You can find most of the cool people there. on mastodon you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the mastodon motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Show up if you want to have a good time.

Maybe this is only news to me, but signal boosting this anyway because it can't be understated what a treasure trove this archive of Game Freak's zines is. These volumes only show up VERY occasionally online and command a lot of money; obtaining a full set to scan would've cost thousands of dollars.

These were added to Internet Archive in their entirety after the Game Freak giga leak, where previously only a handful could be found.

Everything listed today is Japanese music or music related games. Some of my favorite artists. Cocco, Love Psychedelico, Amuro Namie, Puffy, Asian Kung-Fu Generation. And I am bias, but I think the prices are not bad.

had no idea Robert Palmer makes a cameo at the end of the Sgt. Pepper movie (from a Record Mirror interview, Oct 1978)

wavering ever so slightly
because despite only being
interested in being involved in films from a producer's seat,
he accepted a small part in
'Sgt Pepper' with the Bee Gees
and Peter Frampton, despite turning down many other
offers to appear on screen.
"This is going to sound
terrible. I'd been on the road
and I hadn't done any
Christmas shopping and you can't get much In Nassau (his home). I got this invite to fly out to Hollywood, all expenses
paid, to stand with 2 or 300 of the Celebrities and sing a song. It was a great opportunity to do my Christmas shopping. It was a great party. That's all I want to say about It. "I think it's the worst film that's ever been made. I can't find any redeeming values in it."

Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) film composer #BOTD
What?
Yes.
THAT Saint-Saëns.
Famous for his "Carnival of the Animals" and other concert works, he was the first major composer to write an original film score, for the 1908 THE ASSASSINATION OF THE DUKE OF GUISE.

Tapioca/cassava is also a MAJOR ingredient in tons of foods, especially gluten free products.

Lead found in all bubble tea samples tested by Consumer Reports

New safety tests reveal that bubble tea, a popular drink, contains lead. Consumer Reports recommends enjoying it only occasionally due to health risks.
