In honor of Michael B. Jordan’s Oscar win, here’s a meme that has been stuck in my head since like 2020.

Screenshot of Michael Jordan from ‘The Last Dance’ with text overlaid to make it look like he’s saying:

“How is it legal for a guy to be named Michael B. Jordan? That's just my name but with a B. I call 911 everyday about this.”

Post you from a different era. A lot has changed since 2006...but that fadeaway is still timeless.

Something the next owner of the Dallas Mavericks should do: Any time the team plays on February 1st or 2nd, the team should wear the awful silver uniforms as a reminder of when the previous owner and GM tried to destroy the franchise.

This is Agent Cooper. Like the one from Twin Peaks, he craves coffee. He will try to take it from your hand. We have to make sure he cannot reach our coffee at all times because he is constantly trying to drink it. He obviously can’t be allowed to have it, but that doesn’t stop him from trying.

In the excellent first volume of Knapsack Magazine from @luckypocketpress.bsky.social, there’s a QR code to a playlist on Spotify. I’m not a Spotify user, so I did my best to recreate this on Apple Music + made it public in case anyone else is interested. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Handheld gaming hardware design was perfected with the original GameBoy Advance. I have owned most handhelds, nothing has ever felt as good in my hands. There are grips and things that help, but nothing out there is as pick up-and-go as the GBA.

Richard Donner’s Superman made us believe that a man can fly. @jamesgunn.bsky.social’s Superman will make you believe that a man can care about others and make a positive impact on the world—regardless of the obstacles in front of them. Folks, it’s a masterpiece.

I’ve heard a lot of different people attempt to describe the taste of Selena Gomez Oreos, and after trying them, I’d like to clear things up: They taste like Dunkaroos. Like, almost a dead ringer for Dunkaroos.

It got a very solid EP release digitally, but it doesn’t seem like they are going to do a vinyl release for it. That’s too bad, because I’d buy the full album or the EP just to get these mixes on vinyl.

Most interesting: VHS release of the very out-of-print Spanish dub of Dragon Ball based on the Harmony Gold dub (Zero y el Dragon Magico). Got it online, not sure how long I’ve had it. Most unusual format: production master tapes/reels for DBZ VHS releases

Decided I want to deep dive into Revolver by The Beatles and I was immediately reminded why I don’t usually buy Beatles LPs. 1 album. 5 options. Anyone out there able to quickly tell me which one to get??

3 different version of Revolver by The Beatles on vinyl: Special Edition, Remastered, and Special Edition 4LP/7”

2 more options for buying Revolver by The Beatles on vinyl: Special Edition with Totebag and…adjectiveless. Not sure if that is supposed to be the one closest to the OG release.

Idk how to explain it, but something about the way this show looks in the actual cel animation is just *different* Is it as simple as the colors being a bit muted? The dark backgrounds? I’m not sure, but it WORKS.

One of these is going for way above MSRP on the aftermarket, and one is still available and somewhat easy to find. Both dropped in the last two days. Whether you’re a sneakerhead or not, I’m curious—based on design alone, which one would you want to wear?
