I understand the Liberty Biberty hate but I’m always going to enjoy a puppet made by the Jim Henson company and operated and voiced by an actual puppeteer

The movie trailer for Mask (Eric Stoltz, Cher) gave me nightmares even though I never saw it and I know it’s about a tragic situation happening to a very nice person. Still freaked out 10yo me.

@nsperling.bsky.social The Revenant didn’t win Best Picture (though it was nominated), Spotlight won that year.

I wonder if Rotten Tomatoes does anything to bias early 100% scores since it gets their name in headlines. Hard to fault you or Forbes, though I also think it’s reasonable to wonder if that score is a valid signal of anything any more.

Curious how many “has a 100% rotten tomatoes score” articles there have been on Forbes. www.google.com/search?q=sit...

Ok, good start on the loser postseason. This round I need the Dodgers, Yankees, and Brewers to lose. Maybe somewhere in here I’ll find a team to root for.

I know this is your livelihood, but it's amazing how much this matches up with my Lemonade Stand on the Apple ][ experience. Rain. Rain. Rain. Street Construction. Your mother has stopped giving you free sugar.

The Wild Card match-ups are mostly which team I need to see lose. (Cubs, Astros, and somehow both the Red Sox and Yankees will be eliminated, possibly via some sort of Black Sox scandal that bans them from the next season as well)

White Sox vs Astros
Red Sox vs Yankees
Cubs vs Padres

I’ve never really thought of myself as old, until realizing now that I am apparently too old to renew my driver’s license online.

If you are 21 to 49 years of age and otherwise eligible, you may renew online at https://mydmv2.mo.gov/TAP/_/#1.

I bet Apple developers get free max storage, hence a lack of testing that would show “for one cameras.”

Am I the weirdo that has absolutely no interest in following a random murder trial? The number of news alerts I get telling me minute by minute decisions from a judge or jury are bewildering. (I know I can turn notifications off but I do like getting news updates, just not "trending" trials.)

I liked Anil’s explanation of this distinction: “In the creative disciplines, LLMs take away the most soulful human parts of the work and leave the drudgery to you. And in coding, LLMs take away the drudgery and leave the human, soulful parts to you.” www.anildash.com/2026/03/13/c...

I was thinking you only think ten times as fast, so you’re not perceived as moving any faster, just reacting and timing everything perfectly because you have more “time” to consider what to do and when.

Superhero idea: a guy lives his life where a second for everyone else is 10 seconds for him. It appears to everyone else he’s got amazing reflexes, timing, and dexterity but he’s really extremely bored.

@househouse.com I really love the idea of Big Walk, but I'm trying to figure out how to play with my family - we'd ideally go into separate rooms and play on separate devices?

I was surprised my kid didn’t know Crunch bars were Nestle since they’re his go-to treat. And then I looked at the wrapper and they’ve…debranded?
