I like to listen to the Muckrake podcast for analysis of recent events.

Even effects-forward pieces like Jurassic Park still hold up because everyone on the island is a memorable character and the plot is exciting! Though it’s true that the constraints on effects might have caused that - the dinosaurs in that movie only had about 15 minutes of total screen-time, so they had to actually, y’know, write.
“My ad preferences” are no ads
With the deprecation of UBlock Origin, it’s time.
Even though my vaxxes are up to date, I caught the new variant recently. It was pretty nasty - a lot like strep throat.
Reminder that even though All Cops Are Bastards, the chief executive oversees the executive branch and so every president is a cop regardless.
I have a VPN, so this could definitely work.
Someone with finger joint issues should probably stay away from cajon - it’s a knuckle-rapping simulator.
That’s all, folks!
Given the history of the series, I find this to be pretty endearing. I have fond memories of playing the multi-disc Baldurs Gate 1 on PC as a child. It’s kinda fun to see that today’s gamers will have a similar experience with the same series nearly 30 years later.
Isn’t this just Taco Bell?
The neutral redrawing of districts in my home state of Michigan has made a transformational difference for both local and national politics. I really hope Wisconsin can do the same.
I bet it was Scenery by Ryo Fukui - this album is a classic YouTube recommendations banger.
Installing uBlock is so quick, all you need is 30 seconds of their consent to lean over their shoulder and install it. The whole process can be faster than the actual ad break, in some cases.
It’s hard to buy ad-free cable TV…
It’s just about my favorite activity, yeah! Though it’s best when I can play it out on the piano, it’s a lot like playing a rhythm game like OSU.
I am a conductor and pianist with a decent level of absolute pitch who reads sheet music to myself like this all the time, and this description captures the synesthetic experience really well!
The weirdest part in my experience is that it’s easy to listen to an audiobook at the same time because the sections of the brain that process each of those things are totally separate, just how you can listen to music and study at the same time.
I recently attended a polyamorous wedding where one pair of individuals in the polycule were formalizing their individual bond/commitment to each other (but both still remaining in the larger structure of the 5-6 person polyromantic/polyamorous constellation.) It was cute! All the other members of the group walked the bride and groom down the aisle and gave cute best-man-style speeches instead of a religious ceremony.
I enjoyed the event and they all seemed really happy.
I feel like ATC is one of those pattern-recognition constraint-satisfaction problem jobs where a (non-generative!) algorithm can probably do a pretty good job.
