Overheard a teenager deploy "SHUT UP, BRO. You watch AI porn!" as a devastating insult to one of his friends, which sent the rest of their group into a laughing fit.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

In case anyone's wondering how Jeff Bezos feels about climate policy these days, the Washington Post editorial board just heartily endorsed Trump ripping up the EPA's "endangerment finding," which allows the federal government to regulate greenhouse gases as pollutants.

It would honestly have been more thematically interesting if the Excelsior wound up as the Enterprise-A (though then you'd have to give Sulu a different ship)

Our journey into platform adventures before Metroid continues. Can I get my fellow Americans to care about UK computer game history? (If you stick with it, you’ll be rewarded with some Japanese computer games soon.)

I do think that's the clearest gap between the last three seasons and the original run. Nelson, Pehl, Murphy, Conniff, etc. had such a specific, deeply Midwestern comedic sensibility that doesn't align the same as mainstream comedy writers. Paul Chaplin (and sometimes Pehl) could only do so much

the "where was I before I was born" questions are always good and baffling, but also we recently had to try and explain how babies get inside people and that was not an easy one to put forth for a four year old

I’m having this belated realization that there are places in this country where people don’t hear Spanish and other languages spoken all the time (at the grocery store, the post office etc), don’t see store signs in Spanish or other languages. I’m glad I don’t live that way.
