I watched COYOTE VS ACME and realized that most of the toon voices, including Bugs, Daffy, Tweety, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Road Runner, and Foghorn Leghorn were Eric Bauza. That man basically carried the whole show.

Bluesky has four kinds of users

Got an ad inviting me to "See Bill Bailey live in London!" I will never get tired of intentionally misreading "live" (not pre-recorded) as "live" (reside)

Disney's The Black Hole Between My Legs

Bluesky has four kinds of users.

a UK food delivery service experimented with AI-generated images for restaurant menu items that lacked pictures. they stopped when customers reported seeing some unusual new dishes. a tiger-prawn dish became a bowl containing actual tiger cubs. friends, i think the tech may not be ready.

Godzilla now only eats cities that have added protein.

"A distinctively British approach to artificial intelligence"

See, I do sometimes draw things. Nesting partner needed some visual aids for a sermon...

Huh, since they're packaged together in the remaster, I assumed Assassin's Creed 3 and Liberation were the same engine (like 4 and Freedom Cry). But 3 has that massive screen space reflection halo, and Liberation's reflections go all the way to the edge

Ever fucking green

calling monsters “creatures of the night” sounds like going outside after 6 pm is evil. i’m not a dracula because i'm enjoying a lovely dinner. i’m a dracula because they did experiments on me

So you look across time, and it feels like a rise and fall. It's 30 years. A lifetime. But at the same time, you look at - say - what Larian has achieved with Baldur's Gate 3, and you can't help be aware how badly Electronic Arts fucked up with the stewardship of Bioware.

The nice part about Feedly being inexplicably unable to read the DumbingofAge RSS feed is that I get to read like a month's worth at once @damnyouwillis.bsky.social

The little "confession" scenes in Assassin's Creed - I always read them as, having sufficiently synchronised with your ancestor, you've unlocked the memory of what was said in that moment. Baffled that by later games it became a diegetic, metaphysical communion in an abstract mental plane

So APPARENTLY the opposite of "childishness" is NOT "adultery"

i said that if I ever got to my third novel then I would permit myself a really gay one, and I am pleased to announce that I have packed a truly immersion-shattering number of homosexual warriors and wizards into this book KNIGHT DEVIANT releases in summer 2027 🫏🌼

Newspapers! I don't mind ads. In fact I welcome them. Please, offset your operational costs by exposing my eyeballs to products and services! However. If your only options are "pay up" or "accept tracking cookies" Know that I will be opening you in an Incognito window

Diminish an anime: Wedgie Note

Finally we're fighting back! This ad goes so fucking hard youtu.be/Gt_IZoM9KuQ?...

First shot

one memorable nightmare I had was I found a machine that would tell you the day you died. mine was like a decade in the future. I looked up my wife's. To my surprise, it was the same date. I looked up my kids': same date. My neighbors: also the same date. Then I looked up Xi Jinping: same date.

My only note is that John Stewart canonically listens to Streisand (but you know everybody listens to more than one thing so it's okay)

Good trope: Hero calling the villain by their first name like they're friends (they are not friends)

(Scream 7, offended, gets up, trips onto the coffee table, stumbles to the doorway…turns and screams in outrage SCREAM 7: YEAH? SCREAM 7: GHOSTFACE WAS ALMOST THE BARISTA AT THE STARBUCKS. SCREAM 7: I HATE MY AUDIENCE SO MUCH. (Breaks down, Daphne puts a blanket over his shoulders).

It took me several moments before I noticed the eyes

This was good

This is simply viral marketing for the new Narnia movie

Enjoy yourself; it's later than you think
