The list of upcoming films from CinemaCon 2025 makes me realize one of two things:
Item 2 is likely true but item 1 is undeniable. As a movie lover I find it incredibly sad to see Hollywood isn’t planning to make interesting films anymore. It’s no wonder I watch mostly older films these days.
The Switch was $299 when it launched and the games were $60.
The Switch 2 console is $500. Switch 2 games will be $80-$90 and are apparently not available as physical media.
BookWyrm, despite its annoying 90s-era spelling, is an “ad-free, anti-corporate, and federated” site for tracking your reading and interacting with other readers. Think of it like GoodReads without Amazon constantly spying on you and trying to sell you stuff. If you’re currently using GoodReads you can import your reading lists and activity directly into BookWyrm. If you’ve got lots of time on your hands you can even host your own BookWyrm installation. BookWyrm uses ActivityPub to send and receive user activity between other BookWyrm instances and services that use ActivityPub (like Mastodon). This enables your self-hosted BookWyrm instance to interact with others. This is a cool idea but I’d rather spend time doing something more productive than self-hosting a site that works perfectly fine over here.
I’m not sure how long I’ll use it or how long it will be around, but I’m finding BookWyrm to be a refreshing change from GoodReads.
