I have a new game! It's one of 35 released for #SpringThing 2025.

Play as a spy w/ access to tech to reverse a thing's name & turn it into something else. You must use it to rescue fellow agents who've themselves been reversed.

Play the Spring Thing games below!

www.springthing.net/2025/play.html

The cover art for Retool Looter. The background is a pale yellow. The first word of the title is red and the second is a more saturated yellow. The second word has had its letters mirrored. The two words overlap and form a brown color at their points of intersection.

Below them is what appear to be a pair of walls meeting at the center of the image, the same red and brown color as above.

The author's name is written at the bottom, "Charm" in the title's yellow and "Cochran" in the title's red.

He cheated on LILY ALLEN, knowing fully well what she was capable of. This album is excellent

I wish people defended smeared victims of sexual violence the way they defend problematic male candidates for office

I was a fan! Different from the first, but good at what it was trying to do.

Review by Charm Cochran
Black Phone 2 (2025)
Four stars, heart
Watched 19 October 2025
"I really dug this. The highs are higher and the lows are lower than in the first film. They tried to take the fear in a different visceral direction this time and while it's not as scary to think about, it's *much* more terrifying in the moment. I found myself cringing away from the screen and looking through my fingers in a way I don't often do anymore. The expanded use of the super 8 is a highlight, as is Mason Thames's performance. While I think things ended up being a bit too easy for them in this installment, I'm absolutely down to go on a franchise journey with this cast."

Every time Karl Glusman pops up in a movie, it’s a nice treat for my eyes

Karl Glusman: handsome, muscular, 6’2”. He’s starred in like three movies I’ve watched this month and every time it was a surprise

AI is going to burst and we are going to see a huge crash, the AI is only as good as the quality of work it steals and feeds off of… what’s going to happen when its eventually taken as many human jobs and is being fed its own slop?

Also I hate AI so much, pay real artists, celebrate real talent.

Trump's FTC just deleted articles by former Chair Lina Khan about the dangers of AI.

Meanwhile, Trump is fast-tracking data center permits after Big Tech gave huge donations to his inauguration.

AI is making the richest Americans even richer while everyone else pays the price.

White men facing consequences for their actions isn't purity testing when everyone else faces consequences for crimes they're not even committing.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”
