I was unaware of this (and Coco Chanel’s Nazi sympathizing) until watching The New Look on AppleTV. It wasn’t that well received, but I appreciated seeing a story take place during WWII that treated the occupation of France not as the main plot, but as a setting.

My dad had a friend who was a psychotherapist who taught his parrot only one phrase: “Birds don’t talk.”

I always felt like his professional made this diabolical.

It affects everyone differently. I have definitely noticed a lack of motivation after getting stoned. My partner has never experienced it at all.

I did.

The verb comes from the phrase Lynch Law, a term for a punishment without trial. Two Americans during this era are generally credited for coining the phrase: Charles Lynch (1736–1796) and William Lynch (1742–1820), both of whom lived in Virginia in the 1780s.

The verb “to lynch”(like the city of Lynchburg) comes from the same family. Literally. Charles Lynch is older brother to John Lynch (abolitionist and founder of Lynchburg).

One did. On a date. This made mainstream news 2 months ago: https://youtu.be/tx5F6llyaVw

Indie has always been a way to define a category for creators without access to the same amount of money that publishers had historically provided. Now publishers are both no longer needed to release a game and are very rarely taking chances on original games from first time developers.

We’ve gotta figure out some rules for what “indie” means. E33 is a great game, but that budget is estimated to be least $20 million. How many small teams are not being honored because a spot is being taken up by a game that has the same budget as a small AAA project?

It’s weird that I know about Johnson’s Johnson long before I became aware of all the legislation that passed while he was in office:

• Civil Rights Act
• Voting Rights Act
• Medicare/Medicaid
• Food Stamps (and other social programs)
• Immigration & Nationality Act
• National Endowment for the Arts
• Public Broadcasting Act (PBS/NPR)
• various education & environmental bills

That dick got a lot done…

And also started the war in Vietnam…

Kind of a complex legacy, but holy shit that’s a lot of good domestic work, ESPECIALLY for a single term president (plus the year following JFKs assassination).

Literally anything from McDonald’s. I have no nostalgia for it as we couldn’t afford to eat out when I was growing up. The chopped onions on the burgers are such a particular flavor and texture that I now refuse to prepare onions this way when cooking. The breading on the chicken nuggets are some kind of sweet tempura batter that is revolting.

And then what happened?

It’s not just the obsoleteness of it, it’s the fact that any device that is on the other end of the TV’s HDMI cable would need to be actively routing internet traffic into the HDMI connection. What device would do that? Any device that’s using the TV as output for itself has no reason to also include network access.

Maybe it’s just me, but if the president can fire them at a whim and replace them with whoever he wants, they don’t seem very “independent.”

Is this a reference to Devo’s favorite Devo song? https://youtu.be/SMhwddNQSWQ

Yeah, I also thinks it helps as a training piece because it forces players to think past the next move. There’s virtually no move of opportunity that you can make with it. If you’re going to use it all, you need to think a minimum of two moves ahead.

A Freaky Friday piece that can swap with a non-king or pawn piece of the same color still on the board, as long as neither can be captured or can take another piece before or immediately following the swap. Moves and captures like a king.

Does it get in the way and slow things down, or does it offer protection to allies while they batttle the opposition?
