I went and saw Tron: Ares (2025)
a.k.a. The Nine Inch Nails Extended Form Music Video.
It was particularly better than Tron: Legacy (2010)
a.k.a. The Daft Punk Extended Form Music Video.
and if I need any street cred from the Trent cult,
I saw Nine Inch Nails when they played at Lollapalooza (1991)

I broke two allegedly Murano tumblers while hand washing. They were paper thin and and had a ridge for stacking. I really can't imagine an artisan having any hand in them. And have you seen the size of the island?

I supect that there is a 'Murano' suburb of Shenzen.

That meeting was sickening; Putin loved it — Russian strike hits central Sumy just hours before Trump-Putin summit — Half of Starlink terminals sent to Ukraine found in Russian-occupied areas — Ukraine strikes oil refinery in Russia’s Samara Oblast, command post in Donetsk Oblast … and more

Read article about why modern things are low quality:

https://english.elpais.com/culture/2025-07-20/the-bewildering-phenomenon-of-declining-quality.html

It lefts me with a strange taste of smth like "victimblaming" — like, I know the fabric of my clothes (cotton and linen); I dunno change clothes, electronics and furniture if they are "out of fashion". And a lot of ppl around me do the same.

Where are these mythical ppl, who buy fashionable things each 2 years? Where they earn so much money?!
