In the zone feeling yourself and then you suddenly snap to awareness like OH NOOOOO

I remember in middle school explaining that Voyager was the Star Trek that was the most aware of its pulp space opera roots, so when the Captain Proton stuff came around (and the Delta Flyer with its analog switches) I felt SO vindicated

I brought an entire actual bookshelf full of books into class as like a salesman's sample, which was a fatal mistake as in the process I was telling everyone that I owned these fucking books and they were in my bedroom

In HS civics class we had to make a fake business and do a presentation about it and mine was a used bookstore that sold nothing but pulpy golden age sci-fi novels and I rambled on for 20 straight mins about how great these books are to a stone-faced audience, what I'm saying is I'm ready for this

Seriously though, did they stop selling the Polar seltzer because I haven't been able to find it and this might be a major situation

This took me out

My cat's two favorite foods are cheetos and salmon lox. I got a cat evolved to live in a deli

("4K Ultra HD" on something from 1942 feels wrong)

Donald Gets Drafted — Disney WWII cartoon, restored YouTube video by Coconut Press

The one where he gets drafted and spends the war peeling potatoes because it's all he's good at was, no joke, my first exposure to WWII as a little kid. The second was Wolfenstein 3D

Dad borrowing the beater you drove in high school and listening to whatever CD you've left in it and then coming back like "this was good, tell me more..." What an experience

Benjamin Franklin would 100% have printed a woodcut version of this in his paper

Tom would get really into it

Communion (1989, dir. Philippe Mora)

That's like adding the square footage of a storage unit two towns over to a house listing. How is that legit??

Splice in footage of Crow's eyes burning out of his skull

Gonna be honest, I was scrolling really fast and thought this was Joel

Just did a search for this guy because I needed to see him agaiun

I understand the general forward progress but sometimes I'll be in a meeting abt rollout and training on something new and complex that boils down to "making a phone call" and like what're we really gaining here? Congrats on reinventing "make phonecall on phone" from 1st and much fiddlier principles

doge really did select hires on the basis of "too young to understand that they will likely have personal legal liability" didn't they

Thank you to the people and groups bringing this lawsuit, and to the interviewer for some very satisfying lines of questioning

FWIW their relationship, both professional and personal, ended up being between two mature adults who weren't interested in drama or silliness. The movie isn't anything new, but it knows that and keeps itself fresh by leaving out all the bullshit

It knew exactly what it wanted to do and it did it well. Best Picture? No of course not. Good picture? Yes.

Boardwalk Empire is one of those shows where I just didn't care about 90% of the characters for most of it, but Stephen Root's weird prissy southern assassin opportunist was absolutely in the 10%. He immediately improves whatever he's in

Okay so we have a problem that needs to be solved in days for the global economy not to seize up. What if we gathered the largest tanker truck fleet in the world and sent them all barreling toward a tiny Omani fishing village that’s suddenly the biggest commercial port in the world? Could that work?

I want to know why the icons are something you'd find on like a Bob the Builder knockoff aimed at 5yo boys

Every person alive in 1995 independently thought of this joke and used it once, realized it was weak, and never thought about it again. Even my dad, who will drive a pun into the ground at the barest opportunity, recognized it wasn't that good and dropped it

there is a child-like naivety to the way business leaders approach sociopolitical problems that would be really sweet if it wasn't coming from the leader of a company with 30,000 employees and 3 billion dollars in revenue

Someone get Samuel Pepys on the phone, surely he can fix this
