Lots to unpack there in the Wuzzles theme song.

Cancel all my calls for the day something came up

I am of the opinion that reading books where good triumphs evil is something every child should be exposed to.

What an absolute queen - worth the price of admission; straight up if Marina Sirtis is talking at a thing, go see her!

GO for the moon! Beaming well-wishes for a safe journey home up into the firmament with my Kim Deal-style acoustic cover of All Star by Smash Mouth.

Would love if you'd take a listen 🧡

Let me step in and say that it's pretty fun if the WTC thing (it getting destroyed in a 1991 comic) doesn't bother you.

It's #VGMFriday, time for an all time classic:

You got the power
(HAHAHAHA)
You got the might
(NO WAY)
Get ready for battle
(GIVE ME YOUR MONEY)
Beat the Black Knight
(HAHAHAHA)

I think about that article you wrote about Youtube time travel all the time. The matchbook collecting (and indulgently using) feels like another time travel technique, and yeah ... we have a little collection of these too.

Neither did I. Awesome.

People make things that seem trivial in the moment, but become parts of the heart and soul for so many; let's celebrate them. RIP Kishimoto san.

Where Or When Cover by FayMai | Rodgers and Hart Acoustic Cover YouTube video by FayMai

A classy jazz standard from a bygone era, yeah, that's this week's song.

Would love if you'd take a listen 🧡

After you posted that early mention of roleplaying from Games and Hobbies I checked in the folder of issues I grabbed at a car-boot last year to see if I had that one; mine are even earlier (1973!), but there he was, and I got got good.

If I'd known how much hot monorail action there was going to be, I'd have played The Talos Principle 2 long ago.

@mattdwilson.net @theisb.bsky.social Listening to the latest pod and boy, a person could forget that the Kamandi map is essentially the best thing ever kirbymuseum.org/blogs/effect...

Happy TDoV, have a pic of Girlmode Ranma hatching from an egg that predates the literal Trans flag

Trouble for Me Britney Spears Acoustic Cover YouTube video by FayMai

Two songs this week, so the ones that would wallow in my drafts actually get some love! Here's some acoustic Britney:

And uninstalling previously decent language learning apps because they no longer want to employ native speakers when they can make robots vomit little soul-less videos at you.

A New Name For Everything Cover | The Weakerthans Acoustic Cover YouTube video by FayMai

HAPPY FRIDAY! Two songs this week, so the ones it's somehow never *quite* the time for finally see the light of day.

A tad polar to the Britney, this one's originally from sensitive alt-rockers The Weakerthans, off one of my favourite albums of all time: Reconstruction Site.

Please, for the love of all that is holy*, could the AI bubble burst so Big Business can stop telling the emperor how nice he looks.

*Effort. Care. The Process. Emotion. Invention. Intention. And a thousand other human conditions that make Art more than just something in galleries.

I'm playing Space Marine 2. Pity my oldster status, but I can't shake the feeling that primaris marines are silly. Also, Mark Strong, I miss you already.

Or "GM introduces his favourite NPC/self-insertion character and emphasizes how much more competent he is than the PCs by having him save everyone by fighting off high level enemies"

Part [lots] in my "You know, Elton John songs are really great" journey.

(ofc this cover is really great also)

I'd love to know whether there's a predecessor worked medium to wrestling, the missing link on the Wrestling -> Top Gear -> Scripted Reality -> Cultural Collapse timeline

That 2-man submarine was a massive nostalgia bomb

This week I'm going to see the play of To Kill A Mockingbird, and I'm both excited and trepidatious, because stories of racist injustice leave me what I call Green Book Angry.

Before that, I'm going to read the book for the first time.

Wish me luck.

The timeline of this song for me:
1. TLoaS releases; "Huh, this one reminds me of Bowie ... Lady Stardust maybe?"
2. Taylor releases the Cabaret version, with Mike Garson-ass piano and it's glorious
3. Now there are three great versions of this song:
