I skipped Red Zone last year, so the ads...

Peter Cullen, thank you for 64 years of great work. You made the Bay movies tolerable by being in them.

I changed my rating on Obsession to four stars. Filling in my Scorsese gaps to keep up with @blankcheck.bsky.social. By far my lowest score for anything Alien. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

PICK and IBEX are not the same letters... unless you're an Ai?

How to play instructions from a web word game:

Common "PICK" scores +24. Rare IBEX scores +81. Same letters, far more points - hunt the rare ones!

Went to the new giant UNIQLO last night. Disappointed to discover it's not an actual UNIQLO store.

Big UNIQLO sign between two flag poles in front of a cloudless blue sky. The left flagpole is flying the California state flag, the right the United States flag. There is no wind.

"Awards" should have been shifted to the right. It looks like "Awards®" was centered and then the asterisk was added later, but the ® isn't a letter and shouldn't be counted for centering.

What's another dubious "who are you" quiz amongst friends and blueskiers? bambamramfan.github.io/ai-compass/

You are...
The Journalist
patron saint: Sam Kriss
You find the whole thing a little contemptible and a little fascinating. The products are mediocre, the people selling them are worse, and the prose it generates is a crime against the sentence. But you keep poking at it, because the cultural meaning of all this is genuinely strange.
Impact: -1.7 • Valence: -1.8

Reddit is losing its mind over Caitlin Clark not appearing on this poster. I thought it might be fake, because in addition to a number of omissions, it's an unbelievably bad layout, with wildly inconsistent photography. But it's the image on the WBNA store, so... 🤷

I think that green sensor in the middle, which is probably less than a mile from the fire, is probably in need of replacing.

Air Quality Index map of Los Angeles from Tuesday June 23, 11AM PDT. Most numbers are in the yellow "moderate range", a green "23" stands out in the middle, located near the Boyle Heights fire location.

72" tall guys famously wish to be referred to as "5-feet 12-inches."

71" = 5 Ft 11"
72" = 5 Ft 12"
73" = 6 Ft 1"

Seen in a doctor's office. I don't know which is wilder, that someone used AI for this, or that it was created by a staff member.

"Inches to Feed conversion"

A list of numbers like:
55" = 4 Ft 7"
The list goes up by one inch from 55 to 79.

Oddly:
71" = 5 Ft 11"
72" = 5 Ft 12"
73" = 6 Ft 1"

There is a lot that could be improved with Liquid Glass, especially on the Mac. This one is so bad though, one wonders how it shipped. It's pretty clear that some of the menu options here are disabled. The shortcuts for the enabled option get dismissed by the user, because they ALSO LOOK DISABLED.

Part of a menu from a Mac app, showing enabled and disabled functions, and keyboard shortcuts that all look disabled.

Prometheus and Covenant getting some undeserved strays in the penultimate paragraph.

"Alien has been weirdly unsure of itself ever since – a handful of unproduced sequels, dreary Alien vs Predator films, and mind-bogglingly poor Ridley Scott prequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant – as if the studio doesn’t know which universe the franchise belongs in anymore. A Disney Plus series is now set to land in 2023."

We also went over-the-top with our font choices in this one, selecting fonts that were created in the same year for the chapter spreads. Lotta fun to design. Get thee one.

"In Depth: Original Soapboxes" a spread in Stan's Soapbox: The Collection.

"1977", a spread in Stan's Soapbox: The Collection.
