I think it's still my favourite album so far this year. It's a sumptuous record, full of small details.

Canaries, by canaries 6 track album

Some of the best #shoegaze I've heard in a while. Six tracks. Each is a winner.

A Powerhouse Writer Found One Word to Change the Debate About Tech

The award-winning novelist and veteran tech activist Cory Doctorow has written millions of words in his nearly four-decade career. Now he's best known for a single one: "Enshittification." How did he get here? My profile: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/b...

Were it not for the Biz Cas Fri puppet segment on Homestar Runner, we would be living a Doge-free existence.

Think about that.

Age yourself with a film you saw in the cinema as a kid.

"Hard-line ideas" is certainly one way to phrase it.

Yes, the Phantom Edit was pretty good, as best I can remember. It's been at least 20 years since I last saw it.

Yes, the aphorism has been around for ages. I don't think it earned its name until around 1980.

Or perhaps more appropriately, Hanlon's Razor.

‘Andor’ Writer Dan Gilroy On Disney Suspending Jimmy Kimmel & Hollywood Facing “Venomous Evil”: “This Isn’t A Skirmish. It’s A Siege” – Guest Column 'Andor' Writer Dan Gilroy On Trump's Jimmy Kimmel Pressure Campaign: "Artists Are Censored First Because They Fear Us Most" -- Guest Column

"We spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week."

Disney+ canceled

It's a tiny signal, but it's still a signal.

Headline from the New York Times, 1939: “Goebbels ends careers of five “Aryan“ actors who made witticisms about the Nazi regime.”

Time to cancel Disney+.

That's too bad. Both Andor and Daredevil: Born Again tackled the dangers of authoritarianism and totalitarianism.

I guess the Disney execs aren't inclined to get high on their own supply.

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

My older son does. My younger son's application is in-process. That's our plan B. We will need to work out something regarding my wife.

Surprise, surprise. I have to hold hope that we will eventually emerge from this era. We may be battered and bruised, but we will emerge.

This fine. Everything's fine. I'm OK. Really. I'm OK. I'm not freaking out. Nope.

Yes. It's new. I think.
