Rewatching Tron (and then Legacy) to prepare for Ares.
What an absolutely remarkable film. It somehow completely still holds up. They've done a nice job on the remaster, so it looks fresh. It's incredible how the ingenuity of the filmmaking means it doesn't look dated, and is still a compelling world. I can't imagine how much painstaking compositing work this took…

I dislike TikTok as much as the next guy, but I can't argue with things like this, that the actual Democratic party posted there, which combine two of my interests - both antifascism and the Wii - in such a great way.

Content warning: Loneliness diagram

The Venn Diagram of Perceived Loneliness...
Just came across this again in my archives — it so brutally & succinctly expresses the feeling our cultures & social connections seem to have turned into... Even though we should know that it isn't like that at all, two decades of exploitative commercialized social media (not the only reason; pandemic, tech, politics being others...) have conditioned & segmented people to believe it, experience it to varying degrees, and then …

A complex Venn diagram of 8 overlapping sets (here representing interests, only labeled 1-8), with almost all individual overlaps labeled with "Others". Only the central overlap and the edge areas without overlap are labeled "Me", expressing the idea that there're no commonalities with others...

Meta accused in New Mexico trial of failing to protect children online
Meta is on trial in New Mexico to answer allegations that its social media platforms enable predators to target children for sexual exploitation. The case is one of a series of lawsuits nationwide accusing social media companies of not doing enough to protect children online. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez sued Meta in 2023 alleging its platforms enable predators to target children for sexual exploitation. Meta denies the allegation and accuses prosecutors of taking a “sensationalis…
