@GroovyBruce Thank you for your service, Ash, time to rest from the Neverending battle.

Bruce, I thank you as well. Your many years of dedication as Ash are loved and appreciated. May whatever comes next also bring you much joy 😊

Quando vi essa ideia pensei: “alguém finalmente lembrou de quem tem TDAH”. Já voltei pra casa depois de quase meia hora dirigindo só pra conferir o ferro. Meu cachorro deve ter achado que eu enlouqueci. 😂

@AlligatorTownie @joshstifter That held note at the end is impressive.

If I prepare properly, I can match it. But I am left breathless afterwards

@Merlin_FGC1 @joshstifter If he had calibrated it perfectly then his arm wouldnt have been blown off

@wesrobertson @joshstifter I absolutely love this movie.

[Rachel McGuire @RayRayGlitterBg]

@yvapraia @joshstifter I quite enjoyed that one as well

BOOMER: "You'd have a house by now if you stopped buying coffee."

YOU: "Coffee is $5. The down payment is $84,000."

BOOMER: "It adds up."

YOU: "$5 a day is $1,825 a year. It would take me 46 years."

BOOMER: "Then cut the subscriptions too."

YOU: "That's another $600. Now it's 34 years."

BOOMER: "And eating out."

YOU: "Fine. Zero coffee, zero streaming, zero restaurants. 27 years to the down payment. I'd be 70."

BOOMER: "See, you just have to sacrifice."

YOU: "Your house cost 3x your salary. Mine costs 8x. That's the entire gap."

BOOMER: "Don't blame me for your choices."

YOU: "I'm not blaming you. I'm asking you to look at the number."

BOOMER: "You young people just love to complain."

There it is.

Every time. Show them the math, they answer with your character.

Because if it's the coffee, nobody has to feel anything.

H.P. Lovecraft was born on this day in 1890.

A strange, reclusive New England writer who spent much of his life in obscurity… and somehow ended up reshaping horror forever.

Arkham.
Innsmouth.
The Necronomicon.
Cthulhu.
Ancient gods sleeping beneath the earth and stars that absolutely should not be looked at too closely. 😆

Lovecraft didn’t just write monsters.

He made the universe itself terrifying.

His influence runs straight through horror fiction, movies, heavy metal, video games, and, hell yes, Dungeons & Dragons.

So today, on his 136th birthday, raise a glass to the old gentleman from Providence.

Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.

Happy Birthday, H.P. Lovecraft.

August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937

The chunky wood butcher block in 1980s kitchens disappeared because of a government recommendation that had zero science behind it.

In the early 90s, food microbiologist Dean Cliver asked the USDA for the evidence behind their advice to ditch wood for plastic. They admitted they had none. So he ran the test himself.

He contaminated wood and plastic boards with E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. Three minutes later, 99.9% of the bacteria on the wood was dead. The wood's pores pull bacteria beneath the surface, where they can't survive.

Plastic went the other way. Left overnight at room temperature, the bacteria multiplied. And knife-scarred plastic was nearly impossible to sanitize, even in a dishwasher. Every cut creates a groove where bacteria hide from your sponge.

The thickness wasn't decoration either. Those blocks were end grain, wood fibers standing vertical, so the knife slides between fibers instead of cutting across them and the surface heals itself. That construction only holds together as a thick slab. Slice it thin and it cracks.

Cliver repeated the results across nine hardwoods, maple to walnut. Same outcome every time.

The butcher block was self-sanitizing and built to outlive the house. America threw it out for the board that grows bacteria overnight.

For those still unaware, I am the original author of Call of Cthulhu the roleplaying game. I run my games in the 2020s, not the 1920s. Sometimes people ask me how to make games scary in the modern era. I suspect they think that cellphones and the internet, the bad guys won't have a chance.

This sees things backwards. The cultists have cell phones too. More to the point, modern technology is horrific and dehumanizing in a way not seen in the 1920s. I'm certain the King in Yellow has a TikTok feed. Our easy communication is a vulnerability - a method to more fully doom humanity.

In The Shadow From the Steeple, Robert Bloch tells us Nyarlathotep is behind the Manhattan Project. Because of course the Great Old Ones WANT us to have nukes.

In Lovecraft's tale The Dunwich Horror, Wilbur Whateley's plan to destroy the world is thwarted because he can't get his hands on a complete version of the Necronomicon. But today, the Necronomicon would be on Project Gutenberg. Every kook and psychopath on Earth would be trying out its formulae and the good guys would be completely overwhelmed.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

George Orwell, 1984

‼️ BREAKING: Journalists hid an Airtag in a rare book shipment and confirmed Amazon to be one of the buyers behind the bulk orders destroying rare-books to feed their AI.

They tracked it to Amazon's LAS8 warehouse in Las Vegas, home to VGT3 (see logo below), a scanning operation feeding Amazon's AI training data, where workers say they cut the bindings off books to scan them faster.

Amazon won't say why the books are destroyed.

[Travis Barker @travisbarker]

Almost 10 years ago we started making this film, but it never had closure because I wasn’t flying at the time. I was crippled by anxiety and trauma and had convinced myself I would never get on a plane again. At one point I told my manager, “Let the documentary come out when I’m dead.”

I’m still here. And today, the documentary is out on Hulu.

I hope my story can inspire someone who needs it the way I needed stories like this when I was a kid. For anyone who feels trapped, like their dreams are out of reach or certain things just aren’t accessible to them, I want them to know they’re not as far away as they might seem.

I hope it can encourage anyone dealing with trauma, addiction, fear, or anything else weighing them down to keep going and overcome it. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

More than anything, I hope everyone who watches can take something from it.

I’m grateful to be alive, grateful for this life, and grateful to live it in honor and memory of the friends and family I’ve lost along the way.

Thank you 🙏🏼

"How to Save a Life" was born from Isaac Slade's real-life experience volunteering at a camp for troubled teens, serving as an account of his attempt to reach a struggling 17-year-old boy. Its massive commercial breakthrough was driven by television; after being featured in a pivotal 2006 episode of Grey's Anatomy, radio demand exploded. The track went on to spend a 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, its legacy as the ultimate 2000s TV drama ballad was further solidified when it was used in an equally emotional episode of Scrubs.

Written by lead vocalist Isaac Slade and guitarist Joe King, the track is from The Fray’s 2005 debut album of the same name and became the band’s biggest hit, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping charts in Canada and on multiple US radio charts.

Reboot was one of the first fully CGI animated cartoons, released before Toy Story in September 1994.

It had everything - action, comedy, and complex storytelling.

It is set inside a computer system called the Mainframe and had various computer themed and aptly named characters:

Bob - A Guardian program sent to protect Mainframe.
Dot Matrix - A resourceful and capable sprite.
Enzo Matrix - Dot’s younger brother.
Megabyte — The primary villain, an evil virus.
Hexadecimal — Another evil virus bad guy.

I remember seeing this show as a kid and always being upset I couldn't see more of the show, since it was being broadcast live and I had way to see any other episodes - being a computer nerd I really liked it and could relate with it.

Kids today dont know the struggle of not being able to watch a show you like.
