- Should "newly created" be hyphenated?

- Yes — "newly-created role" should be hyphenated since it's a compound modifier before a noun. Good catch.

- I thought compound modifiers ending in -ly aren't hyphenated?

- You're right, I was wrong. Adverbs ending in -ly don't take a hyphen because the -ly already signals that it's modifying the next word. So "newly created role" without the hyphen is correct.

My corporate job has a policy where we have to send them proof that we're using the enterprise AI solution they've forced on us. I just sent in this as my proof for the week.

Pitfalls (or, I Played All The Pitfall Games)
Pitfalls (or, I Played All The Pitfall Games) YouTube video by Hollandspiele

When I started this project, I thought there were nine Pitfall games. I was wrong.

A history of the surprising number of Pitfall games, the people who made them, and the company that kept deciding what the world really wanted was a new Pitfall game.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Woobeewoo the mudscamp.

I don't really have a cohesive philosophy about art.

But I think about Woobeewoo -- a mudscamp who lives in a village with no official name, but that he calls South Woobeewoo -- basically weekly, and if I could have that level of impact on like twelve people I think I could die happy.

the human made icon

the human made icon

I want to be a better steward for the Human Made icon. If you have any ideas on how I can get the word out for it more please let me know. Do you think game retailers would be interested in stickers they could pass out? folks interested in pins? What can I do to support you using this icon? a zine?

We went to see Nirvana: The Band: The Show: The Movie tonight and for a minute I thought people were in costume but then I remembered that people my age in Canada just never stopped dressing like that.

More than ever:

Be kind (but put up with no shit.)

Be peaceful (but defend against the violent)

Uplift and hold space for others (but do not give platforms to the intolerant)

Find balance between all (but never suffer those who would tip or destroy the scales)

Steamed Hams full transcript

Well, Seymour, I made it- despite your directions.
Ah.
Superintendent Chalmers.
Welcome.
- I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon.
- Yeah.
Oh, egads! My roast is ruined.
But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? Delightfully devilish, Seymour.
Ah- Skinner with his crazy explanations The superintendent's gonna need his medication When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations There'll be trouble in town tonight Seymour! Superintendent, I was just- uh, just stretching my calves on the windowsill.
Isometric exercise.
Care to join me? Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour? Uh- Oh.
That isn't smoke.
It's steam.
Steam from the steamed clams we're having.
Mmm.
Steamed clams.
Whew.
Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers.
I thought we were having steamed clams.
D'oh, no.
I said steamed hams.
That's what I call hamburgers.
You call hamburgers steamed hams? Yes.
It's a regional dialect.
- Uh-huh.
Uh, what region? - Uh, upstate New York.
Really.
Well, I'm from Utica, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams.
" Oh, not in Utica.
No.
It's an Albany expression.
I see.
You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger.
Oh, no.
Patented Skinner burgers.
Old family recipe.
- For steamed hams.
- Yes.
Yes.
And you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled.
Ye- You know, the- One thing I should- - Excuse me for one second.
- Of course.
Well, that was wonderful.
A good time was had by all.
I'm pooped.
Yes.
I should be- Good Lord! What is happening in there? - Aurora borealis.
- Uh- Aurora borealis at this time of year at this time of day in this part of the country localized entirely within your kitchen? - Yes.
- May I see it? No.
Seymour.
! The house is on fire.
! No, Mother.
It's just the northern lights.
Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow but I must say you steam a good ham.
