There's a division of labor among people with a round bottom. Some wobble; others fall down.

Legless stunt actor Matthew DeMeritt played the alien in the 1982 film E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL in scenes where the other performers (both little people) could have broken their bones. Interviewed in 2024
I’m not joking

Apparently there were two other actors of small stature who had fragile bones, so he volunteered to be the stunt E.T. and did any scene where E.T. falls down or gets hit

With that winter storm rollin' along, it never gets old to chace the icy blues away with board games! Just don't waste batteries on the electronic features in case of power outages.

Based on current events in the United States, personal injury and wrongful death lawyers familiar with the Federal Tort Claims Act 1946 will see increased demand for services. If you or a loved one has been hurt by ICE, ask your lawyer if a tort claim is right for you.

Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish have a word for "toe". Most other languages of Europe and North Africa periphrastically use "fingers of the feet".

Yet Danish, Dutch, and German call gloves "hand shoes".
The green countries are lack toes intolerant

"Separate the art from the artist"? That's hard while the artist still earns a royalty and spends it on harassing critics in court or promoting intolerance.

"The Death of the Author"? The author's heirs aren't dead and can keep a biography from being published. Copyright encourages intentionalism.

why are so many people okay with outsourcing coding efforts to what is a pretty expensive (and despite that, a loss leader) subscription to a remote machine. it feels like the entire ideal of self-hosting/computing sovereignty has been completely forgotten in the sea of LLM technology discourse

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.”

USA bans flammable fabrics in children's #sleepwear (16 CFR 1615-1616). Polyester is the common substitute. Yet washing synthetic fabric produces 35% of all #microplastics. Choi et al. found in 2021 that washing and drying knit polyester released 4 to 5 times as much as woven.

Rock vs. hard place.

How Hiro's soundtrack for the arcade game AFTER BURNER could have sounded on the 3 1/2-voice Digital Complex Sound Generator in the Sega Master System, if ROM size weren't as tight as it was back in 1987.

("Before Burner" is a blank CD.)

ANIMAL CRACKERS (1930) just entered the public domain and it's already on Tubi (and elsewhere).

I remember its 1979 TV premiere on CBS, after decades of unavailability due to rights issues.

I hope a new generation discovers the Marx Bros. now, just like I did then. #FilmSky #PublicDomain

I am an ex-user.

From 2014 through 2022, I was a Twitter user. Over three years under Elon Musk, I tapered down my use of the platform. Grok's deepfake of a 14-year-old with her clothes off was the last straw. I do not see a point in continuing to interact there.

Mr. Musk, you're fired.

In December, I set out to write an NES emulator from scratch, working on it an hour a day every day, recording every minute. I've built the CPU, PPU, and a handful of mappers. I added MMC3 without IRQ yesterday, and the end of the session's time lapse shows the first area of Full Quiet.
