Sorry to be mad online but we just watched FLOW (Best Animated Feature Oscar winner 2024) and, uh, I thought it was awful. What was the story? Does it have anything to say? It's just a tech demo for Blender, right? Maybe cat lovers like this movie? Guess I haven't made a movie so I can't cricitize.

I spent years searching for the title of this game I remembered and finally found it this week on Reddit. I think it must have been pretty obscure. I loved the turn based combat and the character creation with re-rollable stats.

In The Farthest Shore, when Arren is getting infected by darkness, he stops talking so much to Sparrowhawk except for trivial, mundane things. Sparrowhawk's silence is part of his strength but for Arren it's like the path of frustration and resentment and building resolve towards rebellion. 🤔🤔🤔

Very excited to say that 404 Media's zine about ICE Surveillance is here. If you ordered a print copy, I put it in the mail last week. If not, we of course think the info inside is very important so here's a free PDF. We also translated it into Spanish:

This is a speech designed by someone who thinks you are stupid. He’s explicitly promising to keep the *recently tripled* budget of the DHS gestapo if there are “reforms” that, behind closed doors, their lawyers admit are unenforceable, irrelevant, and even harmful.
Democrats are right to deny funding for DHS absent changes that stop this lawlessness and inhumanity. Changes that Americans are demanding.
Let's talk for a second about what has to change - immediately. And why it's so important that we demand these reforms.

Our horrible upstairs neighbor seems to have moved out. She broke up with her boyfriend I guess (he still lives here and isn’t bad). This is such a relief. She used to smoke or vape in her bathroom and the smell carried down to our place. I am pretty confident she is definitely definitely moved out.

I have owned Disco Elysium for years and only this week did I finally finish the game. Wow! That was fun. I played an intellectual and really tried to become a good person, put darkness behind me. It was a good ending.
Maybe next time I’ll be Bad.
