It's Halloween! So Mike, Rich, and @libbycudmore.bsky.social thought the time was right to sink our podcasting teeth into Siouxsie and the Banshees’ post-punk opus Juju, an album so seasonally appropriate there’s even a song called “Halloween” on it. #MusicSky

Grocery stores should keep the adult chocolates in a side room, behind a tattered bedsheet serving as a curtain, teasing young shoppers with a glimpse of forbidden delicacies that may one day be theirs to savor

Fun fact: as a kid, I genuinely believed that Skor and Symphony bars were made for adults, and I would either get in trouble or be scoffed at if I asked for either of them in the grocery store check out line

Try to understand what I am saying: everything is dependent on everything else, everything is connected, nothing is separate. Therefore everything is going the only way it can go. If people were different everything would be different. They are what they are, so everything is as it is. - #Gurdjieff

I’m glad time has vindicated Sebulba. Everyone was so cruel to him because he “tried to kill a child” during the Boonta Eve Classic even though he was literally Darth Vader

Starbucks Frappula (2015-2016): An iced blended drink with a Dracula theme. Made with mocha sauce on the bottom, white chocolate or vanilla sauce blended with milk and ice, all topped with either raspberry or strawberry puree and whipped cream. It saw releases in back-to-back Halloween seasons.

It is Sunday. I have looked at The Posts and have determined that the world is not ending, but people are still dumb. It is thus most optimal that I go back to sleep.

so DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD and THE UPRISING - colorless, brutal films - bombed in US theaters meanwhile, Phoebe Bridgers & Troye Sivan banged out fun medieval videos & my students are excited about the brand-new local Ren Fest as @tlecaque.bsky.social suggested, this the end of grim dark medievalism?

I resigned from Acme Corporation today. I spent the last three years doing pre-gag research at both Acme Paint and the broader Acme Corporation. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-painting fake tunnel technology and gambling with our lives.

did you hear about the guy who tried to blow up one of those surveillance cameras and ended up setting his junk on fire? it was a real case of Flock and ball-torcher

QTP with a gameplay made you a gamer in your childhood! I was a 2600 fan from the Combat/Asteroids/Pac Man era, but I was aware early on that Activision was playing in a whole different league Enduro was one of the first games that could pull me in for hours

QTP with a gameplay made you a gamer in your childhood! Though Atari's 2600 was on its way out by the time I was born, one of the first video games that I recall from the earliest years of my life was #Barnstorming, which was also a favorite game of my late #Mother (1948-2024).
