Just remembered you can pin posts, so let's revive my twitter tradition of pinning a thread of all the movies I watch in a year, so I can look back on them later.

First up:

MC Hawk (wet skeleton era) 🥓☕🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @mchawk.bsky.social · Jan 12

Just watched Civil War (2024)

Like other Garland films, it's well directed, beautifully shot, expertly edited, gripping, yet strangely not really about much.

Not a criticism, per se. I really enjoy his stuff, but I think some of this films critics were expecting something else.

Hundreds of aid trucks carrying food, medicine, and fuel await entry into Gaza at the Rafah crossing with Egypt under the ceasefire.

Because only one culture exists in the world, you know, like we're planet of the week in classic Trek. 👀

Spice was, and continues to be, the biggest inspiration for me (and I'm sure countless others) making content in this space - if you can help it out in any way, you should 💚

Hey all 👋 my living situation has dramatically changed. I should be fine for a few months, but if you'd like to help me make - significantly increased - rent, then any change would be greatly appreciated.

"By vowing to tackle our “island of strangers” through tougher immigration, Keir Starmer is keeping us all trapped on it – by not offering any solutions to the real reasons that explain our estrangement."

An excellent article on the futility of blaming immigration, by @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social

How Our Politicians Created an ‘Island of Strangers’ So They Don’t Have to Make Our Lives Any Better

By presenting tougher immigration as a solution to people’s discontent, Keir Starmer and others sidestep the real reasons why people feel estranged in their lives – it’s a cynical and simplistic polit...

I know I'm late to this party, but Oumou Sangare is one hell of a singer. What a voice.

I just got her album "Timbuktu" and it's beautiful. You should check her stuff out.

I dont know if it's the best, as it's the only one I bought this year, but Zurgo Stormrender is the most fun I've had with a precon in a while.

They need to fire the speaker.

It's not gonna fix everything but it's a start.

We live in a Māori nation. Our Parliament should reflect that more. The haka from the public gallery is an appropriate response to a maiden speech. Suspended Parliament only reminds Māori that they are not welcome to be authentically themselves there. #nzpol

Watch: Haka breaks out after Te Pāti Māori MP Oriini Kaipara's maiden speech, Parliament suspended

Speaker Gerry Brownlee intends to investigate whether anyone knew the haka would take place after Te Pāti Māori MP Oriini Kaipara's maiden speech.

And I'm now watching The Professor's Secret Lair review, and absolutely spitting fire that the Iron Maiden one doesn't even credit Derek Riggs on the cards. The guy invented Eddie.

Wow. WOW! 👀

I've finally looked through the Spiderman MTG set, and you were all correct: this is a shoddily designed set.

No shade on the design team. This is what happens when dickhead MBAs drive the bus.

Thank the gods I'm not a Standard or Draft player. My heart goes out to them.

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black).

be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends.

life is for the living. do it scared.

Magic: The Gathering's Spider-Man couldn't be on Magic Arena so they turned Spider-Man into Magic: The Gathering cards. Does that make sense? NO! Let's talk about this fascinating mess!

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if they are instead gravastars, fuzzballs or something else entirely.

Do black holes exist and, if not, what have we really been looking at?
