This Week’s Movies Flirting with Disaster Sacco & Vanzetti The Burning Riders for Justice

remarkable that they can have an event with two title fights that also feels like they're not trying at all

Holy shit! A 6th Round! I am both shocked and delighted to see @zanesimon.bsky.social and @theeddiemercado.bsky.social talking about fights. Even if it is a meh event. www.youtube.com/live/gP2Oy1f...

My favorite kind of @zanesimon.bsky.social analysis of a bad fight is him explaining who each fighter is then taking a long pause and just going "Yeah." Kills me every time.

Regret to inform, am in 40s, have begun binging history crap.

Product photography for the new business is all done and I'm very pleased with it. Big thanks to @tr4ve5ty.bsky.social for all the cleanup work on my crappy photos.

What you say may be incomprehensible and boring, but that doesn’t make it true.

Anyone who hasn't gotten it yet, Cyberpunk 2077 is 20 bucks like everywhere right now. Going on six after launch it's still fantastic. The ultimate edition is 35, which is a fucking steal.

Beautiful new piece from Rachel that also ended up serving one of my long-in-the-making goals: finally getting her to read Watership Down.

My latest piece for @theatlantic.com is about animal narrators in fiction, with particular attention to Paul Yoon's extraordinary new novel, Etna, which Homer and/or Nolan heads will be happy to learn is another version of The Odyssey. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/books/2026/0...

Congratulations, UFC, you are internationally legitimate enough to make it to Serbia. We're having a party to celebrate and everyone's getting Uros Medic. www.punchsport.report/p/carls-figh...

UFC Fight Night: Medić vs Rodriguez

It's important that we as a society can be cool with depicting objectionable and morally reprehensible acts in fiction. I think playing Street Fighter 5 is wrong but I think we should be allowed to tell stories about it.

I feel like if we can get enough people to sign up for the Vivi, then we can make @zanesimon.bsky.social and @kingtypo.bsky.social stop talking about MMA and start talking entirely about Star Trek.

Since Steam seems to have botched the release of the Steam Machine by making it very expensive, very rare, and not great, I decided to have my own steam machine custom built as a birthday gift to me. And let me tell you, that thing is really great.

I've got a business on the verge of opening, but I keep knocking around looking for other employment. The most common job I see is for "social media manager" and without exception ever one of those job descriptions is absolutely insane.

New stupid shit for dumb babies just dropped.

Truly, a lot of our most creative, free-form artists are also kinked out freaks who, even if they don't make porn themselves, constantly use sex, sexual desire, and sexual situations as a frame of reference.

The more you explore the history of anime, manga, Japanese games history, the more you are confronted with the fact that MANY of the forms’ most potent innovations sprang out of and could not have existed without pornography. It’s integral to and inextricable from these histories

At a certain point, once you recognize the destruction of the middle class in one aspect of your life, you kind of can't stop recognizing it in all aspects of your life

It sucks that ESPN is choosing to pay a small handful of personalities $50 million a year and cutting costs elsewhere. I’m sure they have data saying those guys move the needle but it feels like a long-term disaster to invest everything in 3-5 guys when you could fund a robust media ecosystem

NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER is on Kanopy and it’s such a prime example of 70s/80s “New York is an absolute top to bottom sewer where your kid will get snatched 15 seconds after you turn your back” cinema. No guardrails, no studio notes, no mercy. Watch it.

Chris Nolan has just made The Odyssey, but what other classical works should be made into films, and who should direct them? Greta Gerwig’s Antigone The Coen Brothers’ Metamorphoses Alfonso Cuarón’s Iliad

it's pretty devastating that this is even more relevant now than it was in 2021 when i first wrote it. trans rights are human rights. always. bloodynostalgia.substack.com

what’s the Odyssey about? I’m so glad you asked

Seems like a small stupid complaint, but... one of the best and most reliable forms of world building a film or TV show or video game can do is in the in-world media.

There’s a bunch of posters in the shitty sons room in Cape Fear that are clearly AI slop. There was some artist whose entire job was inventing artwork for obviously fake media that’s now losing out. Nightmare era

This is my recent pet theory, that we’re reaching the end of the Computer Revolution. The technology is functionally plateauing after years of steady improvement and innovation. It won’t go away, but it might be a while before most of us see a meaningful era of new tech.

I really do wonder how long it will take developers to realize no one can afford to buy computer upgrades anymore
