Was about to snag a ticket for that hilariously bad looking ice cream splatter film, until I saw that Eli Roth (director) is another one who lost their god damned mind defending genocide.

Screenshot excerpt from Eli Roth's Wikipedia page saying the following:
In March 2024, Roth signed an open letter denouncing Jonathan Glazer's Oscars acceptance speech for The Zone of Interest, in which he criticized the dehumanization of victims of the ongoing Gaza genocide.[110] In June 2025, Roth said that activist Greta Thunberg "needs to be eaten by cannibals" after the Gaza Freedom Flotilla she was a part of was detained by the Israeli Navy while attempting to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip. He added, "If you posted Greta's antisemitic propaganda, you are dead to me."[106]

Very much enjoyed Protest The Hero tonight.

Shocking nobody: Anduril is looking poised to set up shop in Israel.

I hear you and largely agree, but I present the counter-argument of Chinese/Korean style "triangle-cut" wheat noodles.

As much as I agree with, and am proud to include Cory Doctorow's position on Surveillance Capitalism in my Master's Thesis, I just got a reminder of why Zuboff is still fucking awesome, and how both of their takes are great:

Quote from Page 188 of Shoshana Zuboff's "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism":
"If there is to be a fight, let it be a fight over capitalism. Let it be an insistence that raw surveillance capitalism is as much a threat to society as it is to capitalism itself. This is not a technical undertaking, not a program for advanced encryption, improved data anonymity, or data ownership. Such strategies only acknowledge the inevitability of commercial surveillance. They leave us hiding in our own lives as we cede control to those who feast on our behavior for their own purposes. Surveillance capitalism depends on the social, and it is only in and through collective social action that the larger promise of an information capitalism aligned with a flourishing third modernity can be reclaimed."

So much winning, we're not even going to know what to do with it. www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/cisa-hi...

A three-panel “bike-stick” meme. In the first panel, a cyclist labeled “CISA” rides normally while holding a stick. In the second panel, the cyclist jams the stick into his own bike wheel; the text “MASSIVE CUTS FROM OMB AND THE OBBB” appears. In the third panel, the cyclist lies on the ground after crashing, next to a news headline that reads: “CISA, eyeing China, plans hiring spree to rebuild its depleted ranks,” implying CISA is blaming external threats after self-inflicted staffing cuts.

What the fuck is going on on the White House website right now? www.whitehouse.gov/mysafespace/

Yes, there is a red banner beneath it saying the same thing once you close it.

Man. What a god damned joke of a government.

Fires set outside the Democracy66 party hq. Some Windows smashed.

A person in a long dark coat stands near the charred remains of a burned blue object, possibly a scooter or small vehicle, on a city street. Debris is scattered around, and several people are visible in the background, some observing the scene. Bicycles are parked nearby, and the street appears to be in an urban area.

A Dutch police van is parked on a city street next to a charred and damaged area on the pavement. Debris, including burnt materials and scattered trash, litters the ground near a bicycle and a bollard. The scene suggests the aftermath of a fire or explosion.

A building window with a shattered pane, showing a hole in the glass. The window frame is green, and the building exterior is made of grey brick and stone. The scene suggests vandalism or damage to the window.

A multi-story brick building with classic architectural details, featuring large windows and a decorative entrance. A green 'D66' flag is mounted on a pole extending from the building’s facade. Pedestrians are visible walking on the sidewalk in an urban setting.

Here it is. Learning more about the context of the demonstration right now.

Bruno@itsbruno· Sep 20

Looks like a far right (or at least nationalist) demonstration is taking place in town. Apparently they've already set a police car on fire (I don't think that's what's depicted here). I don't have my equipment, but I'll reply here with updates if I have any.

"A crowd of people holding umbrellas gathers outdoors in The Hague, with thick black smoke and flames visible in the background. The text overlay in Dutch reads ‘Das pech woute wagen weg,’ and the location tag indicates ‘Haagse Bos Neighborhood.’

I keep seeing this headline making rounds. Feels really goofy, considering that Ukrainians have been doing this with regularity, and they're not doing it in the comfort of a training area. Weird flex.

Saw "Bring Her Back" the other day, and I'm not sure why I've heard so little buzz about it. Horror genre definitely having a moment right now.

Movie poster for the horror film, "Bring Her Back". It shows a hand ominously caressing the head of a child with disturbing red eyes.

Yoooo, Abbath is self aware enough to sell socks with his face on them. I love it when black metal loses the stick up its ass.

God, I can't wait to finish migrating all of my things off of GoDaddy. Been using Hetzner for a test site, and it's been a billion times better. More control, better performance, way cheaper, and it's based in Europe.

On a much less serious note, while clearing things out of my childhood home, my old 2005 Jackson WRMG and my first ever "gig-ready" amp resurfaced. The guitar is weirdly still in tune after a decade in a closet, and it absolutely rips. The amp, not so much. Trying it on a friend's rig tomorrow.

A dark blue Jackson WRMG Warrior electric guitar with EMG pickups and a Floyd Rose tremolo is leaning against a Crate XT120R amplifier. The amplifier has a black cabinet with a blue control panel and multiple knobs, with “120 WATTS” and “CRATE” labels visible. The guitar is positioned in front of a wooden louvered closet door and a white laundry basket. A black padded gig bag stands upright nearby, and some guitar picks and cables are scattered around the floor.

Will go live in about 10. Going to keep failing miserably at No, I'm Not A Human. If you guys want to give it a watch, I'm going to test out this indie platform, OwnCast (that's self-hosted): stream.itsbruno.xyz If it breaks down, it'll be simulcasting to Twitch: www.twitch.tv/its_bruno

Seems timely that I give this audiobook a spin.

This is what these losers are hung up on when it comes to "free speech" and "weaponization of the justice system". There truly are no principles or self awareness in US libertarians, free speech absolutists, or conspiracy theorists.

Screenshot from the US Libertarian Party Instagram from April 14th of 2025. It has an image of Alex Jones being interviewed by Tucker Carlson. The caption reads: "Earlier this week Alex Jones recorded an episode of the Tucker Carlson Show. During the interview Tucker commented on the apparent “silence” of libertarians and certain libertarian organizations on the abuse of the justice system used against Jones in an attempt to cancel and silence him. This type of violation of free speech sets a dangerous precedent for all of us."

The increased number of toots appearing in my metal over the past 15 years pleases me. (Band: Rivers of Nihil)

God, all of this research I put into class for the US/Biden admin double talk just feels so fucking cute now that the US is just straight up mask off. Still, going to try and turn this around into a solid Moloch article.

On a much lighter note, what the fresh hell is this?
