Favorite to win the 2026-27 Stanley Cup? NHL coaches and execs make their picks
Coming into the season, there are usually six or seven solid choices to win the Cup. This year? One team is getting most of the attention.

Once upon, I admitted on Facebook that I didn't know who Harry Styles was; 1D had completely eluded me. I was poking fun at myself, but one of my friends helicoptered into my comments and DID play the "I'm too cool to be aware" card. Both fragmentation and contrarianism coexist.

As an Atari Age-reading lad I was ABSOLUTELY convinced that this vaporware would be my first computer.
Atari Age Magazine article:
SNEAK PEEKS (Special Report)

Keyboard will turn Atari VCS into powerful home computer

Fall introduction planned for revolutionary device

Atari has unveiled an extraordinary addition to their Video Computer System— an easy to install keyboard module that transforms the game system instantly into a sophisticated multi-purpose home computer. Current plans call for introduction of this breakthrough product in fall 1983. A complete line of game and computer software titles will also be available, beginning with the introduction of the keyboard and growing rapidly in the following months.

The unit features a full raised 56-key typewriter-style keyboard. It attaches quickly to the VCS unit, snapping directly into the game cartridge slot.

The new unit will serve VCS owners in three basic areas: gameplaying, learning to program, and performing practical home computer functions. Atari is currently working on games designed to take advantage of the greatly expanded memory provided by the keyboard unit. The company plans a number of new titles designed specifically for the unit, including adaptations of several hit arcade games never available in home versions before.

The line of software currently and development for the new keyboard. Unit covers the full range of home computer applications, from education and personal improvement to budgeting and record-keeping.

Lots of people are looking for an inexpensive way to get into computer programming, and the new keyboard is ideal for this purpose. It comes complete with a full 8K bytes of random access memory (RAM)— more than any other low-priced home computer on the market. The popular Microsoft basic programming language is also built into the unit. Combine this capability with exciting new software packages, teaching programming for adults, for children, and even how to program your own arcade-style games, and you have a complete introductory computing system.

The new unit can be expanded easily for more advanced programming and home computer applications. Memory can grow to 32K with connected add-on modules. Program storage will be available with an ordinary, cassette tape recorder, or with an optional data drive. Atari plans a full line of low cost, peripherals, including a printer, and a modem, which will let users communicate computer-to-computer over telephone lines. The modem will also enable users to tap into the popular on-line information services such as CompuServe Information Service and The Source, America’s Information Utility, which provide a variety of news and reference materials, electronic bulletin, boards, and user-to-user communication, computer games, and more.

“No, we stole that term from you Black folk. And now it’s ours, because we use it. We use it to mean that the concerns and perspectives of you Black folk are annoying or wrong or dangerous, as a way of ignoring and dismissing those concerns and perspectives. Like I’m doing now—does that make sense?”

Tangentially related, years ago I posted to FB (I said years ago) poking fun at myself for not knowing who Harry Styles is. (I completely missed 1D.) One of my old friends responded in the comments wearing the same cultural blind spot as a badge of pride. Don't do that.

Saying it for maybe the 50th time: Do not accuse someone of using AI unless you have ABSOLUTELY AIRTIGHT proof, because if not, you're just adding to the paranoia and causing stress for hard-working artists. And yes, going onto social media and going 'Hrrm, I've no proof, but...' is an accusation.

As I am quoted as saying in @elizabethminkel.bsky.social's excellent article, this isn't Watergate. But, as independent media works to create sustainable models for doing the kind of journalism that legacy media is increasingly failing to do, let's call out exploitative dynamics when we see them.

When I write a feature like the one being discussed here, I am drawing on decades of experience in fandom and years of (unpaid or under-compensated) labor spent studying and writing about fan culture professionally. I do this work because I think fan culture merits earnest, thoughtful analysis.

Sit down son Let me fill you in… Where to begin? Let’s start with the end This black and white photo Don’t capture the skin From the flash of a gun To a soldier who’s done Trust me grandson The war was in color From shipyard to sea From factory to sky From rivet to rifle From boot camp to battle cry I wore the mask up high On a daylight run That held my face in its clammy hand Crawled over coconut logs And corpses in the coral sand Where to begin? Let’s start with the end This black and white photo Don’t capture the skin From the shock of a shell To the memory of smell If red is for hell The war was in color I held the canvas bag over the railing The dead released With the ship still sailing Out of our handsand into the swallowing sea I felt the crossfire stitching up soldiers Into a blanket of dead And as the night grows colder In a window back home A blue star is traded for gold Where to begin? Let’s start with the end This black and white photo Don’t capture the skin When metal is churned And bodies are burned Victory earned The war was in color Now I lay in my grave at age 21 Long before you were born Before I bore a son What good did it do? Well hopefully for you A world without war A life full of color Where to begin? Let’s start with the end This black and white photo Never captured my skin Once it was torn From an enemy thorn Straight through the core The war was in color Where to begin? Let’s start with the end This black and white photo Never captured my skin From the flash of a gun To a soldier who’s done Trust me grandson The war was in color Trust me grandson The war was in color Trust me grandson The war was in color
