The way this Apple II rooftop cityscape draws itself in and then sweeps across the screen is very pleasing to the eye. The traffic and skyscraper lights twinkling away very much build some lovely atmosphere and look lovely in their own right. 📺: D-Generation, 1989 (Unreleased prototype)

Randomly thinking about how Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid was a missed opportunity. They didn't really have enough material to make a whole movie so I think they should have gone in the opposite direction: a mostly conventional noir parody with exactly one gag where they intercut with a classic movie.

I wrote this almost 11 years ago theweek.com/articles/444...

When heavy military equipment is taken from its original context and placed in the hands of a domestic law-enforcement agency with little training in wartime scenarios, it becomes nothing more than an instrument of intimidation. It simply has no other purpose. Wearing jungle camouflage in an urban setting, pointing guns at civilians, driving around pointlessly in an armored personnel carrier — all of these egregiously violate military best practices. This is playing soldier dress-up to scare the pants off the locals — except the guns are real.

Notice also how many of these riot cops have their faces completely covered by gas masks and insect goggles. That is almost never seen in recent wars, because covering the face makes a soldier look less human, which is directly at odds with modern counterinsurgency thinking.

But covering the face to dehumanize the enemy is a common feature in first-person shooter games (like Half Life 2 and the Killzone series), where the player often has to slaughter them by the score. Doing it to oneself is, I think, a deliberate effort to broaden the emotional distance between law enforcement and the people who are being forced into submission.

It turns out that when you put normal cops into soldier gear, you don't get soldiers. You get paramilitary goons.

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times. Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

Editors' Note, 1/4/26:

A spokesperson from The New York Times emailed Trans News Network the Sunday after publication, disputing various parts of the interview. We reject their disputes as unsubstantiated, nitpicking or willful misreads. We have added minor clarifications at two points in the interview alongside the transcript, which remains as published. We stand by our reporting of the interview with Sweeney, former editor and 11-year veteran of the Times.

The Times also provided TNN a statement responding to the interview, which we have declined to publish due to its inclusion of overt transphobia (such as framing the existence of trans people as “fiercely contested medical and legal debates”). Even in their PR, it seems that the Times can't stop denigrating our lives and communities.

We do not have an obligation to publish damage control on the behalf of a news outlet undergoing a legitimacy crisis because of their own actions.

I love how causal they are about the human remains, too. Someone showed up in a subreddit with a HUMAN JAWBONE, and replies were all "Hm, black from magnesium deposition, child-sized but molar loss with socket reabsorption and no fillings. Probably 1800s. Make sure to report it. Nice one."

I love BYTE magazine's covers of the early 80s, anticipating all the ways computers will enter our homes in the coming computer revolution years. Things like smart devices and appliances, envisioned in the only ways they could then: radio waves and ultrasonic.

If you like particularly the dark fantasy inflections in Caves of Qud, I recommend Zothique (by Clark Ashton Smith), where you get banger openers like this

Opening of The Empire of the Necromancers by Clark Ashton Smith

"Mmatmuor and Sodosma were necromancers who came from the dark isle of Naat, to practise their baleful arts in Tinarath, beyond the shrunken seas. But they did not prosper in Tinarath: for death was deemed a holy thing by the people of that gray country; and the nothingness of the tomb was not lightly to be desecrated; and the raising up of the dead by necromancy was held in abomination.

So, after a short interval, Mmatmuor and Sodosma were driven forth by the anger of the inhabitants, and were compelled to flee toward Cincor, a desert of the south, which was peopled only by the bones and mummies of a race that the pestilence had slain in former time."

I was surprised by how much I liked Woman of the Year, compared to Adam's Rib and the parts of other Tracy/Hepburn movies I've seen on TCM. Like I fully agree with all the critiques on letterboxd of its regressive attitudes, but most of the other movies in this subgenre are even worse

The associated picture is a screenshot from Dwarf Fortress, showing a rectangular room carved in stone with a stone door as its single entrance. Inside this room, a group of 13 giant leopards are all clustered together and huddled in the south-east corner of the room. On the western side of the room, two leopards are standing there nonchalantly
