55 Years Ago This Week: the infamous “exploding whale” happened. But how did it suddenly go viral online in 1990? That story in my blog (with video) from 5 years ago.
The Exploding Whale, 50 Years Later – This is True
The First-Ever Viral Video (naturally of the “weird news” variety!) was shot a half century ago today. Its story + higher resolution video.

These CDs contain the high-resolution artwork that GamePro was sent for their magazine. These are the highest quality source images you can find for games like Banjo-Kazooie and Mega Man Legends (both on CD 120) archive.gamehistory.org/folder/e73a8...

What the hell are we doing?
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The National Anthem of the U.S. was set to the tune of an entirely different but popular-at-the-time song ("To Anacreon In Heaven"). That makes Weird Al the most quintessentially American singer alive today.

Oh. I thought "the Blip" in the MCU was a reference to the '80s Marvel video game magazine. But apparently that, itself, was a reference to an earlier Marvel monster.
