A Spirit Halloween costume that reads Doctor, but is clearly a depiction of Jesus. It includes a robe, red sash, wig, and beard - exactly how doctors are always shown in media.
Wasnât this the plot of Westworld
my LEGALITY IS OUR FOURTH PRIORITY shirt
You may not know @taskmaster.tv. It's hilarious & joyful. I begged to do it, worked out my schedule a year ahead of time to make it happen & got to do the best show on TV w/ the loveliest ppl. Ep 1 is out &, trust me, you need this joy. All seasons free on youtube.

It's not so much a team situation, as it is that the rankings are based on points and forfeit wins attract zero points (since nobody assigned any points to questions)
So if you forfeit, your opponent gets credit for the match "win," but the lack of points screws them over in the overall game
listen here elite dark mode hackers, im 41 and im simply too old to learn a new way to look at screens
It was a very good day if I got 3/5 right, and the fun and novelty were sucked out of it pretty fast.
But also because of the scoring mechanics, if you were to just peace out and just forfeit the rest of the season, then itâs a real dick move to the other players
I did 10 ish years ago, but it started feeling to me more like a daily chore to be done than a fun game to play, and so I bailed out.
I went to ACPT in person in 2019 and got my ass handed to me on a silver platter
I knew I was completely cooked when Will Shortz said we were going to film a video get well card for Alex Trebek, and a third of the room raised their hands when asked if they were Jeopardy contestants
This was the blue screen demo, iirc it was the next stop on the tour right after the boat-in-a-storm demo where they gave some random guest a yellow rain slicker and blasted them with water cannons
I have a core memory of 10 year old Ben being picked to ride the Honey I Shrunk The Kids bee during the backlot tour
RIP
Last month I bought some tickets through an allocation at work, with option to buy for the final if you wanted to put up the $8500 a head to do so
Couldn't imagine spending *that* much, let alone double that
(I got some "cheap" tickets to a group stage match)
Part of building this was building Heron's very own AppView to hydrate documents with publications and subscriptions.
heron.tunji.dev is well and truly in the atmosphere now :)
I beg to differ, I most definitely did HACKY things when building this game
This lives rent free in my head
Let me tell you about another hero who left the planet during Passover, slingshotted around the moon, and miraculously returned to earth.
This. The dream of the 90s is dead. Cheap rent enables every kind of creative work and nothing else can substitute for it.
Coincidentally I read this just after playing with iOS 26.4âs new generative playlist feature.
And it just sucks so much. It over-rotates on your listening habits so much. You canât steer it away from safe and boring picks.
Couldnât be more on the nose, even if it had laser guided nose radar
The people NASA shoots into space have nerves made of an alloy of adamantium and mithril
"You're on the space station and suddenly unable to talk, and it takes a week before you get home" sounds like the plot of a summer horror movie that does decent numbers
They discontinued ketchup Doritos and I have had Big Feelings about their absence
A Caltrain locomotive covered in white shrink wrap
The shrink wrap locks in the trainâs freshness and delicious taste
TIL these are a thing and now I am going to go broke importing these
Thank you, @charlespulliam.bsky.social, for this absolutely perfect summary:
"HBO has released the first trailer for its upcoming Harry Potter series, which will help fund executive producer J.K. Rowlingâs ongoing crusade against transgender people."
tbqh my kids need road trip pee breaks about as frequently as we have to charge up, so those stops cancel each other out and itâs not a huge net-new amount of time spent off the road
Iâve been driving electric for five years now. We have been an all-EV household for four.
People overthink road trips, and underestimate how every other morning itâs like you get a full tank at home and you didnât pay $60 to fill it up.
The best part about being in SF for 2 weeks is that I can easily see the 70mm IMAX cut of it twice
