My parents put one in my Christmas stocking. I kept it for a couple years and then sold it on eBay. Since then, I’ve seen a whole package on display at the @ranchoobiwan.bsky.social museum.

I want Apple to introduce a feature where I can anonymously disable another iPhone’s speakerphone if it’s in range.

'Eyeball' planet spied by James Webb telescope might be habitablewww.livescience.com Located 50 light-years from Earth, the beady-eyed exoplanet LHS 1140 b could be a perfect candidate for discovering liquid water outside the solar system, new research suggests.

In my 1984 re-read, onto Star Wars #79, "The Big Con," written by Jo Duffy with art by Ron Frenz and Tom Palmer. Notable for having Lando cosplay as Space Pirate Captain Harlock while disguising himself in the search for Han. Fun stuff.

It’s 50 light years away. 293,931,268,659,155 miles. The fastest spacecraft has gone 394,736 mph. It would take 744,627,469 hours (over 85,003 years) to reach it. Damn.

YOU GUYS THEY FOUND AN EYEBALL PLANET

• I had an early Tile tracker. When the battery died, they wanted me to buy a whole new Tile. Nope. Burke ended up taking it apart. • Circuit City’s DIVX was a whole thing that existed for 1 year and died 25 years ago.

• Automatic (which is a terrible company name for SEO…so see the screenshot. Former TWiT sponsor.) • WeMo Smart Plug (Dad never took out of the package. By the time I tried it, the firmware on it was incompatible) • WiThings Scale (same as above, but at least it still shows weight as a dumb scale)

Just went looking for my favorite ex-flavor which I recall being in the graveyard a long time ago. Found the full list of discontinued flavors and I had no idea there were THAT many! list.fandom.com/wiki/List_of... Good riddance to Dilbert's World Totally Nuts RIP Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl

It's a shame that some discontinued flavors have been removed from the graveyard. It's like they're Discontinued Discontinued Foods!

Lenscrafters: We noticed that you haven’t shared your feedback yet. Me: I noticed that I haven't received my new glasses yet. Fuck off.

Around 1980, I took the Pepsi Challenge at an air show at the Lewiston-Auburn Airport. I picked Coke. They weren’t thrilled.

I checked yesterday and although the original account is gone, other Annette Masons are still there. Seeing who they follow reveals other names. I couldn’t find any actually posting (yet). Likely building up the botnet until just before Election Day.

Have you picked out your Halloween costume, voted, and finished your Christmas shopping? Happy New Year!

I feel like @chrislhayes.bsky.social should be running down the hall to get them to pull that stupid-ass article off the site. #HowEmbarrassing

Nirvana vs Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit upyoutu.be MP3 - http://djmorgoth.blogspot.com Rickroll'd? It looks like it, doesn't it? I bet you all thought this RickRolling thing had died down - Well, you were wrong. Like the that little toy animal, stuffed full of batteries, with the drums it just keeps on going. DJ Morgoth is an excellent mashup creator and DJ based in Germany. He runs an awesome night called Mashup Your Bootz. He made this great mashup, so I made a video of it for him. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit versus Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

Never gonna give up this mashup…

They should have used the KI (Kaylyn Intelligence) captions instead!

The current Venn diagram of vegans and people who like Scott Adams is two very separate circles.

Parkinson’s Expert Visited the White House Eight Times in Eight Monthswww.nytimes.com The White House has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease and that there has been no reason to update the most recent testing, conducted in February.

Yeah because the White House was working on a bill to help those with Parkinson’s disease that was signed this week. This is literal far right disinformation from the New York Times.

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

I wanted to do some yard work, but it was so humid this weekend that I did not want to be outside at all. The giant weeds on the hill will have to wait.

To be fair, there’s more people on Threads than Bluesky.

I can’t imagine what kind of corporate meetings at Friendly’s HQ brought these monstrosities to life. Would anyone actually ever order these? (If you would, I’m not here to judge, but they seem like such odd combinations to me.)

I’m sure they’ll not see ANY of what you wrote except “$150”.

I was clearing out some redundant video files from @twit.tv’s CDN and stumbled across video files for about 50 episodes of The Giz Wiz from early 2010. (These are the oldest video files for that show that still exist.) Will get those linked up on the site soon.
