Gen-Z movie YouTubers in 2035:
"Here's a surprising fact you probably didn't notice: this movie doesn't use the Wilhelm Scream even ONCE!"

Every so often, I come across a comment or post that feels like the good old internet.

It's not the most hilarious thing ever, but something about it made me feel like it was 2002 again.

“This time round, we’re keeping things simple. Lessons were learned last time! I’m building a small, narrowly focused company to make these watches. I don’t envision raising money from investors, or hiring a big team. The emphasis is on sustainability. I want to keep making cool gadgets and keep Pebble going long into the future.”

Another movie I watched this weekend was Suzume, an original anime about a teenage girl who gets swept up in a mission to travel across Japan and close a series of magical doorways that threaten to let a great evil pass from the spirit realm into the living world.

It was directed by Makoto Shinkai, who also directed Weathering With You (which I own) and Your Name (which I have heard of but not seen).

Over the weekend, I watched the movie Colossal (2016). You should watch it if you can. It is almost impossible to describe without spoiling...

Over the weekend, I watched the movie Colossal (2016). You should watch it if you can. It is almost impossible to describe without spoiling it, but to convince people to see it I'll say that it's a darkly comedic story about a big city girl returning to her hometown — and also there are kaiju.

It's free (with ads) on Tubi, and that's actually the ONLY place you can currently watch it digitally. I bought a used copy on Blu-Ray to make sure I can still see it in the future.

It seems that WordPress doesn’t have the resources to review plugins or even allow new account registrations on their .org site, but they made sure to get a neat-o falling snow effect on their plugin directory pages for the holidays.

Nice, priorities, @photomatt!

@photomatt is at it again:
“If you would like to fund legal attacks against me, I would encourage you to sign up for WP Engine services…”

What a dumb way to phrase it — he probably hasn’t considered the possibility that many people really would like to fund legal attacks on him at this point. #WordPress #Mullenweg

Clarification: the scare quotes around “magazine” aren’t meant to suggest anything about the legitimacy of Time — it’s just a recognition that it’s not really a magazine these days.

No, it’s their own choices that suggest something about their legitimacy.

Time “magazine” named The Felon as their “Person of Year” for 2024.

Do I *really* need to invoke Godwin’s Law, re: Time’s “Man of the Year” for 1938?

I almost forgot that Mullenweg was a petulant tech bro, driven by business grievances that he’s decided to make personal. Nice of him to sign up for another media cycle so we can all remember.

Content warning:Murder-adjacent comedy

I know we should be taking the murder of a health insurance CEO seriously, but it doesn’t help that the prime suspect’s name looks distractingly similar to “Luigi’s Mansion”
