Okay. This is amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Br7... I have an idea for a Superman comic where Brainiac, instead of consuming all knowledge and destroying worlds, decides it would be more fun to just make up his own facts and watch them spread.

Did you check under your bed and in your closet? They delivered it last week. It might be hungry by now.

I have some thoughts about the next episodes of Infinity Train. Basically, they should exist. Thanks. 😁

Someone was like "You could get that printed at Staples in really good quality" and, like... ugh.

Meanwhile, Steve Wolfhad did a really cool Adventure Time commission that I've tried every way I can to get ahold of him and try to get him to sell me a print of it and no response. 😭😭😭

I don't particularly recall anyone I watch on a regular basis making that claim, just remembered hearing something about Youtube using AI on videos without the uploaders consent.

Wasn't there an issue with YouTube adding AI thumbnails on its own?

I get really annoyed when a name shows up on a report, I ask them, & they immediately deny, so I spend 5 extra minutes showing them their name, what was done, & then they're like "Oh, yeah." Real easy fix, but we have to spend 2x as long on it because we're playing hide & seek about what happened.

The obvious fix is to design Robotaxis like prison tech and make everything see-through.

Then, if a candidate gets approved in, say, half of all states, they automatically get on the ballot in all states. Allows candidates to focus on their strong states without kneecapping them in all the others.

I doubt anyone but OP will ever read this, but, just in case inspire someone down the line - eliminate taxpayer funded primaries as well. Create a set of rules that apply to every candidate to get on a ballot (minimum number of signatures in a state based off a percentage of the population?)

My wife and I stayed at a really sketch hotel in Nashville for a few hours before our 6am flight. I showed her your original, then made a slight tweak. She liked mine better. 🤣

Then we can work on universal health care, LEO reforms, a real right to privacy. Also have a crazy idea for a fourth branch of government that's lead by randomly selected voters who get access to Congress in an advisory role, but that's something that really needs workshops. Glad you asked though!

Codify the Right to Vote as a full-on amendment, rather than the current SCOTUS ruling that individuals have no right to vote in federal elections. Create a lottery system for citizens that they get entered into when they vote, with a chance to win real, tax-free money just for going to the poll.

2 senators per state, smallest state population gets 1 rep, every other state gets 1 rep per state population divided by smallest state. Ranked choice (or similar) voting for all elected Federal positions. Eliminate political parties printed on ballots.

Uncle Bob @theunclebob.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Fix the government before giving them more power. Revamp SCOTUS to have one justice per circuit, selected from judges within that circuit and confirmed by Congress. Rotating terms for them. Expand congress via the Wyoming rule.

I understand & appreciate what you're going for, but we already have politicians trying to twist these same reporting requirements into something that requires healthcare professionals & teachers to rat out transgender children to their parents & such. I don't trust our government to not abuse this.

To clarify, a law preventing sincere threats of violence is a good goal. Threating violence isn't generally a good goal. 🤣

Uncle Bob @theunclebob.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
"Threatening violence" is a good goal, but, what happens with President Trump wants to apply this to antI-ICE protestors where one of them throws an empty plastic bottle or some such? Do we trust these tech companies and governments to only use this for the greater good?

Pretty surreal to be in a print magazine. 12 year old me would be proud. (Issue 66 of Return Magazine, a German retro game magazine)

level of popularity that it would have been shown for years or would have ended up on home video that somehow ended up in my parent's collection. Maybe I was home sick from school one day and it was what was on the TV or something. So weird of a memory to just randomly unlock.

I remembered it. But, the weirdest thing is... how in the heck did I end up watching this movie? It came out in the UK when I was four years old. Apparently, it was shown in syndication in the US, but, I doubt I watched anything that wasn't cartoons at that age. It doesn't seem like it has a...

And the goo was a melted candy bar left by the doll house owner's brother. I did some digging and found Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense - Child's Play. This is definitely the movie, because there's a weird symbol that is a plot point that is show on screen early on and as soon as I saw it...

Yesterday, out of no where, I had a very vague memory from when I was a wee baddie of a movie. I remember it being weird, about a family stuck inside of a house, there was a goo coming in through the chimney and right when they were about to die, it turned out they were dolls in a doll house...

As-released, the game supports 15 players. You just need custom hardware or low batteries and luck to make it happen.

Slightly related, but I called a coworker back by saying "We received a FedEx delivery for your department, can you come get it?" "I can come look at it." I don't need you to look at it. I am perfectly capable of looking at a package. I need you to come back here and get it out of my space. 🤣

I don't think "people shopping at a store that charges less" is a particularly radical idea though. Look at how many people shop at Walmart in spite of the terrible customer service they're known for.
