  • I see folks posting on Mastodon, griping that it’s failing, that it’ll never be as popular as Bluesky and Threads because of X and Y, and I’m like, I’m over there chatting to people all day, having a fine time, following new people, picking up new followers, and generally enjoying it more than I ever really enjoyed Twitter.

    I don’t really understand why those folks want it to be more than it is.

    “Oh, but there are no journalists!”

    Good? I don’t want endless ragebait posted in my feeds. I just wanna be chill, share music recommendations, and enjoy more people interacting with my radio show than ever did on Twitter.








  • I watched the trailer for this earlier, mostly in surprise that the remake actually happened. I had no idea it was finished and ready for release.

    Anyway, while you shouldn’t really judge a movie purely by its trailer, what I will say is that a crucial element that makes The Crow (comic and original movie) work so well is that Eric and Shelley are just normal people trying to live normal lives in shitty circumstances. We can see ourselves in them, falling (no pun intended) into a bad situation through no fault of our own.

    From what I can tell, in this they’ve made them angsty, drug taking edgelords, because that’s…edgier, I guess. Why should we really give a shit about Eric Wick’s revenge tour when we can’t relate to him in the slightest?
