It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

My favourite episode of that show was the one with the guy who was in Ford's Theatre the night that Lincoln was shot.

This is so good! It's not 15000 words just to say "prices shouldn't go up bc the market can't bear it". (Although he does also cover that!) Even though it's been 20 years since I was in the industry, plus ça change. There's so much in this article that I recognise. Doc knows what he's talking about.

Aww, poor guy. Hopefully they're not too booked up and he can get looked at sooner. 🤞

Marathon by D. Alexander Smith.

Currently packing up all my books, and thought some people might find this one interesting: 'Marathon' by D. Alexander Smith, published in 1982. It's a book about the crew of an interstellar spaceship who are terrorised by the ship's AI which develops a runaway super-intelligence.

That's actually my favourite thing about Belgian Dutch, because I suck at the gutteral G. 😅

In his later years, my cat had arthritis in his hips and needed help to get up and down from the couch, so I got him one of these and it helped a lot.

Title screen from the TV show 'Twin Peaks', except the title has been replaced with 'The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'.

66 replies and 72 quotes, and not a single one of them mentions @docseuss.bsky.social's excellent article on exactly that subject. What are we even doing here?

Nobody tell Judge Alsup—this long lost bit of film history only exists today because of unauthorized copying!

It's really interesting how the Fukushima earthquake and resulting tsunami is what pushed Hollywood to finally fully embrace all-digital workflows.

How To Backup Cartridge Saves on an Analogue Pocket - Retro Handhelds One of the best-unmarketed features of the Analogue Pocket is that it can back up save files from cartridges. You don't need any additional hardware, nor do you have to do anything all too involved, i...

I haven't tried it with the camera, but I don't see why the Analogue Pocket wouldn't be able to do it using the same method as game saves.

I'm still in the market for a red camera to match the box that recently came into my possession, but once I do get my hands on one I'd be willing to try it out.
