The most important post on Bluesky today
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Also, if you're in or near London, you can rent this hall to recreate either or both scenes!

Finished #Dispatch last night, and the entire season was a blast! Wish I'd picked it up at release because I didn’t have the self-control to limit myself to 2 episodes a week. Binging it over 2 nights just makes me want more! Anywho, pick it up because it's totally worth the ticket to ride!

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952

Who's on the cover of this 1992 Electronics Boutique game catalog scanned by VGHF? Why, it's EB mascot Elbo the dog. Hi, Elbo! https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/3e598ac1-b4bc-4f66-a8ba-6463d78782c1

The interest in robots feels a little like Silicon Valley looking for a related grift after AI crashes but I’m sorry that’s not particularly new and is a physical thing you need to engineer and China is just better at that.

Bob’s Corn & Pumpkin Farm 2025 edition
Made the yearly trek out to Snohomish to visit Bob’s Corn & Pumpkin farm last week. Always a fun time doing the corn maze at dusk. Get a little daylight to start, then it turns spooky as the corn rises up overhead.

This is the first autumn in 5 years without new episodes of #StarTrekLowerDecks.😢 Man, I really miss the show!!! It always made me laugh (I need that now!) and it had the deepest and most outrageous callbacks. Plus: it showed that it IS totally okay to talk about chairs on starships - I feel heard!
