Uncle Jesse from Full House John Stamos is 63. Denver Pyle who played Uncle Jesse on the Dukes of Hazzard was 64 when the Dukes of Hazzard *ended*

Finding a new author can be like this too. You want to read everything they've ever written.

There are few things better than discovering a new artist you love

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

An absolutely underwritten character. There's literally no story arcs and like two stand-alone episodes where she plays any significant role

And this is what we got in S1 and S2 and then they got bored with that I guess and Anson Mount had a baby and they wrote him out of most episodes and then they forgot what to do with him

This is 100% going to happen

UPMC caves to the Trump Administration and bans gender affirming care for ten years while outright lying and saying GAC is illegal (it's not). It would be a shame if their mailbox was flooded with angry emails...

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

The Beatles banned segregated audiences, contract shows

The Beatles refused to play to segregated audiences in the US, a contract for one of the group's concerts shows.

at this point all the stuff that walter isaacson "missed" in his biography of musk should be disqualifying for him as a serious source of info

And this, a documentary film about Musk. I'm glad to see that the likes of Musk and Altman are being exposed in popular media. They haven't taken control of everything, yet. youtu.be/vbHD98a-kjs?...

60 years ago today, Star Trek asked us to imagine humanity becoming something better. Not perfect. Better. More curious. More compassionate. More willing to seek understanding instead of fear difference. Six decades later, I'm still happily along for the ride. 🖖 #StarTrekDay

They used four of my books as training data. That's $12,000 in the settlement. I'm getting $3660. My publishers are getting $8340. Roughly 70%

Pearson Education (aka New Riders) is taking 88% and 90% of my Anthropic settlement money for Designing for Interaction. O'Reilly is taking 50% for Microinteractions and Designing Gestural Interfaces. So for four books, instead of $12,000, I will get $3660.

I suspect this is all Facebook (Boomers/GenX), Instagram (GenX/Millennials) and TikTok (Millennials/Gen Alpha) or maybe the braggadocio of the manosphere over on Xitter

Yeah, they must have shot them back to back. S4 in post-production now probably

In the teaser for S4 they said Summer 2027
