Grimly funny to do *this* immediately after the captured CBS News’ goofy statement about “rule of law” and the world’s “last best hope.”

Very incisive commentary from @garrettmartin.bsky.social on the state of the big IP-driven theme parks, which embody a paraphrase of the line from The Incredibles about when everyone is super, no one is. www.avclub.com/epic-univers...
In 2025, IP fully conquered the theme park
Preexisting IP has always been a part of the American theme park, but the scales have tipped fully in its favor.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Ended the year with a long overdue project: building a frame out of 2x4s to keep the cats from crawling behind the TV/game stand. This replaces an ugly but functional mess of stuffed blankets and cardboard. I’ll spray paint it black once the temperature goes back up.

I’m watching a Magic Kingdom new year’s stream and it’s so funny seeing Disney do a dance party. It’s like a corporate event at the Marriott. Rental DJs, utterly safe playlist, crowd gently wobbling.

Remember Erebor, the mountain where Smaug killed the dwarves and stole all their money? And then every nation in the world fought a bloody war to try to get their money back?
Techrbos named their new bank after it.

Nintendo says Metroid Prime 4’s timeline placement is set after Super Metroid
Many of you will be wondering exactly where the recently released Metroid Prime 4 fits in the series timeline and thankfully Nintendo has told Famitsu the answer. Metroid Prime 4 is set after Super Metroid and before Metroid Fusion. Due to Samus ending up in another dimension in Metroid Prime 4, Nintendo says it “wanted to be able to create a free and original setting for Metroid Prime without affecting the 2D Metroid series." Thanks to Greatsong1 for sending in the news tip!

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.
