I rewatched The Dark Knight Rises last night, and love the nods to the 60s tv show. The simple one: Batman saving the day by flying away with the bomb echoes 60s Batman running down the street holding the bomb. The more obscure and funny one is in the opening action sequence with Bane...
We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

👀 Now find the other facility!
The backstory: Ukrainian drones struck a Yandex supercomputer facility in Vladimir, taking it out. Suddenly, bot activity in US social media fell by 49%, confirming suspicions that this was the site of a massive Russian influence operation targeting US social media—mostly targeting MAGA.

Hey pals, one of my contracts wraps up in September, so I'm looking for new writing, narrative design, and creative direction contracts, short or longer term. Remote, most timezones except Australia. Preferably USA (I'm a night owl!). Flexible on days per week. Reach out! 💜 hannahnicklin.com
I suspect this kind of thing is fairly typical, and speaks to the huge gulf between all the stuff game designers have thought about and explored during the process of making the game, and what is evident to outsiders in the final implementation
kinda shocking they were already aware / thinking like this in 1996, from the earliest days of free cam 3D games (from shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/ )

Always remember that loudly calling something shit and evil and bad still has power, however diminished in this era of shamelessness.
Did not even last a week. The fact that this made it out the door means the privacy department now works in a basement with no computers and a single stapler. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/t...

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.
NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...
The PS2 game collection I salvaged from my parents' place outweighs the few PS1 games I was able to find, unfortunately. (Will eventually give in and turn to ebay to fill it out with things like Time Crisis, Point Blank, Tekken 2+3, Gran Turismo, the rest of the Wipeout games, Die Hard Trilogy...)
In honour of Sony physical games I present these six. Did you play any?
