The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit
My pals over at The Fluffenbusters recently had me on to chat about the criminally underrated 1998 Dark City. Had enormous fun; a film that deserves way more attention than it gets.

Did they strategically shave a yeti and give it an ambassador position?
Damn dude, I got some shiny keys to jingle at you if you're so desperate to project humanity on unimpressive objects, you goofy child.
I don't know, it seems like the American South's scuttling of Reconstruction efforts and the orchestrated attempt to soften the view of the Confederacy in US education (thanks, Daughters of the Confederacy) sets a strong precedent.
About once a week, so maybe 4 times a month.
Maybe the real "big booms" were the pieces of content we made along the way.
David Cronenberg's "Absalom, Absalom!"
Never a big Narnia guy but this 6 seconds typifies everything I love about British television.
Godzilla '98 was my favorite from that era. Banger of a soundtrack for a movie that was so ass.
Y'all out here just discovering dirty rice? You can really tell people who have never had to eat on a budget.
"Home Alone" but it's these three kids while their parents' vacation is scuttled by an active war zone would make an instant crowd-pleaser.
Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm gonna buy it.

This reminds me to tell you to read my story "Scratches" in Tales of Sley House 2025 (available here www.sleyhouse.com/product-page...)
Dang, I can't believe I missed this when it was new. Great piece. Thanks for sharing it
Hire Julie so that I can play more of her work! Interstate 35 is great.

Ken Marino driving a van and singing “Danny’s Song” but the text has been changed to read “Diane, 11:30 AM, February 24th. Entering The Town Of Twin Peaks”
I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.
I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward

"2026 is the year of the horse"
The horse:
these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion
"I agree with you. I hear you." -- the words said by someone who is doing neither of those things.
Great article and interview.
So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.
Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word “fascism” during press junkets in 2025.

We really could have nice things if the most uncreative people in the world didn't have the keys to the kingdom.
I feel the same way about higher ed.
