It’s the most Apple experience ever:
For the first time in 10+ years one of the lit stupid fucking ‘your memory’ videos/slideshows was actually pretty good. Now, do you think I could trivially share this video/slideshow? Nope. Pure 100% adulterated Apple.

Stranger Things s5 is egregiously mid and I’m just watching so it’s all done and I can go back to better TV.
Yes I’m the person who needs to finish a show once seasons have been committed (why I try not to watch new shows until they’ve been finished or not cancelled)

Someday, I will be marooned on an island, with a near-infinite supply of Duracell CR2032 coin cells in blister packs, and a medical device upon which I am critically dependent, which requires such coin cells, but no knife or scissors.

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!
Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!
