Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Google's search AI has started parenthetically throwing shade at Google's speech-to-text in its responses I mean, both seem to get worse and worse over time. Kind of hoping they duke it out and blow each other up.

I think folks walk counterclockwise because the Earth spins counterclockwise the moon goes around the Earth counterclockwise, the Earth revolves around the Sun counterclockwise... but that's just me

I like the part of the Odyssey at the Phaeacian court where Homer has Odysseus turn to the camera and say: "Now, we've all been having a lot of fun here today, but let's remember who the REAL heroes are---the hardworking bards and harpers in your own neighborhood. Remember to leave a tip, kids."

I'm just the side of a polymath and the thing a lot of folks don't think about is that means we're not particularly good at any single thing. Not enough time. And I'm actually terrible at math to the word itself is a misnomer

When I was maybe 10 I heard the radio broadcast of the Hindenburg disaster (Oh, the humanity!) and was very confused that he referred to it as a terrific crash. So I looked terrific up and sure enough: causing terror. So when I say something is terrific, that may not be a good thing.

So the conceit is that Godzilla, King of the Monsters, maintains the natural balance, with the natural balance being that Godzilla be King of the Monsters. It's a tautology but it's still best best practice to just let him be the king

I just got a spam call so I had my phone screen it and the two bots got themselves in an endless feedback loop saying "I'm sorry I didn't catch that, are you still there?" I realized it 5 minutes later they were still all "so I can I book this for you?" "I'm sorry I didn't understand you" #dystopia
