Очередной Новый Год на носу, а значит, срочно нужно придумать очередной новогодний проектик и написать про него статью. И я придумал сделать интро-поздравление для ZX Spectrum. Да не современное, поражающее невообразимыми эффектами, а напротив, в максимально классическом стиле очень ранней демосцены. Заодно это повод рассказать про особенности национальных хакерских традиций в зимний и иные периоды. Сведём же новогодние олдскулы зарядом концентрированной ностальгии! Читать далее Read more ›

MAGA thinks the country needs more stay-at-home parents, especially mothers. The goal isn’t just to boost plummeting birth rates, but to help children and families with policies that are more family-focused than work-focused. “It’s not just about increasing the total number of children,” Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri told the New York Times. “It is […] Read more ›

The same Supreme Court that ruled that President Donald Trump is allowed to use the powers of the presidency to commit crimes finally placed a meaningful limit on Trump’s authority on Tuesday.

Over the last year, the youngest generation of American voters have scrambled a lot of our understanding of politics. The Gen Z cohort swung hard toward Republicans last year, moving anywhere from 6 to 21 points toward President Donald Trump (depending on the data source) compared to 2020. But, they now appear to be just as […] Read more ›

One Battle After Another is, perhaps, too on the nose. Paul Thomas Anderson’s epic depicts past and present revolutionaries fighting back against a heavily militarized, white-supremacist regime that seemed to mirror reality in the United States when the movie hit theaters in late 2025.
