Don’t know if it counts as “vintage” but I’ve been putting together a home music server on a 2014 Mac mini—keeping me off the AI-flooded music streaming services and keeping this unit out of the landfill. Plus, it’s really fun!

A busy, big-city lawyer with no time for love must spend Xmas in her rural hometown for her sister’s wedding. But when a dangerous fugitive crashes the rehearsal dinner, she and the local sheriff capture their man…and each other’s hearts! #bevin #ky #hallmark

Fun fact! We could be using the $75 billion allocated for ICE on literally anything else! Like essential services that help people exist! It’s almost as if these issues + our priorities have a lot of overlap! Also people definitely can’t afford things if they get shot in the face!

Some rare, decent news in this fight. As many of the comments on this post point out, they should also take a stand against AI-generated visual art, including album covers.

I saw this story last year and it was on my mind when I recently decided to reinvest in physical media. Now it’s back in the news and I’m feeling pretty pleased with my new blu ray/4k player. Trying to walk away from “life as a (subscription) service” wherever I can. gizmodo.com/wtf-is-this-...

Going back to physical media to save $ on streaming & step out of the algorithm. I can pause frames & watch credits easily. PLUS, SPECIAL FEATURES! I’ll invest in some UHD & blu ray (hello @criterion.bsky.social) and utilize my local library, but for now I’m rescuing DVDs from the garage; so fun!

Logos should not include detailed illustrations. Most major brands that started with elaborate logos have simplified them over time. I mean, who cares, but that was a bad logo. I would have done a bit more to the shape to reference the concept of a barrel.

I mean, it would be better to win that battle right now and have the rainbow crosswalk restored immediately. But this regime is destroying so much, so quickly it would be great to have an augmented reality app that could help us remember and track it all, and to see everything in place, how it was.

Moira @moiraok.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

The augmented reality app I’m imagining could also display other destroyed elements of public space, such as the rainbow crosswalk Pulse memorial. A tool for collective memory and for re-envisioning the future. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

Someone please make an augmented reality app that allows visitors to Smithsonian and other sites to see virtual versions of exhibits and placards removed by the regime. It could also provide images of empty spaces where Confederate monuments are.

The national failure to stand up for students protesting the genocide in Gaza has eroded students’ rights to protest at all. These NCCU students were exposing conditions—including black mold—in their own dorms, and they are still being called outside agitators & subjected to beating and arrest.

If a low U.S. birth rate (as in pop. growth) was an actual problem, increasing legal paths to immigration and supporting immigrants would be a logical solution. But of course that’s not what he’s worried about. Make him say “white babies” whenever he spreads this shit.

Adolescence is a powerful story, creatively told, with stellar performances. Still, I was surprised by how devastated & heartsick I felt. Then I realized—those feelings were just me returning to my new real-life baseline. Not exactly “escapist” but the show’s artistry distracted me from the news.

Also if Reagan is rolling in his grave it’s only because of jealousy. Every shit thing that’s happening now has roots in, or indeed was set in motion by, the Reagan administration. If we had an actual opposition party I’d assume that the person providing their rebuttal would get that.

Yesterday I heard two Dems give speeches which said that yes, there is gov’t waste but it needs to be trimmed more thoughtfully. Stop it. We need to tax the billionaires & corps. The 1% must pay their fair share. Don’t legitimize the coup by saying the problem is flawed execution of good goals.

I keep thinking “we don’t have to live this way.” Then I ponder prepper culture: frightened, bitter dudes stockpiling weapons, buckets of “rations” and cash/gold. I suppose you’d feel like kind of a sucker if you did all that and society didn’t collapse.

Don’t want to minimize the awful harms & crimes happening. We must fight for our civil institutions overall & trans rights specifically. BUT they can’t make us watch their all-cis sports. Ready to watch inclusive sports leagues from here and around the world. They own teams & orgs but not sports.

They want to eradicate all data pointing to structural reasons for anything. If poor health outcomes, unemployment, being a victim of violence, and all other risks to well-being can’t be tied to any socio-political factors, then these must all be personal failures. No need for social change.
