KD^3C^3 - 30360705 I'm not a monument to justice
Let's do a link dump. Here's some things I've enjoyed lately.
Alex Jones lost a lawsuit for lying about the Sandy Hook families, and as par of a long and ongoing legal battle to get those families paid, The Onion bought the intellectual property Rights to Alex Jones' brand Info Wars. The are actually still things working their way through the court, but Alex Jones no longer controls the Info Wars brand and has had to launch a new website. I don't care about at that all, but what I do care about is The Onion doing their absolute best to destroy the brand by handing it over to comedian Tim Heidecker, who has a spot on vocal impression of Alex Jones. This has led to the first video posted on the new Info Wars youtube page. The lead story? Alex Jones exploded, is now dead and has been replaced by an imposter. Which is a very funny inversion of the lies Alex has made a lot of money telling. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnz6PTSXiI0 (also links seem to be maybe not working, so I'm dropping the full URL)
"Kaiju Agonistes” by Scott Lynch is one of the novelette's currently nominated for a Hugo award this year. Novelette is kind of a silly category, but that's not important right now. This particular story really tickled my fancy. It's about humanity responding to the appearance of a giant monster that appears after we drop the first nukes and the unique problems that monster has with humanity. I'm not sure if it will be the top of my ballot, but it will be close. https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/kaiju-agonistes/
Sony ripped a bunch of digital movie purchases out of people's accounts, and then within a week announced they were going to stop making playstation games on discs. I was going to write about it, but they my friend Hex basically said everything i would have said, plus some extra stuff I hadn't thought about. so go read his blog instead. https://laserdisc-rot.blogspot.com/2026/06/in-defense-of-physical-media.html
I've occasionally heard about Nirvana The Band The Show on and off for years. And that happened again when the two guys who make up Nirvana The Band made Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie, which is supposed to be very good and also very funny. I haven't seen it, but I did discover a fan run website that helps everyone to access all the original content. It's tricky because it started as a webseries, then became a real TV show and then became a movie, so the rights are all a little convoluted, but this seems like the best place to start. https://nirvannathebandthe.show/
Ok, have a good week!
