The actor from Little Miss Sunshine, There Will Be Blood, and The Fablemans is not "the worst actor in SAG." The must be some unspoken grievance between Tarantino and Paul Dano. There are occasions where criticism passes from subjective taste to objective fact, and Tarantino was objectively wrong.

Pretty neat! The latest issue of ETCetera magazine includes an article by me. I wrote about my life through typewriters: my first experiences with them, and the ones I continue to use every day. I also talked about how I use an IBM Executive to typeset my chapbooks. etconline.org

Had there been a Telltale game for Mad Men set ten years later in the 1980s, they should have used New York Groove in the teaser. youtu.be/DXeeY9D9u94 No, I haven't given a lot of thought to this, why do you ask?

I had no idea her health was in that state. It's surreal. I saw her last year and she seemed fine. RIP.

Everyone here at INIT HELLO is saddened to hear of the passing of @burgerbecky.bsky.social. Becky was an inspiration to many, and will be deeply missed by the retro community, the LGBTQ community, and all the lives she touched with her energy and enthusiasm.

What did James Rolfe say when he opened the spice drawer? "I don't have thyme."

Love this so much. 💜

Okay YouTube, no more Umamusume videos, please. I didn't know what that was about.

Nantucket Lit is a free-software project. Libreboot lets me use a computer that is secure from top-to-bottom by replacing the proprietary BIOS. Here are three Macbooks running the latest Libreboot BIOS. #nantucketlit #libreboot

I finished reading Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid. The best parts were about Joan working her way through NASA's astronaut program, and the excessive scrutiny of the women candidates. The love story was good. The main character is a late bloomer, and that's nice to see in a novel.

@atgonzalez.bsky.social will be at Houston Arcade Expo this weekend. I look forward to sharing his experience in the next issue of Quarter Up. youtu.be/QTMmqaiTPmU?...

@techconnectify.bsky.social Was there a video where you talked about that little phone-dialing sound at the start of VHS tapes?

old.reddit.com/r/todayilear... Alberta has one thing going for it...

ko-fi.com/atgonzalez Alright well this not fun to talk about but I am currently without a day job and have a lot of expenses. If you've enjoyed the recent videos or articles, this is a great way to help me out.

Thanks for all the interest in the new issue of Quarter Up. It's currently the second most-popular book on Nantucket Lit. The next issue will cover #pinball and #arcade games at this month's Houston Arcade Expo. Check it out at nantucketlit.com/quarterup-8

We've all joked about movies casting people well out of high school as high-schoolers. I was watching Carrie tonight, and I noticed one of the girls in gym class played by Edie McClurg (secretary in Ferris Bueller, rental car agent in Planes, Trains & Automobiles). In 1976, she would have been 31.

I think this was the first grown-up story I read that really scared me. I can still summon the tension I felt while reading it many years ago. . The Whole Town's Sleeping, by Ray Bradbury. It can be found in the outstanding short story collection Bradbury Stories.

yellowscene.com/2025/10/10/w... I wrote this opinion piece for @yellowscenemag.bsky.social. I talk about the recent turmoil at Texas A&M, and how it compares to a dark moment from the history of the University of Colorado. George Norlin is an unsung hero of academic freedom.
