1/ My plumbing story.

The other day, an unnamed member of our house tried to toss a pound or more of cubed, old, turkey, into the garbage disposal.

I am in no way blaming this person: it's what garbage disposals are for, yeah?

Someone took this challenge very seriously.

Programmers were asked to design the worst user experience imaginable, and apparently some of them approached it with the dedication of a Nobel Prize project.

The goal was to make software confusing, frustrating, and almost impossible to use.

Mission accomplished.

And that is exactly what makes it so entertaining, because by exaggerating everything wrong with bad design, these creations become a perfect parody of user experience gone horribly wrong.

The uncomfortable part is that after looking at a few of them, I started recognizing features from real workplace tools.

At some point, parody and enterprise software become difficult to tell apart.

Which workplace tool have you used that feels like it was designed for this challenge?

John Tesh got the idea for iconic NBA theme “Roundball Rock” while traveling and sang it into his answering machine from a hotel room. Here he is playing the original tape then playing it with a full orchestra. Goes insanely hard, greatest American sports theme ever composed:

Imagine having this stolen from you after signing a consignment contract!
Give the Legos back or pay the man. #Legoheist

The Bricks & Minifigs scandal seems to be legitimately exposing a massive amount of corruption within law enforcement in Utah and their relationship with the Mormon church... This is so much bigger than stolen Legos...

City of Crime (1987). Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd did this soundtrack single for their 1987 movie Dragnet. Paula Abdul managed the choreography. It never troubled the charts, but it's pretty fun.

We usually think of the Double Bass as the “big” instrument in the orchestra... until the Octobass enters the chat. 🎻
This is a true “David and Goliath” moment.

Take 29 minutes to listen to this 1956 radio transmission that has haunted me for decades.

—

The one thing that is guaranteed is bureaucrats will create unintended outcomes. In the golden age of American science fiction radio, few episodes captured the absurd machinery of bureaucracy and the quiet horror of lost history quite like X Minus One's "Skulking Permit."

First broadcast on NBC on February 15, 1956 (and rebroadcast on July 4, 1957), the episode adapted Robert Sheckley's short story from the December 1954 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction.

It remains a razor-sharp parable about how autocratic thinking devours memory, how isolation can breed innocence or oblivion, and how the rediscovery of one's true origins can shatter a civilization's self-image.

Today, as we stand on the cusp of an Al-mediated Great Forgetting, I chronicled in my writings on the Amnesia Generation, this story reads less like quaint 1950s satire and more like a warning siren for our own era.

It is the companion to the latest 5000 Days Series at https://t.co/tcKeuiQyql.

Listen in and read with us…

In 1956, a forgotten radio drama warned us that empires demand crime, bureaucracy, and engineered vice to survive and that peaceful colonies must learn to skulk or be crushed. In to the Age Of Abundance this will become magnified.

Extinct, memory-holed kind of humor: edgy, vulgar millennial core
There was a short window in time when millennials were already cringe but not yet woke, and it produced shit like a College Humor song listing all the ages of consent in US states in rhyme

SUNDAY NIGHT PUBLIC DOMAIN MOVIE TIME.

1962 public-domain masterpiece The Creation of the Humanoids and it hit harder than ever.

I watched this forgotten gem in the late 1960s and it freaked me out (man).

It isn’t just a low-budget sci-fi flick about androids taking over after a nuclear war.

It’s a razor-sharp meditation on what it really means to be human when machines start looking, feeling, and even loving like us.

I’m currently writing a deep-dive https://t.co/tcKeuiQyql article on it exploring how its 60-year-old warnings about synthetic beings, identity, and the soul are playing out right now in the age of AI and the coming wave of humanoid robots.

So get ready. I have some surprises.

Watch it with me!

(The film is 100% free and legal so don’t DMCA me)

This is what the 1985 Superbowl halftime performance was.
