..... so why are chiptunes sounds from the 80's still used to represent 'the future' on the soundtrack of shows about cutting edge technology?
It seems that theres nothing that represents the modern age like the blips and warbles of a home computer from 1982.

41 years ago today, the Ghostbusters fictitiously took the front page of the October 8, 1984 edition of USA Today with the headline “Ghost Fever Grips New York,” as seen in the classic comedy. 👻

It's flu season!
Which means that it's time for Buster to nag you all about the importance of toilet hygiene, and then some. 🚽
...Yes, really.

(This might get a little gross; just a warning.)

This is one of my favorite takes. I’m sure people would love a 30-day delay on having their images posted so they can be reviewed by hand and also it’s Good Actually to make humans look at some of the most heinous images in existence all day

The Bluesky Head of Trust & Safety admitting that all posted images are processed through an Al autolabeller that presumably employees have no access to or control over? (And probably steals every image to be used in an Al "art" generator, who knows?)
Seriously, this is outrageously irresponsible.

Trivia on 'trivia'

In ancient Rome, a trivium was an intersection of three roads (tri, "three" + vium, road).

According to the Romans, when people met at a trivium, they would discuss trivialis ("inconsequential things") - which eventually helped give trivia its modern meaning.

The Fab Four’s Saturday morning cartoon, titled (as one would expect) “The Beatles,” premiered 60 years ago, on September 25, 1965. (Paul Frees and Lance Percival provided all four Beatles’ voices.) The program was the first weekly series to use animated versions of actual people.
