When radioactivity was discovered, there was a rush to market for all sorts of radioactive consumer goods. There were water jugs made out of uranium glass, for example. I think about that a lot these days whenever I see AI products being marketed to consumers.

Drop something from the 1970s 🗓️🖤⏰

I'm amused by the sneakers labeled "vegan." Those aren't vegan, man, they're made of dinosaurs!

Pickups from the Huntsville Comic & Pop Culture Expo last weekend. First I had Todd Nauck and Sam de la Rosa sign some books. I always get someone to sign a New Universe book if they did one. #HsvExpo #NewU 1/4

Dire straits... Cartoon this week for @dailymaverick.co.za

Do not be fooled by cheap imitations, even if they are (supposedly) "gorgeous," "realistic," and "interesting."

Say hello to Voyager's Ensign Kim... Possible. From this past weekend's #HsvExpo.

I don't think this is what I was looking for in a Mountain Dew.

Flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. Tuition and intuition do not.

Long enough ago that the list was still pretty short ...yet we're still making these mistakes.

Favorite part of this story: Atari *lost* the KC Munchkin lawsuit! The district court ruled that was not infringing to have a maze game with no code or art assets stolen. Atari appealed, got an injunction blocking further sales, and after the O2 was discontinued the case just petered out.

Filker and friend Dave Wheeler could use a little help. If you can't donate, you can help by sharing here or anywhere else you think it might reach people. Thanks!

I am glad to welcome integrity back, and will always be glad whenever I can welcome integrity back.

Anyone got an archive of early _Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine_ (or a better memory than me)? I'm remembering a limerick from an early issue: Gentle Reader, you may wonder why isn't SF the same as Sci-Fi? You see, there's a fine line between Robert Heinlein and _Son of the Two-Headed Fly_.

Hi. I'm gonna remind you, once again, that you can go into the accessibility options in settings and turn on the toggle that doesn't let you post without alt text.

This snippet from Videogaming & Computergaming Illustrated describes the real issue with the 83 crash. Nothing about game quality so much as retail stockrooms being so full that they couldn't really get new stuff, and what they did have had to be discounted or sold back to publishers eventually

#MazeMonday I saw these two Pac-Man games at a roadside stop in February 2025: Pac-Man Arcade in a Tin and Pac-Man Game Keyring. Didn't buy either, I'm afraid. (Those are Tetris versions of the same things behind each.) #PacMan

The haul from today's "Penny a Page" sale at 2nd & Charles. It's getting hard to find any comics TPBs with page numbers any more.* But $140 cover price (marked down to $50 used) for only $18.50? I'll take it! #Marvel #ComicBooks * Books have to have page numbers for the sale.

#RandomGameSaturday Sears Tele-Games Pinball Breakaway, a rebadged version of the Atari Video Pinball dedicated console, in the box. Or maybe they were produced in the opposite order, but Atari created it. (I guess you'll have to trust me that the console in there.)

This computer nerd set up a database of Albums Wanted. I made the year of release column an integer. I forgot that the year column in my Albums database is *not* an integer. It's the Beatles' fault for releasing more than one album a year. 1/3

Hey, @sanctumblog.bsky.social, I found your next Oreo purchase. And I'd be curious to see the other three packages, as this is 4 of 4.
