From insane resale prices to hours-long waits, the summer of movie ticket "concertification" is upon us. Part of the problem is tech, but it's also our "scarcity mindset" around being first to see the best possible formats. by @milesklee.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/why-is...

Why Is It Absolute Hell to Buy a Movie Ticket Now?

Overwhelmed theater apps and a scarcity mindset around exclusive big-screen formats for blockbusters like “Dune: Part Three” and “The Odyssey” have led to the “concertification” of movies.

We visit the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, NJ. What is the true measure of mall size? Is "Galleria" a classic mall name, or too generic? Why does the Card Vault by Tom Brady use knockoff Marc Jacobs branding? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f... open.spotify.com/episode/5mcw...

We visit the storied NYC discount retailer Century 21 with Claire Hamilton. Can the current store compete with its former incarnation as a cathedral of marked-down designer goods? Is coming of age in a group dressing room worth longing for? Is robot-made coffee a sign of utopia or dystopia?

Good morning, I'm back at @retroxp.bsky.social looking at 30 years of the Playstation, this time through the lens of Namco Museum. Namco's celebration of its past was never better, nor a deeper dive, than in its initial Playstation incarnations, and they should look to that fact in the future.

30 years of the Playstation: Namco Museum

The start of a vital trend, and Namco has arguably never done it better than on the Playstation.

I had a roommate who worked overnights at the ihop and he would come home at like 4 am and get absolutely high as hell and order deranged things from QVC and then do nice stuff like cook for us using his Perfect Pancake dispenser

Full Carts @fullcarts.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

We revisit some classic infomercials and test run the new QVC/Home Shopping app. Did you ever buy a Sobakawa pillow? Has our culture lost something with the absence of late-night paid programming? Is a world without the Bass-o-matic or the Broomshakalaka worth living in?
