Connections is one of my all time favorite shows. I missed that there was a 4th series released. Four series in 47 years.

Conservative governments have spent 3 generations, the world over, convincing everyone that deregulation is always a good thing.

I’ve been thinking about putting a nice poster or painting on my ceiling, so when I die at my desk if I happen to slump backward at least a nice poster will be the last thing I see.

Pssh! Lefties always getting special treatment and righties always getting a handout, while us middles always miss out.

What kind of monster doesn’t wear black shorts and a tuxedo tee to a wedding?

Nope. Suchet or GTFO

What do you do when courts start to decide that you actively and willingly give children PTSD to make them psychologically addicted to a your trauma feed? Hire Momfluencers, of course.

I degoogled as a Covid project. Mostly it just made me feel a little bit better… and then GenAI hit. Hopefully I’ll go my whole life without ever having used Gemini. And hopefully, if they ingested any of my pre-pandemic emails, photos, docs, etc to train with, pulling it out of cold storage will at least have cost them extra time and money.

How could anyone limit themselves to 50 posts on apartheid-fan-boi.facist?

I’ve spent 20 something years ostensibly working 9 - 5. But most of those years I’ve also on call for server downtime, and crunch-time is sometimes a thing.

Are they going to remake that 1 mobile billboard that’s been doing laps of the LV Strip for at least 30 years, with the same 3 bikini-clad women?

We should encourage kids to smoke to deal with their stress.

Probably similar reasons why Police Squad! (in color) failed, only then for Naked Gun to be a huge hit. Those Zucker style parodies seem to run very hot and cold with audiences, especially on TV. It doesn’t seem to matter all that much how good it is.

I didn’t need more reasons to not go to Disney*, but I’ll add this to the pile.

A timely and well executed reference, for sure.

The only interesting thing about the original was Victor French, and he’s long dead.

As a kid I burned the bottom of my foot (enough to cause blistering) on fresh blacktop in Palm Springs. They had just opened the repaved parking lot in the full SoCal summer heat when we pulled in to go to the bank. I took 2 steps: the first adhered my flip-flip firmly to the asphalt and the second took my foot out of said flip-flop and landed it right on crazy hot and sticky surface.

Thankfully ublock works just fine in Firefox for android and its derivatives. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t use the mobile web either without it, and then my phone would exist only to mfa things at work.
