Harlequin (1992), a 2D platformer for the Commodore Amiga.
You play a harlequin—naturally—wandering through the surreal land of Chimerica, firing hearts instead of bullets. Only love can neutralize these bizarre enemies, which already makes it stand out from the glut of mascot platformers of the early ’90s.
Thing is, Harlequin isn’t just a straight run-and-jump game. You flip switches that change entire levels, then backtrack to see how the world has transformed. One moment you’re bouncing through “Cutesy Land” (a cheeky Mario spoof), the next you’re scaling clocktowers, hopping across organ pipes that play real notes under your feet, or drifting into “Hellzapoppin.” The design is eccentric, and deliberately so.
And yes—the Amiga shows off here. Smooth eight-way scrolling, vibrant pixel art, and the kind of big, weird level themes that the ST port could barely keep up with. Barry Leitch’s soundtrack is the real hook, though—lush, melodic, and far more memorable than the sparse sound effects. On a stock 512K Amiga you even had to choose between loading music or SFX because it couldn’t handle both at once.
Despite glowing reviews at the time (ACE gave it 900/1000, Amiga Power 91%), it never made it to console. A Mega Drive version was in the works, rebranded as Madness: House of Fun, but it got canned. Today the only “modern” way to play it is on Antstream or via a WHDLoad install on real hardware. And that’s a shame, because this is easily one of the best platformers of the 16-bit era—quirky, clever, and criminally overlooked.

The image depicts a scene from a video game, featuring a character in green armor seated at a desk, facing a computer monitor. The monitor displays four grotesque, demonic creatures with red skin, horns, and menacing expressions, arranged in a 2x2 grid. The title "ZOOM" is prominently displayed at the top of the image in bold, stylized letters with a fiery gradient. The background consists of a stone wall, adding to the game's dark and ominous atmosphere. The character's posture and the computer setup suggest an interactive gaming experience.

The video captures a sequence of events in a hallway with a reddish-brown floor and beige walls, featuring a person in dark clothing interacting with a door. The scene is viewed through a security camera, indicated by the timestamp and date in the top left corner, and the text 'Understandable' at the top of the frame. Initially, the person is seen standing near the door, attempting to open it. They struggle with the door, using both hands and eventually stepping back to apply more force. The person then steps back, holding a black object, possibly a bag, and continues to struggle with the door. Eventually, they manage to open it and step back, leaving the door slightly ajar. The person then bends down, possibly to pick up or adjust something near the door. The video concludes with the person standing up and moving away from the door, leaving the hallway empty except for the black object on the floor. Throughout the video, the text '[@]smotrinetupi' is visible at the bottom of the frame, likely indicating the source or creator of the video.

The anti-trans movement was always about imposing an authoritarian view of gender. And it's an authoritarianism not limited to policing trans identities, but is instead about making it impossible for anyone to deviate from "traditional" gender roles. My conversation with @gbbranstetter.bsky.social.

Okay, well, I’ve started a blog about language and the far right. It’s called Total Propaganda. It’s a plain vanilla Wordpress blog, but you can also subscribe to it as a newsletter and pretend this is 2025. And best of all, I guarantee that it is and shall remain AI-free.

So there you have it. I wrote in the first post that I hope to do one of these every week. Three posts in, that already seems like an absurdly ambitious goal, although I might get closer to it if I can learn to write shorter posts (also, I was on vacation for a week in August, so I don’t write quite as slowly as it might appear).
In any event, I hope this will be useful to some folks. Talking about the far right in terms of language sounds kind of abstract in light of all the real-world violence they actually do. But all that violence begins and spreads through ideas and their communication. The whole idea of rhetoric is that it persuades people and gets them to think differently about things. And if we can understand how fascists use language to manipulate people, it makes it easier for us to undermine their work and protect ourselves and our communities.
PS: If people who are on Bluesky wouldn't mind boosting this, I'd be grateful for it. I'm really pretty allergic to other people's attention, but I think there's a lot that's being missed in the current discussions about the international descent into fascism, and I think this will be a way to address at least some of it. For that reason, I'd like to try to promote this a little bit.

An exasperating barrier to fighting the emergency emergency is the absence of any obvious legal strategy to halt Trump’s overuse of emergency declarations. Perhaps the answer is that judges start granting less deference to the executive branch.

The image depicts a dark, mystical landscape at night. In the foreground, there are jagged, pointed rock formations emerging from a body of water, which has a bluish tint, suggesting a cold or icy environment. The rocks are dark and appear to be covered in moss or algae, adding to the eerie atmosphere. In the background, a partially submerged structure with columns and arches is visible, hinting at a once-grand building now in ruins. The sky is overcast with dark clouds, and a beam of light pierces through, illuminating parts of the scene. The overall color palette is dominated by blues and dark tones, enhancing the mysterious and foreboding mood of the image.

Expansive political liberty invariably upsets right-wing cultural and social pattern preferences. That's why, while the American right has always talked in the rhetoric of liberty, it didn't just not actually mean it, but it would've in fact been ideologically incoherent for it to mean it.
