BOOK REVIEW: YASCHA MOUNK, THE IDENTITY TRAP: A STORY OF IDEAS AND POWER IN OUR TIME.
Kev Grane reviews Yascha Mounk’s The Identity Trap, whose sharpest contribution is showing how the identity synthesis undercuts its own egalitarian aims.

Sidra Review
So, Apple Music has two problems: The Windows app kinda sucks. There's no app for Linux. The Linux part, I can understand. The Windows part, however, I don't - right now I've got a problem where it says "An unknown error occurred", and I think it's because I had to briefly use Wi-Fi instead of...

(Updated) Harry Potter 《Mudblood》 fanfilm review
Curious how the American magical community fits in the original Harry Potter storyline?
Masters Of The Universe (Travis Knight, 2026)⭐⭐⭐
How do you make a watchable movie out of not just a 44-year old IP that was created purely to sell action figures, but one that was extremely cheesy at the time? The answer is to assemble a cast and crew who completely understand the assignment and hit the daftest elements harder than the Most Powerful Man In The Universe™ punches Skeletor.
The Son in Frame, the Father in Question: On Leech (2021)
It's 1994. Bahman has failed seven subjects, and his father, Abbas Kiarostami, is furious: "A child's duty is to study" (though getting good grades isn't incidental). He blames Bahman's failure on the four days he spent shooting his own film, but both of them know that's not the real reason; he failed the previous year too.
Zork and the social impact of design choices
A bad game from 1993 taught me that humanity isn't necessarily doomed.

My Trek Through Trek — The Original Series, Season 2
Y'all... Star Trek is so back! Or, well... It was back then, during the 1967-1968 season, anyway! That's when Star Trek returned to NBC's airwaves with its second season. And they were trying to get us to take it seriously this time! There's even a brand spankin' new title sequence — this time introducing the show as having been created by Gene Roddenberry, and including DeForest Kelley as another star alongside the season one duo of Shatner and Nimoy. Walter Koenig's Ensign Chekov is just intro...
Slouching Into Summer: Let’s Get Physical
I’ve been 37 for all of one month, though this month alone has aged me a decade. A cluster of recurrent issues at work—ghosts of bad decisions past—have returned to haunt the codebase, and since I’m the last soul standing from that era, the blame has naturally settled on my shoulders like a heavy, unfair...

My Trek Through Trek — The Original Series, Season 1
I've finally finished watching the complete first season of the original Star Trek series. About 2 months ago, I decided to set out on an epic rewatch of every single iteration of the franchise that is currently available. This year, the huge sci-fi franchise is celebrating its 60th anniversary, so it seemed kinda timely. I announced it on my Bluesky account and for the first handful of episodes or so, I also treated (mostly annoyed) my followers to live posts. You know, like live tweeting, whic...
