Awww, NBC didn't call that team in the Friday night Orchard Park High School B roll the Fighting Quakers, which is what I knew them as.

Yesterday I learned that some believe knowing Expedition 33 has an Act III is a spoiler. I too think it's irresponsible for a book to have a page count.

Sticked curled all last spring cause my legs couldn't handle getting in the hack. Futures League started tonight, spent it all getting down to the ice. Fell on my knee about 15 times total. Sore all over, can only sweep about 10% of what I was doing in May

Can't wait for next week. #curling #pcc

this is gaslighting, plain and simple. No, it's not the worker producing workslop, it's the fucking AI!

Daily bunny no.3086 unearths a tome

A bunny takes a very scary-looking book from a bookshelf, in an old mysterious reading room. The book is red, and has a glowing eye on it as well as strange patterns. The entire book is faintly glowing as well. An apparition and a face in a painting watch the bunny apprehensively.

Back in the Internet olden days, on September 19th we’d celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day. And we here at LoadingReadyRun made an educational film to help folks out. Enjoy our 19 year old video, How to Talk Like a Pirate 🏴‍☠️🙂

It's spooky movie season, and I am reminded of one of the greatest scenes in cinema from the movie Session 9:

It makes no more sense in context than without. And yes, that's who you think it is.

I hypothesis that I’ve had for the last five or six years, and that I really need to actually put pen on paper but never get the time to do, is that Web 2.0 is dead and we’re going back to Web 1.0 - the death of Google is no small part of this. Everything is locked in a private chat server somewhere

rev. howard arson @theophite.bsky.social · Sep 13

this is more or less a conspiracy theory. it is parasite load and the fact that there are not websites anymore. there just more or less not any websites, and those that exist, exist solely to trick google into serving them to you.

Justin Mikulka @justinmikulka.bsky.social · Sep 12

I worked on search engine optimization back in the days when there were 10-20 search engines and then Google just wiped them all out by being so much better.

Is there some financial advantage to them for making search useless at this point?

Pushing Daisies feels like it's on the enough people know about it, but it never feels that way.

Jericho was the better 24. Needed 5+ seasons and CSI-like spinoffs.

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

This is one of those albums that, for me, I have to listen to in one go, from start to finish, no shuffle, no skips. The balance between manic energy and somber ballads makes this a personal road trip album.
