Déjà vu, all over again. Again. Same as it ever was 😮‍💨 #link: https://mailchi.mp/progressive/remembering-a-thirty-nine-year-old-unravelling #theprogressive #magazine #newsletter #journalism #reporting #progressive #manufacturedconsent #empire #imperialism #militaryindustrialcomplex #War […]

I used to love this show, and the other two shared productions. As an 8-9 year old, they were more fun than the much more serious in tone, Star Trek, which I also enjoyed. When the douchebros complain about effects in tv and movies now, I roll my eyes over their ignorance and wish for the bros […]

Hallelujah, they’re actually going to re-release the original 1977 version of Star Wars theatrically in February 2027. Hopefully, they release it for the home market too so I never have to watch the special versions ever again. #starwars #movies #cinemastodon

The consolidation's happening much slower than I predicted, but it's happening. Zaslav clearly hates the business he's in so I'm not surprised Warner is being consumed rather than being a consumer. Netflix/Warner, Disney/Hulu, Amazon/MGM, Apple/???, and one more major, probably, will be the […]

Finally, the ridiculously talented @gloriouscow has decided making one of the, if not *the*, most accurate IBM PC emulators around isn't enough - and is now working on CC0-licensed reference book going into component-by-component detail of exactly how the IBM PC and later PC XT work […]

NYC DSA is holding a rally tomorrow for 30 employees fired illegally by Rockstar Games, the video game studio behind the Grand Theft Auto series, for organizing with their coworkers. 5pm at 622 Broadway. Show up if you can! More info […]

Media like All Her Fault (the tv show) present their white, wealthy female characters as universal representations of motherhood and the expectations society puts on all women in relation to children. So far (episode 6) in this well-done drama they've missed a chance to depict a specific story […]

They're fully committed to the bit but I know Steve started it just for the portmanteau. #stevemartinshort

RE: https://mstdn.social/@ricardoharvin/115625429876041971 Episode 5 dropped Wednesday night in advance of the U.S. holiday today (Thursday). I love the twists, reveals, and promises of real answers instead of yet another show that's all mood, vibes, and endless unresolved mysteries or […]

Based on the style and period, you might guess this was a minor work of Eero Saarinen's (it shares many design elements with his arirport terminals of the same era). But, in fact, the architect was the less well known William Tabler, who had many commissions from Hilton. This was one of Tabler's […]

The Washington Hilton, completed 1965, was designed by architect William Tabler. It's notable not only for its distinctive exterior, but also for the prominent events hosted there. The hotel is or has been home to the White House Correspondents Association Dinner, the National Prayer Breakfast […]

The result here is about 170MP in 16x9 format, which is sufficient for very large prints that retain a great deal of detail (I've printed this at 6 feet wide). Mid-Century Modernist architecture, and Brutalism in particular, is easy to dismiss as being superficially lifeless and uninteresting […]

Australia is on course to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035, thanks to the HPV vaccination program, which launched there in 2007 for girls, and in 2013 for boys. In 2021, there were no cervical cancer cases diagnosed in women under 25. Here's more from the Royal Australian College of General […]

My phone's maximum battery capacity is at 69%. That's about 40 percentage points higher than my personal battery maximum capacity.

The last few days, I am tagged in posts by people from Gaza 🇵🇸, with a request for money or a repost. Every story is heartbreaking. 💔 So this post is to give attention to all. They need help, with shelter from the rain and cold, the expensive food, urgent medication. I used […]

🌞 Hello #fediverse! This is GBH #news bringing you the world from #Boston. It's 49F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10mi. #onthisday in 1859, Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" was published. A judge threw out cases brought by the Trump administration against former FBI Dir. James […]

Everybody go read "Termination Shock" by Neal Stephenson, because apparently that whole scenario is actually about to start happening: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/11/21/stardust-geoengineering-janos-pasztor-regulations-00646414

The show title is vaguely familiar but until the promo was in rotation in the Google tv app, I didn't know that Southern Charms is about southern "aristocracy" in Charleston, South Carolina, which means it's a show explicitly celebrating racists, and the legacy of wealth created by chattel […]

Just an absolutely shitty day for me, so far. But at least the hours I've spent on the phone with support for Xfinity and AT&T seem to have resolved all of my remaining issues with services, billing, and getting a service visit scheduled.

RE: https://dair-community.social/@dylan/115533505050619508 This thread is about one of the ways in which what's typically referred to as AI (Artificial Intelligence) can be a net benefit to humanity because it focuses on what the technology actually is at this point, Algorithmic Inference.

What we lost when the YMCA & low-rent residential hotels went away…(in) 1990, as many as 2 million people lived in residential hotels—more than lived “in all of America’s public housing”... Today, not so much. Single Resident Occupancy units like those offered by the YMCA were the safety net […]

I found a page on the SVS site with recommended subwoofer settings for a wide range of speakers and, even though I had already run Dirac and my system was sounding good, changing the crossover from 120Hz to 100Hz is noticeably better. Some minor deficiencies I'd noticed, particularly in my […]

While mine was almost exactly like Little and Chiron in Moonlight, Invisible, a Spanish Disney production, is a pretty good depiction of the effects of bullying, despite its much too optimistic ending. It triggered a lot of memories and emotions from second through sixth grades when my […]

Love Lies Bleeding is a requiem for a body horror Lynchian blood dream simple nightmare. It doesn't show "the" murder but does return to give a clear view of the damage it initially left to our imaginations. I'm not sure which is worse. Not what I was expecting, but watching it last night I […]

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

Setting aside the deliberately provocative lead-in, I'd like to talk about something about how unions work that I think a lot of leftists could learn from. When you see a worker in trouble you have solidarity with them _first_. It doesn't matter if it has never […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

Last year I was wondering why Kiss of the Spider Woman wasn't available anywhere. Soon after, I learned that there were legal/rights issues that prevented it from being streamed, or released on disc. A while later, I learned there was a remake coming, starring Jennifer Lopez, and that made me […]

I've recently started watching Only Murders in the Building and episode 7, "The Boy in 6B", is one of the most creative I've ever seen in television. The series is better than I expected given that it's a bunch of wealthy people playing wealthy people playing at crime and podcasting. I did […]
