To conclude our celebration of Psychonauts' birthday, we ask @timoflegend.bsky.social to talk about all the books, films, and games that inspired him while crafting Raz's adventure. From Haruki Murakami to Skies of Arcadia, there's all kinds of inspirations! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpiK...

Also @marlo.ooo if you want a fun video www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO7Z...

I've written about American weather for over a decade and Canadian weather for four years. I'm fluent in both units. Fahrenheit is better than Celsius for air temperatures. It's more precise and it's scaled better for human tolerances.

Anyone who internalizes this line of bullshit will absolutely always be outflanked by people who know how to actually do things

It's a weird world where the shittier a piece of software looks, the more I trust it. The fancy looking ones? They're going to steal my data or extort me in pricing or just not work. Crappy looking tools made by some random dude? This shit is going to get the job done and do nothing else.

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested

On this day that young man was the first human to fly in space, orbiting Earth once, ejecting to land under parachute, near where his spaceship bounced to a stop. Yuri Gagarin, I salute your pioneering bravery.

New blog post - something different: waynehale.wordpress.com/2025/04/08/r...

Trying to imagine how different the entire course of human history might have been right now if literally anyone else in that NewsRadio cast had become the world's biggest podcaster

@vinnycaravella.bsky.social @alexnavarro.bsky.social @austinwalker.bsky.social I'm rewatching Project B.E.A.S.T. for the first time in years. So so good. My favorite part is Austin's occasional worried "ohhhhhhh boy."

There’s always money in the banana stand.

@shiftf1podcast.bsky.social I was just listening to an old episode and decided that it's been far too long since you've had Lang on the show! Can we make this happen? :D

Welcome to Witchbrook College ✨ Discover a world filled with wonder and charm on the road to graduation and beyond 🧑‍🎓 #Witchbrook

apropos of nothing but it's funny how certain folks will always try to chase the style of studio ghibli/miyazaki but only on a surface level and never tackle the themes of environmentalism, anti-war, and empathy i.e. the stuff that made those movies masterpieces

We’re so excited to finally pull back the curtain on Witchbrook and share a glimpse of what we’ve been brewing!🔮 Take a peek at our first look blog here: bit.ly/WBFirstLookB...

@dannyodwyer.bsky.social this is a lot easier for me to say than for you to do, but just wanted to put it out there that I would very much enjoy a segment on @shiftf1podcast.bsky.social where you frantically attempt to fit an entire Formula 2 race summary into 30 seconds.

I'm so obsessed with this goddamn cookie

Oh, no room for Bender, huh? Fine! I'll go build my own lunar lander, with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the lunar lander and the blackjack. Ah, screw the whole thing. #Futurama

Firefly's Blue Ghost lander captured the diamond ring effect during last night's total lunar eclipse (or total solar eclipse on the moon). The mix of sunlight and the blue of earth's atmosphere is striking.

Wow! Just in. Today's lunar eclipse, captured from the perspective of the Moon itself, by @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social Blue Ghost lander! It shows the Sun emerging from behind Earth.
