"You know, I haven't had a standard Sam Adams in a really long time. Can I remind myself why that is, please?" #SamAdams

Original context: a discussion on Richard III, and how different some sequences are depending on how much of Margaret's text is left intact. The more she speaks, the more powerful she becomes, and the more one realizes how much Richard is setting his own trap. A lot is lost without her.

Come on then, and remove him.

Step aside, and I’ll show thee a president.

The responsibility of editing @shakespeare.lol: every line you take out will have an impact on another line of the text or how it is interpreted. With every 'combined' pair of characters (say, 2 gravediggers into 1), there are implications to be addressed. Choose #Shakespeare 's words with care.

one of my better #aprilfool jokes from 2011 (so yeah, a little dated now)

Nintendo has released a new game for the Wii Fit that allows kids to learn their neighborhood by simulated walks on the balance board using pictures from Google Street Views.

They call it Wii Wii Wii All The Way Home.

Rush performs Finding My Way live | 2026 Juno Awards YouTube video by CBC Music

They officially released just the except: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVw-...

and yeah, they all rocked it perfectly

Today's C&H on gocomics. One of Waterson's absolute best of the best.

i still have one VCR left where I need to change it from flashing 12:00 to flashing 1:00. #DST #DSTSucks

just a note, I always associated what you call "Postel's Law" here as being from Knuth, but i'm open to clarification.

I will never cease to be impressed by this bard's genius.

New term: "Bullslop" - to be used when you see an AI story that invents something (like a celebrity interview with a right-wing host) that never happened. Most recent going around is a story of #JethroTull 's Ian Anderson suing after a tv interview with Hegseth.

one hopes, but a clean free still has to go against what i'm seeing as a huge 1-2-4 from Japan.

a 10 point deficit is MUCH hard to get back than a 3 or 5. Liu's got better medal hopes at this point among the three.

that said, i think of any, Levito was underscored.

The difference between the two sides of #wintersports:

If your event is on ice, the ice is the one thing most likely to break your ass.

If your event is on snow, the snow is the one thing most likely to save your ass.

#olympics

and, scene. :)

and this is news...how? :)

the AI slop of the Xfinity Jurassic Park thing, on the other hand...

Ok that NFL-sponsored commercial using the Mr. Rogers song just told the people paying for the ICE commercial what they can do with themselves.

The "lets remind gen-x how old they are with a gen-x era hit song" (Phil Collins' Take A Look at Me Now' promoting a urine health supplement) didn't do me any favors.

I hate commercials. I wanted to see how large a lawnmower they needed to chop down Bad Bunny's halftime set. #superbowl #nfl #badbunny

Call of the Champions (The Official Theme of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games) (Voice) YouTube video by John Williams - Topic

Taking a break from watching (since it is all recaps right now) and listening to this great collection...

yeah, I just read about the Dawkins-Krauss(-Epstein) connection and how they were talking about countering you from @pzmyers.bsky.social 's blog a few minutes ago.

House speaker Johnson is so much kissing ass that the AP has had to admit even AI can't color-correct his lips in photos anymore.

On how the #LotR #RotK EE didn't fully include all of the "Samwise the Brave" material (it begins AFTER he's passed the watchers using the Light of Galadriel),

"I kind of have a problem that a 3 1/2 hour film couldn't find a way to include a scene that a 90 minute animated film managed to fit in."

"I've got to get dressed to go out of my mind" - Adrian Belew, 1994...and the mantra for anybody still WFH and in desperate need for a change of scenery.

Red-hat wearing idiots are dropping their CostCo memberships because CostCo decided to sue Trump over the tariffs that are illegal.

Yes, these idiots are dropping their CostCo memberships because CostCo is trying to reduce inflation and save them money.

shit you just can't make up...

Breathtaking shot from Breckenridge, Colorado 🌈🇺🇸 A display of multiple stacked rainbows arcing over the forests of central Oregon — an extremely rare optical phenomenon that happens when sunlight scatters through layers of rain at just the right angles. Moments like this are so uncommon, they feel almost unreal — nature painting with every color it has.

Making a crockpot of chili (6 hours mode).

Talking to myself (well, to the chili ingredients).

To the chili - next beer at 4:30.

To the can of beans - you go in at 5.

To the masa flour - you go in at 6. No, 6:30. Bring a friend.

God bless Alan Rickman. This is immortality. #AlanRickman

I think you're missing one thing (maybe because it is unverified?). Greene wants the GA Senate nomination 2026.

47 and the Party allegedly refused to endorse her, meaning she'll have a primary fight on her hands. Given the climate, she's tacking to the center to try to look winnable.

For how can tyrants safely govern home,
Unless abroad they purchase great alliance?
