Ok I finally got the DeLorean out today. Lots of thumbs ups and waves. Somebody drove by waving a back to the future t shirt out the window ha ha.

I don't understand why P. Diddy is a cool name but Puff Daddy was lame.
It's cute how Wikipedia optimistically describes MMMBop by Hanson as "the band's most successful single to date."
It's not easy to pull off a big go-private merger like this, but EA did it. Their buyers butchered all obstructions. They itemized what was needed and then dismembered the list as a team. Really inspiring stuff.
Chris Kerr@kerrblimey.bsky.social · 6d agoNEW: EA says all regulatory approvals required to complete its take-private merger with Saudi Arabia’s wealth fund and other investors have been obtained. Deal expected to close next week on August 4, 2026.
I guess I'm not getting any more work done this morning.

You probably already had bad feelings about EA, but this gives you everything you need to know to avoid all of their games from here on out.
Rock Paper Shotgun@rockpapershotgun.bsky.social · 2w agoThe $55 billion leveraged buyout which will see Saudi Arabia, Silver Lake and Jared Kushner-founded investment firm Affinity Partners become the new owners of EA has been given the thumbs up by the European Commission. https://bit.ly/4b61Cmj

“He had no arms or legs. He couldn't see, hear, or speak. This is how he led a nation.”-ass tagline. #letterboxd
“Emperor’s tofu” from a takeout place in Denver airport. I sincerely doubt any emperor was ever served anything remotely like this.
I need a setting on Letterboxd that automatically blocks people who 1) give this movie more than one star, and 2) rate The Odyssey one star or lower.
WIRED@wired.com · 2w agoDescribed as the “feel-good movie of white-boy summer” by one extremist, the movie Citizen Vigilante has been hailed by the far right as a way to convert moderates to their cause.
It's berry season and you have the tiniest friends. These critically endangered babies are Egyptian tortoises that hatched on July 4 and 6, 2026. Currently, our Egyptian tortoises are living behind the scenes in a warm and cozy habitat with lots of attention from their dedicated animal keepers.
One of my favorite cooking exercises is making Japanese curry out of whatever's in the pantry. Today we've got Beyond Beef Steak Tips (highly recommend) with shrimp as a kind of surf 'n' turf thing, plus peas (didn't have enough onions) and -- the biggest experiment -- apples.
Just realized how much I love that Leia spends the entirety of Empire in a frumpy jumpsuit. Imagine if @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp had directed this.
People don't remember this now, but the original voice actor for Boba Fett was way cooler sounding than Temuera Morrison and it's honestly not close.
FIFA knocking Switzerland down to 10 players for no reason and then adding 9 minutes of extra time is like at the end of Gladiator when Commodus stabbed Maximus in the back with a poison knife before the finale. It's real tough not being Argentina in this tourney.
This profile of id Software in @retrogamermag.bsky.social is excellent, but it hits different after this week’s tragic layoffs and the developer’s subsequent “I for one welcome our bean-counting overlords” hostage statement.
