Also when it deviates from basic spacial assessments into anything more complex that brains are less hardwired to do. Like, I dunno, geopolitics.

But yeah, that's not touching the deliberate bad activity, just that even in good faith I don't think it'd work in most areas.

It's like a wild extrapolation from "did you know if you average a bunch of guesses about how many jelly beans are in a jar you get a surprisingly good answer" to "well, the masses must always be right"

There should be, like, a few people appointed to put a show on YouTube. The issue is rarely "that one person", it's that there's a bunch of them

I like that there are three people, but the screen is still equal parts Nick and Josh. Perfectly balanced.

There's a special kind of excitement that comes with seeing one podcast you like ( @stillloadingpodcast.com ) is in the discord of another podcast you like ( @smashinggametime.bsky.social ) and actively recording.

Eager to check out the episode later today

This has a real danger of turning into another bad gimmicky cartoon from decades ago that I end up watching.

My wife really loves when I find more of those.

Maybe it's the hair, but is Rocket Robin Hood just a discount Superman?

Behind a cloud is a KIND of eclipse

We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky.

I still have a moderate grudge against clouds from 2012. If not for them, I would've been able to see that I saw a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse, and the transit of Venus in like a month or so.

I did go look up at the clouds to see where the moon was supposed to be, still, though.

But would it reach the level of epic furry?

I so enjoy that moment 10-20 minutes into a weird movie I've gone into blindly when it does something that makes me think I may have found gold.

I watch so many things that let me down to find these moments. Now it's got to keep this going for another hour.

I hadn't thought about that angle for it (more the marketers themselves) but that does complexify things.

A strong contender for "most tone deaf use of advertising"

Maybe this guy should've just watched the walls instead

I think of Apple TV more as the place shows/movies go to never be heard from again

Yeah, which leads to a lot of requests from my wife for chips without telling me which one she means so it's a 50-50 shot because she likes both.

And then there's Australians that call both things chips and it is confusing in a different way.

Not that I disagree, but also not entirely surprising that someone that once posted "I came to this country as an illegal immigrant" is now doing whatever might keep them in good graces of the administration.

How is "the algorithm" not on there? Or is that an impersonal enemy?

In 1994, Tips & Tricks started out their debut issue by explaining the difference between tips and tricks (and also bugs, easter eggs, combos and bosses).

Lucking out because an hour ago this was a sold out screening until someone returned a ticket, but now on my way to Mars.

I sometimes imagine you having one of those "[ ] days since last accident" signs that you end up resetting a lot

Reminds me of some years back there was a story about how agriculture was using most of California's water and some farmer organization pushed back saying that the general environment used more water, and they were just most human use. Like that wasn't going to seem ridiculous.

Folks, please do me a big favor. If you haven’t done so already, please go give @hwoodtimes.com a follow and share this with your friends and enemies.

The paid guests articles are already rolling out, and we plan to do so much more. If you like writer owned comedy and fucking hate AI, we got you.

Yeah, on checking it was 80% of the original music, from like 300 songs in total. Not everything, but a whole lot of it. Solid effort on their part for modern physical media releases.

I've been working through the whole show off and on for a while now (up to mid-Season 3). Shout Factory had a release of it a few years back where they secured something like 90% of the rights to the songs the original show used

If she agreed to the Star Wars Holiday Special, she can't be that hard to get

I'd like to think that all the years I played youth athletics (tee ball until pitching entered the equation and basketball until the end of jr high and things shifted to school teams with tryouts and stuff) prepared me for repeated failure in a way that made it easier to endure grad school

Now the spot I still think I had an idea that would've been more fun is that the sequel to Star Trek (2009) should've just been the crew of the Enterprise celebrating graduation by traveling around Europe, but with a trailer that misdirects

The, uh... Star Trek fans I know disagree with me on this
