It’s amazing living in 2025. I just saw a The Who sticker on a Mercedes suv and it made me wonder whether it was Daltrey or Townshend that suddenly shaved their head and got a swastika tattoo. Not if one did, but which one it was.

I feel bad because I started watching Echo and then just started feeling bad about them deciding that Kingpin should be immortal so he can keep appearing in things and not have the Hawkeye series matter at all, and I drifted out, but I did enjoy the new daredevil. I didn’t try ironheart yet.

Ughhh. I wish you could just block the starter pack, but who even knows who made it.

Release the Epstein files, sure but also, who took over the business? You figure a money printing operation of that scale just kind of folded up and went away? That all the ultra rich and powerful people with unlimited resources to spend abusing children just…stopped doing that?

lol, “a deep blue seat” which has nevertheless been filled by Republican mayors for most of the last 30 years, not even including the Adams administration whose policy positions are exactly what a Republican’s would have been.

Listen to Infiltrator, and tell me it doesn’t get your cyborg arm’s flywheel spinning up to punch 100 robots and then furiously make out

Sadly, just like Tron 2, I suspect the movie you imagine this soundtrack is for will be better than the actual movie.

Just like Derezzed and End of Line are the paragons of kickass robots dancing and maybe punching, the one two punch of As Alive and You Need Me to Be and Shadow Over Me really stands out in the annals of driving in the rain at night history.

Like, fuck, could you imagine even accepting this job after Daft Punk’s Tron 2 soundtrack exists? The absolute self confidence, and then actually executing, and producing something this good? Nine inch nails deserves all the credit in the world.

Now time comes for a Tron 3, but Daft Punk, having achieved apotheosis on Tron 2, are no longer making music. But you’re in luck. Trent reznor, while maybe not born specifically to make this soundtrack, has absolutely been dreaming about it for 30 years. And the results are predictably great.

Here’s the thing. You’re making Tron 2, 30 years later. You ask Daft Punk to do your soundtrack. These are two guys who were literally born to write this soundtrack. They’ve been performing as characters from Tron for their whole career. Tron is their entire fucking DNA.

For the last month or so, I had been EXTREMELY excited about the new nine inch nails music for Tron 3, and I’ve taken my time to enjoy it and gather my thoughts. Friends, it is very good. It is not as good as Daft Punk on Tron 2. Outside of that shadow, it’s all we’d be talking about.

Is the context I’m missing here that they’re speaking at some kind of Nazi rally, and the two of them just broke up because she cheated on him with a guy who has a swastika face tattoo?

It’s pretty wild that the law enforcement experience of the current director of the fbi is that he watched like an episode and a half of the robocop tv show and later wrote a letter to ABC complaining about seeing Denis Franz’s butt on NYPD Blue even though he wasn’t allowed to watch the episode.
