My brain is forever on shuffle through an ever-increasing amount of pop culture ephemera, and yet somehow this pops up more often than one would think considering the sheer amount of mental fragments on offer...

“Be Strong enough to be gentle.” Peter Cullen tells the story of how his brother inspired the voice he would use to play Optimus Prime. It’s a simple yet poignant quote that sums up why Optimus and Peter are so beloved. Til All Are One. 💔

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. QA Analyst: Obtain the cup. Slowly add water. Result: the game crashes if the cup's fill value exceeds 50%.

Doom 2016 put far too much emphasis on glory kills. Crazy kill animations are cool the first few times, but quickly start to be repetitive and just take up time I'd rather be using to kill stuff, on top of having to keep running into melee to do them instead of blasting stuff.

In the earliest days of Hollywood, passionate actors and writers were regularly exploited and mistreated by their bosses. But that all changed when they recognized one simple truth: They were stronger together. And so are we.

The value proposition of working at an AAA studio was that you were trading independence and agency for stability, and that if the game did well, you would keep your job, and if the game did badly, you might lose it. Obviously it wasn’t that cut and dry, but you get it. Now? You just lose your job.

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

The irony is they are replacing all their non-union humans with agents run by a single organization that can demand changes in wages (aka token costs) overnight without bargaining.

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

Why search for actual webpages that match your search, when Google can spew out concise descriptions with this kind of accuracy?

Google AI Overview that starts out with a badly-written description of the search term before just repeating "and" over and over and over again until the code breaks.

I am enough of an optimist to believe that things will turn around, but enough of a pessimist to constantly worry about the damage that will be done between now and then. It will take generations to come back from this.
