The man can get his country into NATO, I’d say he has earned his retirement.

Surprised no one’s brought up Futurama yet.

Both of those mice have weights you can add or remove to your liking. Maybe you took a few out of the old mouse so it was lighter?

Terry Pratchett wrote, “Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?” but I don’t think he had data brokers in mind when he wrote it in 2004.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom OF SCIENCE!

Shortesy is a spin off of Letterkenny. Great show, so long as you’re comfortable with some blue comedy.

Trump was right about one thing, we are a nation in decline, but it’s not for the reasons he’s claiming.

GeForce 256 on my first Windows computer when I went to college. Before that, I was using motherboard graphics on a series of Macs growing up.

No one’s said pineapple yet? Hawaiian is a staple pizza variety.

Reminds me of a passage from my favorite Discworld book, Night Watch.

“I didn’t think you was stupid, Mister Vimes…”

“What?” said Vimes, looking down suddenly. Carcer was smiling cheerfully.

“I said I didn’t think you was stupid, Mister Vimes. I know a clever copper like you’d think I’d got two knives.”

“Yeah, right,” said Vimes. He could feel his hair trying to stand on end. Little blue caterpillars of light were crackling over the ironwork of the dome, and even over his armour.

“Mister Vimes?”

“What?” Vimes snapped. Smoke was rising from the weathercock’s bearings.

“I got three knives, Mister Vimes,” said Carcer, bringing his arm up.

The lightning struck.

It didn’t matter what the question was, Trump kept turning it back to immigration. He’s only got one talking point, and it’s based on fear of the other.

I am so sad this was Kevin Conroy’s final time voicing Batman. The man deserved to go out on a high note.

There are people born after 9/11 that can now legally drink. By Christmas, there will be people born after The Return of King was released that can drink.

Air BnB is destroying the housing market in my area. That said, it’s exposing a demand for something that doesn’t otherwise exist. In addition to hotels, people also want to be able to rent larger spaces, with a kitchen so they don’t have to eat out every night, and multiple bedrooms so the adults don’t have to go to bed at the same time as the kids. Hotel developers should be taking notes.

I think I only watched the theatrical cuts twice: once when they came out, and a second time when the Film Society played them second run at the on-campus theater, so… 2004?

Except for Bolivar Trask, he was a Dwarf.

The Into the Spider-Verse trailer avoids the plot twists and reveals while showing off their new animation style. I think there’s one or two lines and scenes in the trailer that didn’t make the movie itself, I don’t remember Miles and Peter sitting on a subway bench having a conversation. (It may have been a red herring, to avoid showing the actual scene with additional characters.)

I hadn’t heard the Mac story before. I wonder if it’s legit, as I don’t think the Mac, or the Lisa before it, ever had the equivalent of a My Computer icon. Disks appear directly on the desktop; dragging a disk to the trash can ejects it if its removable media, and the only type of disk the original Mac had was a 400KB single-sided 3.5” floppy drive.

This one would really hit during pandemic lockdown.

The player clicked on the Builder button, then clicked on me, so now I build a staircase into the sky.
