This 1947 stop motion animation does a brilliant job of explaining why it's so hard to represent a 3-dimensional globe on a 2-dimensional sheet of paper. Directed by Evelyn Lambert, an animation pioneer at Canada's National Film Board (NFB). www.youtube.com/watch?v=blQL...

Decided to start off 2026 with a movie I haven't seen before.*
*I went to a theatrical screening a few years ago but fell asleep so I don't think that counts.

Has anyone here played the Star Wars Lego games? Would they make a good second screen game? Looking for a second screen game for Switch 2, happy to hear other suggestions too! Bonus points if it's currently discounted.

People talk about a double edged sword as something that can hurt others and also you, but it’s like dude you’re supposed to use both edges on the other guy.

YT: You're carrying the Synapse Augmenting Nano Tech Armament, or SANTA
Snake: SANTA?
YT: That's right. SANTA will provide PRESENTS or COAL, depending on your GOODNESS meter.

You'd think with its name it would cover all sorts of stuff, but I've looked into it and Variety Magazine is basically just movie-industry things. Literally 99% of all it is about the movies, and the 1% that isn't is a colophon. Not much of a variety at all if you ask me

The new space is really something and I'm so looking forward to the shenanigans to come.
We're still getting settled but wanted to give you a look at our new studio. Thanks to everyone who participated in our moving sale (closes today, so last chance: maximumfun.org/movingday)! We're so excited to have this nice space and as you can hear, hosts who record here are pumped about it, too!

Honestly, why not? I'm into it. TNG wasn't the same as Lower Decks wasn't the same as ENT wasn't the same as Prodigy. Let's try new things.
