Niles and Daphne? FRASIER is enough reruns that someone not old (me) remembers it.

Ah, Dawn and Tim!  That the boyfriend was always around and he felt much more threatening than the US version--both physically and like Dawn was trapped.  That it ended without resolution, then resolved it with the special Xmas episode was perfect.

Unlike CHEERS, I don’t think it is in heavy re-run viewing cycles.

Yes. The timeline confused me, but then I realized that the “Sam & Diane” probably was based on re-runs and mythology rather than living through it. Don’t think anyone watches MOONLIGHTING reruns.

I had to look up what a Gucci mule was. I know what Gucci is and I thought I knew what a mule was (backless shoe, or what I’d call a “slipper”) but wondered that he’d wear it to work and think it was okay.

Also, no idea that speedrunning and the trans community had a connection, much less a close, supportive one.  I want to read THAT article.

With John Madden’s death I’ve been reading about his legacy, including with the MADDEN titles.

It gives you an insight into the culture at Blizzard.

Your post reminded me the Imaginary Worlds podcast episode PLAYING BLIND. At first I thought it was going to simply be about how blind players manage a visual medium (it had that), but then pivoted on how being open to the needs of disabled players made the games better for everyone. They talked about obvious things…

What fascinated me about DUNE was the battle. Giant ships, thousands of soldiers, clashing.... and it just was.
