I love the excitement trying to be drummed up here for "Saturday Night on Sunday" as if 2/3 of the show doesn't take place after midnight (I know, I know, but)
Also sing hey for the ill-fated Mardi Gras special, the biggest debacle the show has ever been involved in

This short (The Big Snooze, 1946) is probably one of the ten best cartoons ever made. Take it from me: a freak of nature.
I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

It’s my yearly visit to University Mall in Burlington VT the weirdest half-abandoned shopping plaza around. What’s beyond this inflatable Santa? Absolutely nothing.

Longer Than You Think, Charlie Brown! Longer Than You Think!
THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT, CHARLIE BROWN.

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

It is fascinating to track Dick Powell's career from The Boy in musicals to the best contemporary Marlowe on screen
Murder, My Sweet (1944) Directed by Edward Dmytryk stars Dick Powell, Claire Trevor and Anne Shirley. The film is based on Raymond Chandler's 1940 novel Farewell, My Lovely.

This is what I tell my students: the worst-case scenario isn't your code not running, it's your code running fine but doing something completely different to what you *think* it's doing.

“Luke learns design” month, (cheat) day #21:
Star Trek 1971!
In 1971 a high school kid wrote a game on punch tape about hunting Klingons. In 1972 he rewrote it in HP BASIC, and it became briefly the most distributed software of all time. The code is still available.
So I ported it! Check it out!
