It’s a sin

Pet Shop Boys live on TV in Chile. Few perks.

@scryfall.com when searching for legendary cards, the common legendaries from TMNT don't appear. Thanks!

every shot-on-video, made-with-a-camcorder horror movie that's just some teenage friend group fucking around in the woods with some fake blood and a monster mask contains more artistic merit, human joy and creative light than anything AI has ever made or will ever, ever make

Honestly, I don't care about TMNT, but this looks fun and with many buildarounds. It made me read the early TMNT comics and I get A LOT of the references.

If my feed is gonna be talking about Nirvana the Band for the next week, I need more of you to watch the sublime crossover they did with Mega64 a few years back that went mostly unnoticed. They get a lot of mileage out of what first looks to be a simple premise and then keep going. Love it to bits.

Just finished Kaufman’s ANTKIND. I mean, if this isn’t what actual freedom feels like, I don’t know what it is. I felt goosebumps as I finished it. You need to get through a lot of bullshit and Kaufmannisms, but I love those. The work of a free man (person).

Wiseman was the greatest in his field. No questions asked.

Squen and Cragg's side hustle went worse than expected... Tune in tomorrow at 10am PT for the #MTGxTMNT Debut stream on twitch.tv/magic or youtube.com/@mtg#MTGxTMNT

Living, once again, through some wage theft issues (should've been paid on the 10th, no payday in sight). So, if you want to support what I do with the diaries now is a wonderful time to do so. ko-fi.com/jaimegrijalba ruizdiaries.substack.com

I’m glad people are bonding over bad bunny but I just wish he didn’t spend more than half of his career (and build his fame on) singing about how women are whores that suck his huge dick. Like, I know you guys don’t understand Spanish, but it’s no excuse in the 2020s.

For all of you that haven't seen this clip from the Olympics. #WotCStaff

Continuing to read Antkind and I understand why people hated when it came out. But I think right now, right this precise moment, I think it's a very interesting, prescient and relevant read.

I was invited to present a list for this poll. I like the results! yanco.be/en/greatest-...

Sad

On today's diary... Adrian Martin mentioned!!!

And now he’s gone and I couldn’t help but shed some tears. RIP Kai.

I'm so sad to hear of Kai Budde's passing. I spent eight years working the Pro Tour and it allowed me the opportunity to watch Kai first hand as he made the greatest run of professional Magic that has ever been, winning seven Pro Tours! It was an honor to get to know him. Rest in peace, Kai.

Darren, buddy, you're making it harder and harder to stick up to you.

Supporting, sharing and caring about the diaries also supports this lady. ko-fi.com/jaimegrijalba ruizdiaries.substack.com

Zelda’s out of the vet and I’m out of money. But she’s better. A lifetime ahead of painkillers and vet visits.

I’d say we can stop speaking about movies for a few weeks, it won’t kill us.

Unrelated to any of the horrific things happening, but I've been meaning to talk about this. Did anyone end up reading Antkind by Kauffman? For some reason, I finally found myself starting it. It's... really prescient???

John Wilson is back!

John Wilson's feature debut 'The History of Concrete' is a joyous ride full of his now-trademark detours and persistent, underlying sadness at both the state of New York (his first and true love) and the world at large. Read our Sundance review:

My cat is at the hospital. Just a year after Violeta died. Don’t keep punishing me, God, why are you doing this to me. I know I deserve it but they don’t.

I made a list of the best films I saw in 2025 for @luckystarfilm.bsky.social It's not a good list, but it's my list. theluckystarfilm.net/2026/01/20/y... Also, many great lists to browse and love (and hate). Enjoy!

Lucky Star is proud to present our Year in Review for 2025. Check out lists from our editors ( @cruyffbedroom.bsky.social @nrogershancock.bsky.social @charulata.bsky.social ) and some of our friends, with some thoughts on a few particular films. theluckystarfilm.net/2026/01/20/y...

Remember when film twitter was obsessed with the Twilight films? Of all things.

Bars @ruizdiariesjaime.bsky.social

Damn son @ruizdiariesjaime.bsky.social

How could I have ever, ever, doubted Park Chan-wook.

@shivambhatt.bsky.social don't know if someone has asked this (they probably have) but, what's a good point to start and watch/read/whatever regarding TMNT to be up to snuff regarding the MTG set? If you've done it before, please let me know so I can search! Thanks!

Lorwyn Eclipsed indeed.

I still remember that feeling when I knew that Lynch had died. I was hopeless and I cried and felt miserable. I couldn’t stop crying for more than two hours. It felt as if something had broken. And sure, the world and universe hasn’t been the same since.

David Lynch left this Earth one year ago today. 💔

I’m just gonna do it one day and not look back.

I'm just so sad and angry about everything. I can't do anything but cry and yell at the void. What the fuck am I supposed to do.
