Sky+
2010

A blue beast voiced by John Goodman moved from the city of Monstropolis into human territory. Sound familiar? Well, this one brought his wife and kids. This sitcom-style campaign for Sky+ ran through the last third of 2010 and saw this fuzzy family adjusting to British life.

As part of AI generating me a daily webpage of interesting info, I have it draw me a daily doodle, and they absolutely rule - I think this one is a rabbit that ate a carrot? (The prompt for today's message was the carrot emoji)

The Bandcamp version has 20 extra tracks and is only $9 🙌🐘

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most.

Intrusive thoughts while digging through old junk: There's no way these 1998 newspaper coupons are preserved anywhere - I got a fun twinge of nostalgia flipping through them, but what am I going to do, scan them into a PDF and create an Internet Archive collection of them?

DC's air quality last night was around the worst in the country because of the fireworks... CODE PURPLE or hazardous.

It was still CODE RED this morning will improve today as the smoke disperses.

This was a split-second emotional journey from "Ida? ... *the* Ida?!" to clicking the video and devolving into a blubbering mess 😭 It's perfect.

lol they didn't even use the taxi for the taxi rollout?

Think there's anyone left at Tesla who remembers they're supposed to be making a bronze "Cybercab", a $25K Model 2, the new Roadster, a semi, a $40K Cybertruck, a 4 wheeler, a robot that's not a person in a jumpsuit, and solar roof tiles?

Writing an AI to read my to-do list and suggest the next tasks I should do - Very fun!

Upping the intelligence after the initial testing phase and getting back a prioritized and non-blocking schedule for the day showing how to accomplish every task I've been putting off - Slightly embarrassing!

Incredibly niche recommendation, but this episode of The Great Gildersleeve has the funniest sitcom "hiccups" bit that I've ever heard - this is the hardest I've laughed in years 😆 #comedy #otr archive.org/details/Otrr...

If you're shopping Amazon with a photo of a set of barcodes, definitely do some comparison shopping to get the best price:

(So many of these listings are just model numbers with multi-thousand-dollar prices ?)

These folks spent 366 days in isolation and this is what they get 10 years later: 2 out of 3 of the "professional websites" return broken links and the Gimlet podcast redirects to the Spotify homepage.

Don't make me tap the sign!
