Digger is one of the best movies of the year. The marketing is mid, deliberately misrepresenting the film and its tone. I can’t say more, it’s better to go in and feel a bit of frustration until the movie opens up to you. boxd.it/gFfCAN

A ★★★★★ review of Digger (2026)
Digger is one of a kind. It’s a huge swing on the part of Inarritu and especially Cruise, and it fucking works. I don’t think it’s bombing in the US because of some perceived anti-American bias - we l...

I think it’s unconscionable that we are willing to move heaven and earth to find money for stadiums, but seemingly incapable of doing the same to prevent the closure of schools. My constituents are outraged. They are right to be. There’s still time to fix this, but we’re going to need to lock in.

In your article you mention that some people may want to develop their flame lords equally. I’ve read but not verified that some progress carries over to other flame lords but only if you complete a single flame lord’s path first. If true, would save some time. www.rpgsite.net/guide/21407-...

This is deterministic bullshit, and contrary to the history of leftist struggle. “Anyone who is popular is the enemy” ok good luck building a movement.

I’m also rewatching the OoT trailer every day and poring over discourse because I’m thirsty af for this game. Very similar to how I reacted to major N64 titles in the 90s. I remember rewatching the Banjo-Kazooie promo VHS they sent me in the mail at least two dozen times.

Ocarina remake looks delightful to look at and replaying it will be nostalgic and fun. I’m also concerned that fidelity to the original design will expose that it is far from a perfect masterpiece, with tedious backtracking and uneven dungeons. Here’s hoping they revise more than they’re letting on.

Got to the real end of Big Walk. Both endings were great. Friendship, communication, losing communication but retaining connection. Felt like a metaphor for life. Can’t explain how this goofy looking puzzle game was so profound, but it was.

-Matches last 15-ish minutes if you’re bad, more if you advance to third round -World is pretty cool, graphics are pretty smooth -I can see a lot of potential to explore story, lore, try new characters, gain skills, experience new events, none of which (according to previews) require winning at PvP

-It is PVP except when it’s not. Players don’t get points for killing each other except in prescribed areas -You can play a whole match co-op with another person, form a team with a rival during the match -There’s also temporary co-op with your rivals that works kind of like summoning in Souls

Report on Duskbloods Network Test after playing a few matches -It’s not a Soulslike, it has Souls-esque combat with added mobility -You’re trying to collect Victory Points through combat and non-combat objectives -PvE is one of the first ways you gain VPs; also turning NPCs into your minions

Context: the Revolutions of 1848 pop off right after its publication (making 18th Brumaire a good follow-up) Main points I like to hit are in the slides below. Lately I’ve been adding the note that while Marxist historiography in the Manifesto is stagist, it’s somewhat different from later Marx
Slide 1:

Classes and Conflict
1. Class Struggle defines History
2. History Moves Through Stages as Classes Dominate Production
3. As Production Develops, Society Changes, even in a Single Dominant Mode

With two excerpts:

“The history of all hitherto existing societyt is the history of class struggles.
Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.”

“We see, therefore, how the modern bourgeoisie is itself the product of a long course of development, of a series of revolutions in the modes of production and of exchange.
Each step in the development of the bourgeoisie was accompanied by a corresponding political advance of that class. An oppressed class under the sway of the feudal nobility, an armed and self-governing association in the medieval commune”

Slide 2 has this excerpt:

“The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionising the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
