Happy birthday!

The zoelope, a deer that’s only visible when rapidly rotating

Today I Learned!

Oh shit, is this “The Party”? I loved this movie as a kid. Alas…

and I recommend the Making Of doc (“Don’t Crash”). I DID help with that. You can find the whole thing online

*BEAMS* that makes me so happy to hear, thank you!

(Also, to be clear, my involvement was so tangential that it’s weird I’m in the credits at all - absolutely zero to the movie itself, but I helped with some of the artefacts around it)

YAY, HELLO, HOPE YOU LIKED IT

(Honestly, i feel like the movie gets bashed rather more than it deserves – though I am clearly biased – but it does have some serious problems, such as the dialogue audio being really unclear)

Can we start collecting American reactions to Reeves & Mortimer

Step inside what you can’t see
Let’s make their lives scary

I can always pull a crowd
And when I’m finished, I’m gonna need that attorney

I’m blastin’, quicker than a ghost
I’m here to leave you yearning

I’m gonna blast ‘em out

looking FANTASTIC

looking forward to you as the Airhorn Fairy

A man with a beard, his face obscured by the hood of the onesie he is wearing, that makes him look somewhat like a seal. There are Guinness flags and a view of the street in the background.

BAYBEHHH
I would like from you a FISH ON THE NOSE in the Haight

Yesterday @danhon.com posted about “the Microsoft Office of videogames” and I somewhat fell in a hole with this thread

So if you want Windows/Office-themed games, you’ve come to the right place!

i'm sorry about this Dan, you tripped something in my brain right when I'm meant to be practising a sales pitch

THANK YOU, I was hoping I wouldn't have to be explicit about the reference

time-traveled back 20 years to show PAX attendees what video games look like in the future

i barely escaped with my life. shouldn't have started with vampire survivors

Picard: Computer, think deeply about the difference between Earl Grey and Darjeeling

Riker: Computer, we have incoming fire! Raise shields!

Computer (suffering from context pollution): Ah, it seems you want me to research a new shielding made from tea leaves. That’s unusual, but sounds like fun!

There are a bunch of these already - Grist, Hyperformula, Nocodb, and others. The problem isn’t the lack of products, it’s that you’d need to review them, pick & learn one, then work out how to host it with enough availability that you feel confident in using it repeatedly. GSheets is just easier

Tay if we buy you some shit from the Steam Roguelikes sale will you stop

OH BOY

it’s fine. Just extend the bit between 5GL and NL for about ten feet, of which nine are filled with languages that claim to be “basically natural language” yet, to the surprise of their creators,

A picture of Michael Dorn, forlorn

Dorn’s forlorn

Good point. IIRC, Bartlett wasn’t originally meant to be in every episode, not even making his debut until several episodes in, but yeah, constantly referenced.

(Another fantastic late entrance but similarly foreshadowed: David Tennant’s first monologue as the Doctor, in the first Xmas special)

A “Bloom County” comic strip, by Berke Breathed. Panel 1: Image of a basselope - basset hound with antlers - sitting on a rock. Commentary says: THE AMERICAN BASSELOPE. A STRANGE AND MYSTERIOUS BEAST WITH AN UNCANNY POLITICAL SIXTH SENSE FOR THINGS THAT YOU AND I CAN ONLY GUESS AT ! Panel 2: The basselope continues sitting there. Panel 3: The basselope’s ears suddenly shoot outwards and upwards with a “ZING!” Panel 4: The basselope says to Milo Bloom, passing by: “Gary Hart has ended his celibacy.” Bloom responds: “Beg pardon?”
