Why is five periods (ENDTRODUCING…..) the Wikipedia standard? Discogs entries waffle between three and five periods.

How do we know what the accurate number of periods is?!

I think we need a weeklong Google pool to help determine what the right answer is.

And the backside of both record sleeves has what appears to be 3 ½ periods — no doubt the work of a sloppy typesetter, combining an ellipses with a period, which strangely have different dimensions created by the font designer.

This has me going down a rabbit hole. My vinyl copy has only … (an ellipses) on the spine, and …. (four periods) on the center label.

Your aside to Buttondown about turning ….. into ….. warms my heart.

(No idea if iOS/Bluesky autocorrected any of that above, but rest assured I typed it the correct way.)

I keep my house at this temperature, resulting in my 8F calling attention to that fact every day. I don’t think I can resort to going down to 66° (too cold), but may be forced to go up to 68° to avoid this going too far. So, my energy bill will not be going down, if it changes at all.

I second French Connection and add in Baby Driver

Horrifying and brilliant all at once. Perfect for a Sunday morning.

Ahahaha damn there’s no edit feature.

Just let it compete in both 2001 and 2002. LOL

I’ve struggled with this. I loved reading the books to my 17F when she was 7+, especially because we’d read the book and then immediately watch the corresponding movie. But I’ve been unable to separate the author from the text enough to be able to enjoy them now. Been looking for a good alternative.
