(also fuck crypto everything)

Which one set you off? Fav commercial here is still Lays potato chips I think

Today is John Williams’ 94th birthday. I have been thinking about what it means that one man wrote the score for so much of our collective childhood, and it occurred to me that he was seven years old when Wizard of Oz was released.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

It is a wild honor to be in the orbit of any of these organizers — the team at vgmtogether are miracle workers and talented beyond understanding.

Congrats to everyone on a successful event! <3

okay Ben my wife is a maize geneticist who works in academia next to a potato professor so I am biased but 40+ % not knowing this feels insane, like what else would they be made of

I need everyone to realize there are so many AI ads because you have the power to fuck over rich stupid people by simply laughing at all those tools and avoiding them.

They are desperate.

Didn’t know the singer but SSB was buttery smooth and a really nice belt into the bVI extension. Thought it was pretty good!

This morning @sarahpcphd.bsky.social pointed out to me that Simone Biles benched herself almost instantly when she had problems (and then had a successful comeback).

I've been singing this to myself all day
