33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.
The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.

Just discovered the 1960s version of "smartphone face" where in this ep of the Twilight Zone, the guy from the past who is shocked to see an automobile has a face that has for sure driven an automobile.

During the original Harry Potter boom, some librarians and academics expressed concern about kids wanting to read ONLY that. They were shouted down. "AT LEAST THEY ARE READING, THEY WILL GET A TASTE AND LOVE ALL READING SOON" Three decades on, I think we owe the librarians and academics an apology

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.

If the actor with British accent is evil then you’re watching Sci fi. If the actor with a British accent is good then it’s Fantasy. If the actor with a British accent knocks something over then it’s a Rom com.

The Earth does not owe its current life-friendliness to a continuous development, but probably to a chance event -- the late impact of a foreign, water-rich body.
sciencedaily.com
Earth was born dry until a cosmic collision made it a blue planet
Scientists have shown that Earth’s basic chemistry solidified within just three million years of the Solar System’s formation. Initially, the planet was barren and inhospitable, missing water and carbon compounds. A colossal collision with Theia likely changed everything, bringing the essential ingredients for life. The study highlights that habitability may hinge on rare chance events.
