Age yourself with a movie you saw in theaters. This is the first movie I can remember seeing in the theatre at 4 years old. The Rugrats really did own a lot of the animation culture of the 90s. I haven’t revisited this one in a while, but I feel like it’d be more enjoyable as an adult.
Age yourself with a movie you saw in theaters. Walking home from Aladdin with my dad is one of my earliest memories. I would've been around 3 at the time. It was night, we had to cross a crosswalk. A few years ago I found a film scan from the original run. I teared up a bit with nostalgia.
We’ll miss you Sir Patrick Stewart. Thank you for this hilarious bit you did for Family Guy.
Celebrating 25 years of the iPod! I’ve always had a love for these devices, and I’m proud to have one of every model! Since the 20th, I’ve added a few oddities to the collection, including the “color display” 4th gen, and the iPod Hi-Fi speaker.
Pro-tip: If the VCR eats your VHS tape, an AirPod stem is the perfect size to release the reels to respool the tape.
Whenever I got on board for something, that was the end of it for everyone else.
QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?
RJ Mitte, best known for portraying Walter Hartwell "Flynn" White Jr. on Breaking Bad, has died at the age of 34.

Mel Blanc screams are like Greek fire, we lost the technology to make sounds like this
VCF Midwest was pretty neat. Saw some neat tech things. Finally got to meet @lgr-yt.bsky.social. Ben Heck gave me a Commodore 64. Plus so much more!
Just saw Coyote vs. Acme. It was so much fun! As a lifetime fan of the Looney Tunes, it was a blast seeing all of the minor characters make appearances. Never thought I would see Babbit and Catstello (or Cool Cat) on the big screen!!
God damn it, this is not the 80 year old that appeared in Home Alone 2 we wanted to lose. Rest in Peace Tim. Thank you for always giving a 110% performance.

Fun Fact: Every single State, District, and Canadian Province I’ve visited, I’ve ridden there on Amtrak.
all i need to do is at least pass through indiana and i'll have completed a stripe across this great nation of ours
Didn’t have this on my bingo card. It doesn’t seem like it’s going for some of the heavier themes from the game, but it still looks like something I’ll have fun watching having played the games a thousand times.

This. The word loses all of its punch when you use it for everything.
I know the internet always needs a new way to insult others' interests and it was never gonna happen, but GOD I wish "slop" could remain the exclusive domain of "things made with AI" because outside of that context it's already becoming meaningless and like IT'S SO USEFUL FOR THAT PURPOSE.
Drives me insane. Makes it so annoying to try talking to the vendors or anybody else near me.
Why the fuck do conventions keep doing this
I loved the Secret Squirrel segments of 2 Stupid Dogs back in the day. I didn’t even know until it popped up on MeTV Toons a while back that it was originally a show from the 60s.
I love that the reasoning for this was that when dudes at HB rewatched the OG series. They remembered it being so much cooler and then just decided to make it real.
I’ll be headed to Chicago for a few days next month to visit VCF Midwest! What are some restaurants, stores, or other things I should check out while I’m in Chicagoland? Open to hearing about good thrift stores, local game or media stores, or other generally neat stuff!
