To be fair, if you have a name as cool as “Zendaya,” letting it stand on its own and do its thing seems only sensible.

I’d be on board if they did something longer with their Wetmore Forest characters, which are especially cute in their plushie form.

Instantly stuck in my head:

Next headline: Uncharted Loses Director to Bizarre Gardening Accident

Everything about this comments section was worth it for “robotpants.”

Good choice, Tenno.

I woke up with this song stuck in my head, and OH LOOK THERE IT IS AGAIN. I guess I just have to listen to it one more time. No choice, really.

Twitter is so deeply weird about what it considers “sensitive media.” I also remain frustrated that if you’re in a browser, you can just click to reveal the image anyway, but if you’re in the mobile app you get a prompt to change your settings, and that’s the only option. I don’t WANT to change the setting, especially…

Well, my Amazon account is old enough to drink, so, again, why not?

I was about to bring up The Cost of Magic.

I used to start movie trailer downloads before I went to bed so that hopefully they’d be done in the morning.

My favorite trailer from that school is very, very different in tone. It’s the trailer for The Comedian, and it really has nothing at all to do with the movie...because it’s about making trailers. Specifically, it’s about recording voiceovers for trailers. And it’s PERFECT.

Every time I look at these lists, there’s a voice in the back in my head going, “Is there another ‘Something of Blah and Blee’?”

Practically speaking, you wouldn’t really want to. The machines can be loud (and as I’ve ranted before about many a stream: audio is the first and most important problem you need to solve for in most cases, because good audio is a lot harder than you think).

Designers: Behold this elegant, subtle text treatment, and admire the aesthetic!

It took me an embarrassingly long time to turn off voice activation for Siri on my phone (I’d honestly forgotten it was a thing that was on by default), but at least I did.

The last time WOMAD was in the U.S. that I know of was the summer of 2001. (You make your guesses as to what happened to the ease of staging a festival of world artists in this country after that.) It was in Redmond, just a few minutes up the road from me, so I planned the day I went SUPER casually. Peter Gabriel and…

PERSON 1, upon witnessing PERSON 2 without their daemon, which at best means “witch” and at worst “abomination”: Where’s your daemon?!
PERSON 2: *shrugs* Still rendering.

Not just you. :)
