I’ll go with the first one I ever saw, which was “Private Lessons” on HBO at a neighbors house. The scene is *extremely* uncomfortable to rewatch as an adult.

That IBM keyboard was a perfectly elegant design that was quickly past its time when it was released because it was right about then where larger LCD panels were becoming cheap enough to put in reasonably priced laptops. Too bad it didn’t come out a few years earlier. I always wanted one.

A photo of an old magazine page showing a diagram of an FTM type Transbrother and an MTF type Transsister, and a picture of a 2N3904 and 2N3906 semiconductor package with 3 legs. Below is a diagram, with the Base taking in T and removing E for the Transbrother, and taking in E and removing T for the Transsister.

“I learned it from watching you, mom!”

Technically correct (the best kind of correct)

Just got deadnamed in a hospital waiting room where my preferred name is clearly on file, and then, when updating meds, the nurse just acted like “estradiol” was some mysterious thing that she couldn’t find

Started watching Babylon 5 with the kids. We are three episodes in, and they already love Londo and love to hate G’Kar. They also deeply distrust Delenn. This is going to be such a journey.

The tangerine doofus should have to publicly prove that he can do at least one pull-up before he brings back the Presidents Physical Fitness Test.

Did it actually use ROM cartridges or were the cartridges just selecting which built-in game to play?

So I heard part of a Vermont Public story on the radio about some creep who was filming girls in changing rooms and I only got the last name. I was like "I wonder if it was so-and-so" and then I heard the story again and it confirmed, yup, that's the dude I knew. I used to buy comic books from him.

A prism is an AI device that can take an input light source and show you the component spectrum nearly instantly.

I remember this! I used the IBM version in high school, the official IBM pencil was called the “IBM micro-tensioning rod” or IBM-MTR for short. I think DEC had a version as well.

I prefer traveling by trebuchet myself.

He was my favorite when I was a kid in the 80s, never liked HH.

Don’t mess with dinosaurs, especially geese

I mean, if we could repeat that enough in enough places, it would!

Someone needs to train an AI model to generate fake pictures of ID’s so AI powered apps that require you to upload ID’s can be flooded with fake accounts with fake ID’s.

It’s “supposed to be” a workplace safety training video and a workplace safety training video would have a voiceover

That show was a mess. It could have moments as great as any Star Trek has to offer and utterly bafflingly bad writing decisions all in the same episode.

Outlook “reactions” also interact badly with our help desk ticketing system. We have certain users who just love to use them though.

Don’t get me started on YouTube Shorts

Wait, it’s not “zaff-odd”?

Cinnamon raisin goodness!

I once wrote a long autistic post on Usenet about how you could extend the DVD anamorphic standard to support displaying 2.35:1 at full DVD resolution on a 16:9 CRT TV with a squeeze mode, because 16:9 is to 4:3 what 2.35:1 is to 16:9.

This may be the absolute best headline The Onion has ever come up with.

To be clear, I’m all for throwing the book at anyone truthfully implicated in this, including Democrats and people who I would otherwise support.

Everyone needs to get ready for Ghislaine Maxwell naming a bunch of Democrats after the Trump administration leans on her to sign her name on a statement to that effect. They probably have the list already drawn up.

“US Caine Sugar Coke” will be a premium niche product variant, like “Deluxe M&M’s” (remember those?), be twice as expensive, not taste any different, and be just as bad for you.
