Exactly the same thing Microsoft did a decade ago to “be more modern.” Make everything flatter and more like a paper cutout. It wasn’t “modern” when Microsoft did it, and it isn’t “modern” now. It’s just conforming to the graphic designer fad of the day.

Somewhere in the multiverse, it’s The Maura Tierney Experience that causes mayhem in American society.

A much lesser-known one, but I don’t think that anything beats UFO:

For newer series, I quite like Doom Patrol.

No discussion [SHADO] of excellent [1980] tv intros is complete [UFO] without a mention [1980] of UFO.

There are many, so I’m just going to add Archer. I love the Saul Bass style, and that intro always makes me smile.

Season 1 Space 1999.

Please upgrade to Cat 6 for higher speed.

No doubt yet another WB plot to stop JMS from rebooting Babylon 5.

There were CNN shows on HBO Max?

I really enjoyed Villeneuve’s Dune, but one of the weakest points was Chang Chen’s Dr. Yueh. There’s nothing wrong with his performance, but he just kinda seems to be there. “Oh yeah, I’m doing this because the Harkonnens have my wife, sorry ‘bout the betrayal and stuff.” But this is probably due to the fact that…

Came here for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within - surprised it’s not on here!

The military used injection guns to do assembly line vaccinations. I’d much rather have a needle. They hurt a lot less. 

It isn’t that Apple is causing them to lose money in so much as they shouldn’t have been able to make the money they did by targeting us the way they did in the first place. Though if they really want to blame anything, blame the work life balance in capitalism. I’m sure most of those sales last year were because…

Any fictional story about a pandemic that doesn’t include a bunch of idiots running around licking doorknobs to own the libs just doesn’t seem realistic enough. 

And you’d think this would be easily filtered out. Who needs to use Unicode for source code?

I still don’t get it. To call something with a wire wireless is ludicrous to begin with. Making a phone come in contact with a device at the end of a wire vs directly plugging in the wire seems like a very small difference, honestly.

the root cause of the issue though was that the car companies were too quick to cancel large orders of chips at the start of the pandemic for fear of looking bad to wall street by carrying too much inventory. when they did that, the companies who had been nursing along the old fabs to build those chips said “finally!”…

Texas - “I issued an Executive Order protecting Texans’ right to choose whether they get the COVID vaccine & added it to the special session agenda.”

hey all you dipshit old white male Republican governors, don’t you just fucking HATE when the government tries to dictate what you can or can’t do with your body? that just infuriates me.
