Batman: the Brave and the Bold
Ambush Bug (henry winkler) tries to stop Batmite (Paul Reubens) from getting the show cancelled.
Tactics include gratuitous toy tie-ins and replacing Aquaman (John Dimaggio) with Aquaman (Ted McGinley).
And somehow sticks a heartfelt landing with sincerity. 🧑🍳💋👌🏻

Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

I have had to grudgingly accept that there are legitimate use cases* for generative AI in my field. Even so, when I hear:
"Seniors + AI = Juniors"
The Automation Paradox was bad enough when humans wrote the code, thanks.
"I want to use this for docs!"
Have fun speedrunning the trust thermocline!

In Japan a group of us decided to drunkenly race to the dorms in a foot of snow.
I landed in a hidden pothole and rolled my ankle so hard it chipped off some bone fragments that are floating in there to this day.
My right ankle is about double the size of my left as a result.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

I'm rereading The Maxx for the first time in ages, and it's really hammering home how much of my aesthetic sensibility is informed by Sam Keith.
I remain fascinated by Kieth's consistent explorations of feminist themes, and completely unsure whether he's being responsible with them.

Stewart's been on a streak of pretty bad takes for years, but this one is particularly disappointing.
The man spent decades shaming congresspeople into giving 9/11 first responders health care, and his first non-DS segment was about army burn pits getting people sick.
He should know better.

Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

My girlfriend and I were making out while waiting for an elevator.
When the doors opened, @wilwheaton.net and his wife popped out, yelled "Busted!", and bolted in the other direction.
