Decopunk 1927

Cambridge is part of Boston the same way Randwick is part of Sydney, they are just separate municipalities with no overarching government like Greater London or LA County

#songoftheday 300 Oct 27 I've Never Met a Nice South African Spitting Image On this day in 2022, Elon Musk took control of Twitter. I'm lucky I never made an account on that awful website, because he made it very easy to not want to use it anymore. youtu.be/Yif8SrUw94s

#songoftheday 299 Oct 26 Like a Drum Guy Sebastian On this day in 1981, Guy Sebastian was born. Despite the guy being Australian, the music video for this song was filmed in Middletown NY. youtu.be/-N6O0xI3A2o

Fun fact: Norwood is short for Norwegian Wood

Tom & Jerry is absolute peak, and it will remain universally funny to everybody as long as humanity exists. If they could figure out a durable enough media for ten thousand years, the wordless storytelling of a Tom & Jerry cartoon would be ideal for warning future people not to dig up nuclear waste.

The people making The Legend of Zelda (film) probably are too much cowards to set lyrics to classic Zelda tunes and make it a musical, so that means The Movie of Zelda: My Boston Transit Adventure is automatically better.

Previously I have posted about a Nintendo of Europe downloadable premium animated wallpaper that featured a bizarre Toad eating the wallpaper. The files have finally been datamined, allowing the Wallpaper-Eating Toad to be observed in never-before-seen maximum quality.

#songoftheday 298 Oct 25 At The Airport Terminal Bill Wurtz Today, Western Sydney International Airport is officially open! I hope I won't ever have to get on a flight there, because it takes two and a half hours to get to it. Mascot will always be the main airport of Sydney. youtu.be/q-qqrGtlHkg

I made a few drawings. I hope whoever I'm sending them to likes them.

What happens when a train overshoots a platform? Philly: back up before anyone notices Boston: call control to stop all trains on the entire line in both directions, and back up Washington: pretend station doesn't exist, go to next one Australia: open the doors anyways Japan: driver resigns in shame

Fun fact: T4T stands for T4 Terminal, when it ends at Central (i) instead of Bondi Junction, and T4C stands for T4 City Circle, if it goes round Circular Quay instead. Both of these situations are uncommon and can only happen if there is trackwork or an unscheduled disruption in the Eastern Suburbs.

My girlfriend wanted me to shave my beard, resulting in the first update to my appearance since I decided on a whim to grow my moustache two years ago, and the first time without the beard in over six years. My chin feels cold now. How do I look with just the muttonchops and moustache like a cowboy?

#songoftheday 297 Oct 24 Pirate Frigate Hip Tanaka arr.Kenji Yamamoto On this day in 2005, Metroid Prime Pinball was released in North America for DS. It was a very good pinball game. Imagine if they had made a whole Metroid Prime Pinball trilogy. Imagine pinball DLC for MPR. youtu.be/wqrS43ZfdY4

Fun fact: Nintendo Switch is Nintendo's app to turn on and off the lights in your room, it goes with the Nintendo Alarmo you know. The Switch 2 can control two sets of lights independently.

I can't believe SiIva hasn't made a New Super Mario Bros version of Tainted Love. It would be perfect, the way it goes "bah bah" with every line.

#songoftheday 294 Oct 21 For Whom The Bell Tolls Metallica On this day in 1940, Hemingway's book For Whom The Bell Tolls was first published youtu.be/B_HSa1dEL9s

I am real sad about this! I noticed today that my Metroid shirt has gotten a very small hole in it. This was one of my nicer shirts because it is screen printed, so it wouldn't ever fade in the wash the way my other shirts do.

#songoftheday 293 Oct 20 One Piece at a Time Johnny Cash On this day in 2008, or thereabouts, Ken Imhoff finished building a handmade replica Lamborghini in his basement after 17 years, and he had to hire an excavator to get it out. youtu.be/uErKI0zWgjg

OMG I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET GOOGLE EARTH PRO WORKING AGAIN!!!!!!!!! It seemed the problem began when I increased my screen resolution to the maximum, so that I could take better screenshots. A few days ago, I changed back to the default resolution, and now I opened GEP and it didn't crash!

#songoftheday 292 Oct 19 Open Arms SZA and Travis Scott On this day in 2003, my girlfriend was born. Song of the Day is one of her favourite things that I do, so she picked the song today. youtu.be/JLd09jmEAYA

We are still having the Zelda timeline debate over whether it is possible for Link to own more than one boat, so I made this helpful chart

These words were said in 1877 and they have always been true.

If you get 100% completion in a game, then the final boss should escape and come to you.

#songoftheday 289 Oct 16 Empress Wu Zetian Li Na On this day in 690, Wu Zetian became Empress of China, one of the historical girlbosses. Xiran Jay Zhao's book Iron Widow is inspired by her story. youtu.be/Outd51bJO7g

What if BotW had timers in the blight fights? If Link can't beat the Blight Ganons fast enough, then Vah Ruta will overfill the reservoir to flood Hyrule, Vah Naboris will walk on top of Gerudo Town, Vah Rudania will erupt Death Mountain, and Vah Medoh will fly across the map to 9/11 Hateno Village.

#songoftheday 288 Oct 15 Yesterday Once More The Carpenters On this day in 1946, Richard Carpenter was born youtu.be/wawbhXQX2TQ

But was Princess Diana really killed when the Challenger space shuttle crashed into the World Trade Center?

The word "gullible" is written on the sun

#songoftheday 283 Oct 10 All You Fascists Bound to Lose Woody Guthrie arr.Resistance Revival Chorus On this day in 1937, a brick was thrown at Oswald Mosley, and he never went back to Liverpool again. This is a reminder that throwing bricks at fascists is always a good thing. youtu.be/Jp9PQiJnXCI

Fun fact: paramedics and paramilitary are called that because they arrive with parachutes

What would be really cool is an educational Zelda game where the dungeons teach you about real world concepts, like a light temple about optics and refraction, and an electric temple about ohm's law

#songoftheday 282 Oct 9 Le Moribond Jacques Brel arr.Neal Acito On this day in 1978, Jacques Brel died. youtu.be/3uzZ88-I3kY

#songoftheday 281 Oct 8 I Kissed a Girl Katy Perry It is International Lesbian Day. Did you know that lesbians are one of the best kinds of women? youtu.be/tAp9BKosZXs

The Metrodreamin scoring system is very weird about long ferries. Before adding the Seastreak boat to my NYC map, the score was 1193. After adding it, it was 1189. Changing it to an airliner brought it up to 1201 despite worse metrics. Why is it like this? I would suggest adding a new Catamaran mode

#songoftheday 280 Oct 7 Boom Boom Tel Aviv Monsieur Jack On this day in 2023, the Israeli government invaded Gaza to commit genocide, and nobody did anything about it until it was too late. Other countries all know it's a genocide, but keep giving Netanyahu money and weapons. youtu.be/9hJKALhYbmA

Why is Youtube's "Don't Recommend Channel" button only visible in the feed of recommended videos, but it is not anywhere to be found on the channel homepage or video page? That's bad design. If I want to block a channel, the only way to do that is wait for it to appear in your recommended feed again
