Wonderful Life. May have cried. Merry Christmas everyone!

Time for a midweek mood check! Using a GIF, pic, or vid share how you are feeling today

Animation is magic and Harryhausen was a wizard.

ADVENT 2025. And my songs of the year. Starting back in January and anything with even a tiny bit of Neu! in it is fine by me. youtu.be/EW9czxT_8Tg?...

Walking into 2026

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

I shouldn’t have to share this article as much as I do. Sending condolences to all friends and family and loved ones from the Brown Shooting today. www.newsweek.com/2025/07/18/f...

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

What a great piece! This just gets better and better as you read. prospect.org/2025/12/11/s...

Dick Van Dyke is 100 ‘While I was making Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Cubby Broccoli called me in & asked me if I wanted to be Bond. I said to him ‘Have you heard my English accent?’ & he said ‘Ohhh that’s right - let’s forget it.’

Companies paying for the privilege of providing content for someone else's platform, all while losing creative control of one's own IP, was not on my 2025 bingo card but here we are.

We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness. We are monkeys with money and guns. ~ Tom Waits

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy. Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.

Looks like the new Lockwood & Co. series has gone into production without telling us

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy. Enough to power 23 million homes! U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

YES!!! My favourite synth is back! www.musicradar.com/music-tech/i...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR or Marvel.

Started laughing thinking about this again so am contractually obliged to repost it. Written by @quantick.bsky.social

Bluesky Algorithm at it again

This absolutely needs to be a campaign. The UK and the EU (Germany especially,) need to get all government business OFF of X. Start with that and charities and other organizations will follow. Come to BlueSky. Cut off the oxygen at X.

I’m late to this but…

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop

It’s itch.io creator day! I think both my games on there are free because they’re used in teaching, but I have a ko-fi if anyone wants to fund the caffeine that fuels my work. Or find other people on there to support and give them money. hollynielsen.itch.io

Do a vulgar roast

Marvellous

Great day recording with @theflightmusic.bsky.social and Mike Georgiades
