1976's "Network" turns 50 this year. The pitch black satire of television always felt a little over the top, despite its star-studded cast's performances. But then social media came along and validated everything this movie warned us about--and more. We're all mad as hell now.

“Network” at 50: Now We’re All Mad as Hell
Paddy Chayefsky’s take on television captured the Long 1970s—and anticipated the rise of social media.

omg he actually did it
A screenshot from twitter. User @MrBeast writes : "Growing up I thought books were boring, in reality I just didn't read anything that actually interested me. Which is why I teamed up with James Patterson to write The Most Dangerous Games! For many people this might be the first book they actually read (and hopefully enjoy haha) give it a read and tell me what you think :D"

There is a photo of a book cover which reads "MRBEAST THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES. JAMES PATTERSON"A screenshot from Garth Marenghi's Dark Place. The caption reads "I'm one of the few people who've written more books than they've read."

17.30 GARTH MERENGHI'S A DARKPLACE IN THE SUN
Maurice and Sheila have £350,000 to buy a Spanish property. But why did they choose Casa Del Muerto (literally Spanish for 'House of the Dead')? Why pick a house that drips with red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma (i.e. blood)? It was a choice they would live to regret, although not for long as they were swallowed by a Perro del Demonio (Devil Dog - also Spanish).

cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:
connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.
every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 23/07/2026
NES Remix contains a graphic that seems to be an "anti-brother romance failsafe" for Mario and Luigi. Despite that scenario being normally impossible to reach in-game, this graphic makes sure a heart cannot be displayed between Mario and Luigi.
In the Remix 14 and 17 stages in NES Remix, Donkey Kong is played mirrored, with Mario being replaced by Luigi and Pauline being replaced by Mario.
The only stages visited are 25m and 75m. Since Pauline would be saved at 100m, Mario never actually gets saved.
Regardless, the developers changed Pauline's heart icon, used when she is saved, for an original "GOOD JOB!" graphic despite there being no way to actually display it.
How the scene appears in the regular game: Pauline and Mario with a heart
How the scene would appear in NES Remix if it was reachable (without the mirror effect applied): Mario and Luigi with GOOD JOB!
It is unknown why the graphic was added. The developers could have planned to have the full game playable in that mode, or they could have changed the graphic purely as a precaution in case someone managed to get to 100m (e.g. via a glitch) to prevent implications of romantic love between Mario and Luigi.
