If I understand the trailer correctly, in this scene the mom is telling young Steve Gutenberg that his father just became in POW in the Vietnam War. So, yeah... 🤷

A teenage boy and his mother are standing in a very modern kitchen with a flat screen television on the wall behind them. In the background Dan Lauria and a young boy sit at a table in in a breakfast book.

I consider myself a very tolerant woman, able to accept and even value cultural practices and behaviors that I am not initially familiar with. There are many ways to be. But damnit, y'all, lavalier mics are supposed to go on your *lapel!* Stop holding them in front of your mouth in videos!

120 MINUTES was an absolute oasis in pre-internet pop culture. So many bands that you could ONLY find there (TV-wise) became ubiquitous online later (and relatively recently). A pioneer. consequence.net/2026/07/dave...

My 2026 has been a divorce-shaped Stygian nightmare of housing insecurity, drifting between Airbnbs, couchsurfing + housesitting. But the goddess just blessed me with my own tiny apartment! I need to move/furnish it for myself + kid almost from scratch: a humble call for help if you can to do so!

Apologies, we for got the alt text! Here it is.

This is unfortunate news for those who still prefer buying games on physical media, and is certainly a hit to consumer rights, the resale market, and game creators whose businesses rely on the physical market. But from the perspective of professional preservationists, this doesn't have as much of an impact as you might expect.

The reality is that the vast majority of video games produced over the last two decades were not made for dedicated home video game consoles, let alone pressed to physical media. And even when they were released on physical media, a day-one digital patch was all but guaranteed, meaning that even though a disc is preserving data in an accessible way, it may not represent the game that people actually played. Museums and archives have been preparing for this future for a while, with the expectation that putting discs on a shelf isn't going to be a long-term solution for preserving new games.

What continues to baffle us is what the industry expects institutions like ours to do about it. If platform owners are deciding to eliminate physical media and older digital storefronts, then we'd also like to see trade groups like the Entertainment Software Association offer meaningful solutions for archives and museums to legally preserve digital-only content and make it accessible for research. Everyone agrees this is a serious problem, but the ESA has repeatedly opposed the efforts of cultural heritage institutions to reform digital copy protection laws to make it easier to do this work. The industry needs to meaningfully come to the table on this issue, because asking museums to download a copy of Grand Theft Auto VI and hope it'll run in 50 years is not a preservation solution.

Looked into this more and I think they might have made them to keep up morale for the cast and crew? The shoot started in late March 1983 and didn't finish until early February 1984, so maybe they made these as gifts at the beginning of 1984 to be like "we're almost there, it will be worth it"

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

"Meanwhile, every version of "Braindead" eludes German audiences, where it remains illegal to present to the public." This is a funny misunderstanding of the situation in Germany because, sure, it's technically illegal to distribute it there, the worst that happens is they confiscate the copies.
