Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails is on stage with a microphone. "How are you tonight? Having a good time? Ready to party? Have fun?" he asks. "Well that was the last guys. Wrong fucking band. We're here to have a bad time." The subtitles read (synthesiser playing).

Oh neat! A clip of a random white male skinhead podcaster is your attempt to mock me? Is that right?

I wish I could travel back in time to that teenager with the posters of Trent Reznor on her ceiling and tell her that one day she'll go to see a new TRON film with a Nine Inch Nails soundtrack. She'd lose her shit.

Pretty sure I gained enough xp to level up from the opening titles alone.

Went to see TRON today in IMAX and I'd say just about every Millennial without children in tow (so most of the audience) were in rock/electronic band shirts. Several NIN logos.

It's a music video. It's a fun one.

It turns out that the gamer men have never been okay.

I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.

If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog

Was Ian Watkins the absolute worst kind of unrepentant, disgusting nonce?

Yes.

Did he deserve to die in prison?

Also yes.

Train stations with barriers at least usually have an accessible gate which opens longer, though the assumption that my free hand is the right one causes no end of problems.

That was meant to be "an obstacle course of pallets" but I accidentally some words.

If you're wondering, Asda is the worst. Not just for a lack of staff at the huge array of self-service tills that flip their little red light on at the slightest rustle of a shopping bag and leave you stranded but the aisles being an obstacle course of and box trollies rolling blindly round corners.

Meanwhile M&S remains by far the most accessible shop but sadly the most expensive. Only place I've ever been offered a hand shuffling things around though. The disability tax is real.

And the doors only open for a second. No chance to grab my stick and get ready then leave. Massive ballache.

This is actually a massive fucking pain in the arse when you need to use a mobility aid, too. Self-checkouts initially made shopping a bit easier because I could scan at my own pace and do everything with one hand. Now I need to shuffle everything around (usually dropping my walking stick).

Anon Opin @anonopin.bsky.social · 2d

No Sainsburys, I won't scan my receipt to leave the shop. I've paid for my shopping and fulfilled my half of the contract. You can't trap me in the shop, if your gates break, that's on you

7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film:

1) snow
2) bearded men concealing surprises
3) compulsory party games
4) introverts shunning group activities
5) digestive issues
6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms
7) knitwear

Excellent thread.

Well, I’m tired of hearing versions of this myth repeated over and over again, across the political spectrum.

It’s simply not true, and repeating it unquestioningly does much more harm than good – including to men and boys.

Here’s why it’s not true:

Meme with Kanye and Elon. The caption says "LISTEN UP LIBERAL MY WIFE LEFT ME."

I'm presuming it's some sort of fetish.
