Bothers me that Stern settled into making a lot of their pinball games look very much the same. You line up X-Men, King Kong, John Wick, Godzilla, Foo Fighters, Venom, Walking Dead Rem, D&D next to each other and boy they blend together in a boring way.

Today is one of those days where I’m struck anew by how *bad* the internet has gotten. It’s almost unusable. Clouds, apps, advertising — nothing is where it should be and it’s nigh impossible sometimes to do basic tasks online.

The Connections puzzle veered a bit bogus today. Just my opinion, folks.

CANNONBALL ADDERLEY: Oh, six more of me, motherfucker.

O Holy Night is an unrealistically great song. Track is something like 170 years old and still fucking goes. Rooted in Jesuit theology and abolitionist/revolutionary thought and ascends into just Christmas rambling with notes only the top 1% of vocalists can reach.

1995 is by far the worst year in WWF history, Vince taking this monster badass heel and trying to make him Hulk Hogan II while also offering up easily the worst stable of opponents any world champion has ever had to face (other than Bret and Shawn ofc) bsky.app/profile/cami...
We should’ve known Vince was a terrible one trick pony when he couldn’t get THIS guy over as a 4 year reigning champion

this is my personal favorite new description of how they’re trying to force their new invention on me btw
No one is throwing nerd gummies in my shopping cart even though I repeatedly said I don’t want them! No one is covering up the food I am trying to eat with nerd gummies in an attempt to trick me into eating one! No one is telling me nerd gummies will replace my decades of experience!

Chris Pratt sure didn’t do a good job voicing Mario. My six-year-old is watching and keeps saying, “That’s not what Mario sounds like.”

Mitchum, who felt acting wasn’t very demanding, once stopped an interviewer and said "Look, I have two kinds of acting. One on a horse and one off a horse. That's it."

Speaking of Apollo 13, I to this day adore how they added a radio message sounding sound sample saying "shutting down all systems" when the coin door is opened and the playfield high power is cut.

Got an email about “AI Week” at my kids elementary school with a bunch of “tools” for us to show him at home every day. And suddenly, I’m pulled back into the culture wars against GOVERNMENT schools.

1977 Gottlieb Canada Dry electromechanical pinball machine
A game that they made 2,885 of doesn’t sound rare, but the majority of the machines built were shipped to France as part of a promotion for Canada Dry soft drinks.
