Amazon Prime Day is a day to celebrate how many media outlets rely on income from Amazon affiliate links to simply stay alive.

The degree to which this business genius does not understand literally anything about business never fails to shock me

"Also, just saying, I personally don’t know a single person who eats tar who also has autism.” McAfee responded, “That’s fascinating, dude,” while Rodgers spooned a viscous black substance from a five-gallon bucket labeled “ROOFING GRADE” onto a cracker.

I strongly believe documentaries should present archival news reports, newsreels, and any other found footage in their original aspect ratios. Stop cropping!

can't a guy walk down the street anymore without being harassed by artificial intelligence

Look at this thing just begging to be razed. Hopefully they put a rugby team or something in this alleged hellhole.

Get ‘em all in there. Musk, Bannon, Portnoy, Clavicular, Goldfinger, Thanos, Grand Mof Tarkin, Jafar from Aladdin, Andrew Tate’s brother, the bat that started Covid. They can all run Paramount. www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

So the problem with slasher flicks is that if you’re going to have a lot of the action happen in a house, you need a big enough house. Which indicates a certain amount of wealth. Which tends to erode sympathy for victims.

You still need to convince the people with the money to greenlight projects. Teams will assume that they'll have an easier time securing their future if they don't take chances.

This is a tip I learned a long time ago. My tomatoes are much improved since I stopped berating them. Sorry for failing to share until now.

Another great Miyamoto interview. This period Miyamoto was so honest and clearly thinking deeply in a way that really anticipated a lot of what was to follow ❤️ shmuplations.com/miyamotoxtaj...

One of the finer lessons from Frog and Toad.

all around the world, over the course of many years, a bunch of white street and parking lights slowly turned blue/purple, when a special yellow phosphor coating that turned blue light into white gradually delaminated. nobody knew this defect would happen, it just took time. i think that's beautiful

I care less about sports with each passing year. That said, I’ll always be up for a “check out this shitty owner” story. Lengthy, brutal recounting.

Do I watch a video about the “mind of BTK” or a video where a dude plays piano for one elephant?

A group trans men in Kansas are using women’s bathrooms in public facilities like an Emporia library and a Garden City swimming pool — as is required under a GOP-passed law — to highlight what they say are flaws in the "bathroom bill." Sometimes, police have been called.

“As part of His conversion, Christ said He has taken a new name, Isa Ibn Maryam al-Salaam Christ Shabazz.”

Uh, what? I would say this analogy is strained, but it’s not even explained in the piece. Also, “as Kansas tourists”?

Pretty crazy stuff if you haven't seen it - a game store owner had a box of Super Mario/Duck Hunt carts that turned out to be - brand new - manufactured in 1993 (!) - an extremely late variant unknown to collectors nintendowire.com/news/2026/07...

"But thankfully I spotted a few families without beach umbrellas and was able to make it just long enough. Must have been some bad parking lot hot dog I ate.”
