I will never get tired of the amazing fonts used in 1950s monster movies.

The title card for 1954's "The Snow Creature". It's a shot of high altitude snowpack with some mountains (probably the Rockies or Sierra Nevada even though the film is set in Nepal) with the words superimposed. The font loos like it was created by one of those wide square paintbrushes. It has nothing to do with the film, as far as I know, this is a Yeti picture. But it sure looks cool.

I love ImageJ so much. It was made in 1997 and has been updated a couple of times every year since. Not one of those updates has touched the UI at all. It's glorious.

The menu and tool bar for ImageJ. It's a desktop app that still has the exact feel of a Windows 95 application, with icons and button shapes and whatnot that are 30 years old now.

I can understand getting constant youtube ads for my (Republican) congressman, he's the incumbent and it's a fairly purple district most years. But I'm also getting a ton of them for the R for governor, who is going to lose to Amy K by about 30 points. Why even bother wasting money on her?!?

Why do we let ICE guys have guns anyway? They're not policemen who might have to arrest a bank robber or whatever. They just go around hassling roofers and papaya ladies, surely they could do that without being armed.

This opens with George Kennedy being attacked by a Bigfoot, and the description makes it sound like it was actually an alien disguised as a Bigfoot, so needless to say, this might be the greatest film ever made. www.themoviedb.org/movie/29315-...

the best thing about being in my 40s by far has been the freedom to refer to anonymous guys in their late teens/early 20s as “kid” like Han Solo calls Luke in Star Wars. been waiting my whole life for this. worth every second. indescribable feeling of power.

I can't wait until I'm President someday and I can make Hollywood film in Technicolor again. Just look at this!

The title card to 1940's "Dr. Cyclops", made by Paramount and filmed in Technicolor. The background is medium green fading towards blackish green at the bottom, and the letters are all in different (amazing) shades of green too. Also, every line in is in a different font for some reason lost to history, but it looks great.

This man leads the team in wins, ERA, and WHIP. 🤦 Also, we've lost 7 in a row and are 5-20 over the last 25 games. I would not be surprised if we lost out and finished 55-107. Just a brutal end to the year.

The MLB player page for Tomoyuki Sugano, starting pitcher tonight for my much-beloved Colorado Rockies. He's 12-9 with an ERA of 5.30 and a WHIP of 1.34. Just hilariously bad to lead a team.

When I visited the University of Arizona one time, I got a little turned around and couldn't find the building that the biology (EEB, ecol and evo bio) department was in. I saw two guys coming out of a building wearing khaki shirts and khaki cargo shorts and knew that was the place. It was!

The dichotomy of being a Wyoming fan is that you can be deeply insulted by the fact that the PAC-10 invited CSU to join but not us and also deeply embarrassed by losing to an FCS school. 😢

With 7:59 left in the 3rd quarter, my much-beloved University of Wyoming Cowboys are down 13-7 to the University of Northern Colorado Bears.

5.5 hours into the smoke, time to turn the heat up to 250. I'm doing a Korean BBQ version, and I think the gochujang must be responsible for that beautiful red color.

I don't know if this is from tariffs or what, but my local normal-ass grocery store is charging two dollars for a single reeses pumpkin!

This is at the Crossroads Hyvee in Rochester, MN. It's two boxes of Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins. 1.2 ounces each, $1.99 a pop. It's bananas.

I just realized that I gave this film the exact same rating as the 2002 Best Picture winner.

My last four watched on letterboxd. Chicago and Nazis At The Center Of The Earth both have 3.5 stars. The Beautiful, the Bloody, and the Bare has 1.5, as does the Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone film Rhinestone.

If humans detect pheromones, we do it in a way that is different than what other mammals use. Most mammals have a vomeronasal organ above their soft pallet, and that's what is full of pheromone receptors. We don't have one of those!

Rhinestone features Dolly and Stallone and opens with a character arriving at a club in a 1980 Excalibur Phaeton, one of the worst cars ever made. The film can only go up from here! ...okay, very next scene has Sly being vaguely racist. Hopefully up comes soon. www.themoviedb.org/movie/16551-...

I can't say if this was Christopher Plummer's worst-ever film, but I do imagine it's probably the only one where he has a line about "viral enzymes". (He was in an enormous number of movies, this probably isn't his worst. Bottom half, though, for sure.) www.themoviedb.org/movie/68117-...

Moderna's stock is through the roof today thanks to some good clinical trials news, meaning it's nearly back to where it was when I bought $13 of it in 2021, 😢

A screenshot from Robinhood. Moderna's stock price right now is $138.35. The return today is 140%, but I bought at $153.75, so my overall return is still -1.35%, lol.

It's the most wonderful time of the year (first day of hot sauce processing)

You're goddamn right that I voted for the perennial joke candidate instead of Amy K. in the governor primary. She'll win anyway, but Ole Savior will appreciate my vote a lot more.

The democratic side of the MN primary ballot for governor. The little oval next to, and this is exactly how the names appear, Ole "Viking" Savior and Ashley "Skol" Johnson, is filled in. Amy Klobuchar's line is a couple or rows above Ole.

We should RETVRN to the days where a man could go to a club wearing a tie with vertical stripes. I mean, just look at this thing. (from the 1946 Rita Hayworth movie "Gilda")

Glenn Ford in a scene about five minutes into the movie. He's looking in a mirror and wearing a suit (....it was 1946, everybody in the film is wearing a suit). The movie is in black & white, so it's hard to tell what colors the tie is, but I kind of think it might be something like navy blue and pale yellow, maybe. It's striped vertically, so the stripes run from his neck down towards his torso instead of diagonally like we'd see today. It's quite the thing.

My dad once killed a rooster in the kitchenette of his dorm room floor so he could use the neck feathers to tie flies (fly fishing flies, I mean). He got a talking to but it was UWyo in the early 1970s so nobody cared all that much.

Okay but if we didn't have those sorts of detectives, we'd miss out on amazing things like this. (source: www.amazon.com/Woman-Birthm... )

from the linked book, text reads:

"When he was about halfway back to the police station, he found himself with something else to think about. It had started raining again, and it was clear that if he didn't do something about replacing that damned windshield wiper as soon as possible, something nasty was likely to happen.

But then again, he knew that the moment he did something about replacing a broken part, something else would break.

His car was like that, there's all there was to it.

A bit reminiscent of life itself."
