A bit of pointless film trivia that I noticed a while ago: The directors of the two Short Circuit movies had each previously directed separate unrelated adaptations of Dracula, both of which were released in 1979.

Three months ago I bought an old Superman comic and found an oddly familiar looking space telescope inside. Today, I've just had an article about it published by Scientific American! www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

These guys want AI to write their replies to other people's pointless emails because they're so busy and important, but you know they'd be outraged if someone sent *them* an AI response to an email *they* thought was important

Hmm, I thought I’d solved this pavement puzzle in town, but I didn’t hear the jingle or get a reward. I must have done something wrong.

The Adventures of Prince Achmed is the earliest animated feature that survives today. It's from 1926 -- and it's a masterpiece. Director Lotte Reiniger and her team set out to make a movie unlike any other, and they succeeded. We tell the story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-99-yea...

REVIEWING THE BEST 4K MONITORS! Wow this was a lot of work. Okay so the 4,000th best monitor is a horrible green-phosphor CRT from 1959 which gives you electric shocks during normal usage The 3,999th best monitor isn't much better. Get comfortable, we've got a long way to go until the good ones

I like the idea of anybody at Fandom worrying about Brand Safety. Your brand is making a version of Wikipedia that runs like dogshit and auto plays a video of people I don’t know every time I ask myself “what’s Greedo’s dad’s name?”
