A few years ago when I was troublingly deep into Elite Dangerous (flight stick, throttle, the lot) I used an EQ to make it sound like Spotify was playing in my ship's cockpit, and had this moment where a song perfectly synced up with a hyperspace jump.

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

This is Miyamoto. Did you have a chance to check out the short video we posted on Nintendo Today! a few hours ago? We announced that the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, which I am producing with Avi Arad-san, will be released in theaters worldwide on March 26, 2027.

Instagram is a funny place. I search for reels on slow cooker recipes and insta asks “are you sure you don’t want some goth rock included in your search?”

Waiting to find out Canada slaps an export tax on that power supply and jack up the cost to keep the lights on.
Literally did a spit take as the CBC political correspondent speculated about cutting the power during the Super Bowl "so that suddenly New York and Michigan can't watch the Chiefs and the refs take on the Eagles."

🚨 hey just a heads-up to everybody. this is not a big deal, but i really feel like the best place for the cheese grater is the second shelf to the left of the sink, above the plates and bowls. some of you keep putting it in the utensil drawer, and it takes up way too much space there. thanks!

My "Roman Empire," as it were, is the amount of methodological rigor that went into the production of Blue's Clues. Khan Academy could never?!?!
![The creators' and producers' goals were to "empower, challenge, and build the self-esteem of preschoolers"[58] while entertaining them. Kessler, Santomero and Johnson were influenced by Sesame Street, the first children's television program to utilize a detailed and comprehensive educational curriculum developed from research.[59] "We wanted to learn from Sesame Street and take it one step further," Santomero said.[60] Like Sesame Street, formative research which the producers called their "secret sauce,"[61] was used during all aspects of the creative and decision-making process during the production of Blue's Clues.[62][63] In addition to a curriculum that emphasized reasoning skills relevant to preschoolers' everyday lives, the producers wanted to include audience participation, called by Variety its "call and response style,"[25] that encouraged mastery of the information presented, positive reinforcement, and prosocial messages.[58] In their first brainstorming sessions in 1994, Santomero, Kessler, and Johnson decided to promote mastery rather than rote learning or memorizing, make sure that their viewers knew the answers to the puzzles with which they were presented, and include elements of surprise and play. By 2001, the show's research team consisted of head researcher Alice Wilder, Alison Sherman, Karen Leavitt, and Koshi Dhingra.[64][note 3] The research team and creators worked collaboratively.[66]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iyuor6sjixqdyc2shed7pfsb/bafkreieim76uj3bwpd3ty7jy4iij5x4e7qvbaiksmxeg6rev4trwkytruy@jpeg)
![Unlike Sesame Street, which tested a third of its episodes,[67] the Blue's Clues research team field tested every episode three times with children aged between two to six in preschool environments such as Head Start programs, public schools, and private day care centers. There were three phases of testing: content evaluation, video evaluations, and content analysis.[68] In their tests of the pilot, conducted throughout the New York City area with over 100 children aged from three to seven,[69] the show was "immediately successful."[2] They found that as the pilot progressed, children's attention was not only captured and sustained, but they became excited and actively participated with what they saw, to the point that they stood up to get closer to the television and spoke back to the host.[70] The producers and researchers also consulted outside advisers, who were chosen based on their expertise and the needs of each script. As Anderson stated, the formative research team served "as a liaison between the feedback provided by the preschoolers and outside advisers and the production team, including writers, talent, producers, directors, element artists, and animators."[68]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iyuor6sjixqdyc2shed7pfsb/bafkreiaspiosr5a65f7j37dgm22y2bcehgfpntf22evzujhsdcmevl6mce@jpeg)
![Jennings Bryant conducted a two-year longitudinal study of the effects of Blue's Clues at the University of Alabama in 2001 to ascertain whether or not the show's curriculum goals were achieved. He compared regular viewers and non-viewers and found that the show's episode repetition strategy improved children's comprehension while holding their attention and increasing their participation, which suggested that watching Blue's Clues increased children's learning and social interactions. At the end of the study, regular viewers outperformed the non-viewers, solving problems more successfully and systematically.[120] Anderson stated, "Given the program's large audience, it appears that the program is not only doing well, but it is also doing good."[113]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iyuor6sjixqdyc2shed7pfsb/bafkreighris3uf4ejlk6zmddhdecsb5zbk7orwf6xiiixofnvmieoury7e@jpeg)
