New Stuff for Jan 16, 2026

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) confronts war without heroics, stripping away romance to expose the brutal reality of combat through the eyes of young German soldiers. The film follows idealistic students who enlist believing in glory, only to discover that war consumes innocence faster than it builds honor. From its opening optimism to its devastating conclusion, the film insists on truth over patriotism.

The Southern Reach Trilogy begins with Annihilation, the Nebula Award–winning novel that “reads as if Verne or Wellsian adventurers exploring a mysterious island had warped through into a Kafkaesque nightmare world” (Kim Stanley Robinson).

The SongMarketCap project is currently in its birthday month, celebrating its first anniversary, and this is our second song this year with which we mark the strength of our community.

The song is called “Every Swap You Take (DreamBigSwap.com)” and it tells the story of our new project that we launched a few weeks ago, DreamBigSwap.com, a place for swapping all Cardano native tokens in one place.

This song is for our community. It is for those who have been with us from day one, for those who joined us later, and for everyone who will join us in the future.

It is for all who understand that building our own self sustainable ecosystem is the key that opens the gates of paradise.

And that is why this song is for all of them. To press play, turn up the volume, relax, and enjoy another song that will bring us closer together, keep us united, bring our focus back to our goal, keep us standing side by side, and show everyone that we are indestructible, fearless, that we will never give up, and that with every single day we grow even stronger.

In The Village in Revolt, Shaun Jeffery brings to life The Burston Rebellion that began in 1914 when teachers Tom and Annie Higdon were unjustly dismissed, prompting village children to launch what became the longest strike in history. Sixty‑six pupils walked out in solidarity, sparking a 25‑year boycott that grew into a national movement for fair education. Supported by nationwide fundraising, a new school was built, and the Burston Strike School still stands today as a powerful symbol of working‑class resilience and the fight against rural injustice.
