Bring back pop up video!

Scott Lapatine@scott.stereogum.com

‘Pop-Up Video’ premiered 30 years ago today. 🫧 The popular VH-1 program added trivia and snide quips to music videos via “info nuggets” that popped up on-screen.

for my friends in Western Washington, remember that the phone number for the Seattle chapter of the National Lawyers' Guild is 206-OK-TRY-ME

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social

Last year today was one of the scariest days of my life. We initially called a lawyer who wanted to work with feds to arrange a perp walk. Kat told that guy to fuck himself. Thank God for the National Lawyer's Guild, who Kat called right after. They were ready to fight the bullshit on zero notice.

And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

Told my partner that Wildwood is a new movie with Alexander Skaargard as the love interest and in my defense the both titles start with W and are vaguely nature themed.

I’m not sure if this is a point for or against, but here’s some movies that terrified me as a child: Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Willow, The Little Mermaid, E.T. Not to be confused with movies that traumatized me: Bambi, Neverending Story, Land Before Time.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

JRR Tolkien: You paint that picture of the key scene from the Two Towers where Frodo and Sam fight Gollum? Donato Giancola: Sure did, Ron, real fuckin' sexy just like you asked. JRRT: What.

The Taming of Sméagol Donato Giancola

Husband, cooking: “this recipe wants 1/4c of broth but I’m not opening a box of broth just for 1/4c. We do have an open bottle of white wine, though, so I used that.” The recipe also wants 4 kinds of cheese, which we did have, so I’m excited to report back.

Fascinating.

Okay, so @kathryntewson has discovered a set of linked, commonly controlled websites that are authoritatively giving false information on the difference between "attorney" and "lawyer," and are almost certainly AI generated. I want to talk about why AI gets this wrong.

We have a couple new stickers in the shop and I’m particularly pleased with this little guy. I usually have a mix of sweet and snarky designs, but everything is getting to me lately so the new additions all skew to the salty🧂

My annual review said I'm good at change management and I have to agree. Change is hard, so help everyone feel more comfortable by doing it with a smile and some cute stickers.

Again, as an atheist, I find it extremely annoying to have my non-belief in the antichrist tested in this way

@cwarzel.bsky.social tells @timmiller.bsky.social why the tech oligarchs’ grand vision for the future feels so profoundly anti-human: "They don't seem to be able to articulate a brilliant vision of what the future looks like, because I think their imaginations are really, really small."

The odyssey is about when you’re in Brooklyn and going to another part of Brooklyn but you have to go into manhattan to change trains

We have to shame the city council into feeding hungry kids but when it comes to cops, we make it rain 🤬

It's very instructive to see how identitarian arguments are being deployed to DENY free school meals to kids. All over a piddling $3 million. They increased the SPD budget by $35M last year! Harrell added $150M in new spending in his last 2 years!

I would also hate early sunsets, though, if we stayed in standard time. I honestly don’t care as long as it just. stops. changing.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.
