I had a lucky run on 007 tonight. One of those games where everything simply came together with extra balls and multi-balls. My previous high score on this game was 124 million.

The ability to remove your post when a hostile account quote-tweets you is a great feature of Bluesky. To do it, go to their quote-tweet of you, click on the three dots in the bottom right, then click “detach quote.” It shows up as “removed by author.”

Here’s a blocklist of the federal agency accounts that were set up on Bluesky today just to troll. You can block ‘em all at once with a couple of taps here.

Finally saw a Bad Cats table in person and it is as amazing as I hoped.

Look at this beautiful machine. The first officially licensed Star Wars pinball game. Only 350 made.

I've confirmed with Barrels of Fun that there will be a Winchester Mystery House pinball machine in the lobby of the actual house in San Jose.

Ultimorphic, who make the Portal and Princess Bride game, have a Dracula game that riffs on Edward Gorey art. 🧛‍♂️ I'd love to see this in action.

Why is Marty blonde in the Back to the Future pinball?

The new Winchester Mystery House pinball from Barrels of Fun is an absolute delight. If the line wasn't so long I would have spent most of the day going back to that one.

All lined up for Pinball Expo!

my teachers, growing up: you need to pay more attention in class me, now: "Mind wandering is one of the critical resources on which the remarkable creativity of high-functioning ADHD individuals is based. This makes them such an incredibly valuable asset for our society & the future of our planet."

I want to make it perfectly clear I've got nothing against TRON: ARES. I'm looking forward to seeing it. But what I want most is for the younger generations to love going to the movies, which means we need more movies for them. Not every movie needs to be for 50 year old white guys.

BREAKING: The SIFF Egyptian, the historic and beloved Capitol Hill movie theater, will not be reopening. After decades of bringing movie magic to Seattle audiences, the space will now permanently conclude operations under SIFF 📽️ My story for @seattletimes.com: www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

Somehow the legendary Karen Berger (@karenpberger.bsky.social) has fewer than 1000 followers here. This must be corrected. You know what to do, comics folks.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Finally watching Chucky s03e07 and (spoilers) the Vice President dies by electricity from a speaker. Next in line is the Speaker of the House. Was that intentional?

Been awhile since I took part in #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday so here we are. I've been putting off Brightburn since it came out. As a horror film it was better than I expected. The other three were rewatches.

So exhausting..

RIP Gawker Media

Welp. Guess I'll never finish reading this article on Deadline because the entire screen is ad pop-ups and the x for that car ad is under the Deadline banner. At one point there was a subscribe to Deadline pop up over that Breyanzin ad which was under a tiny Bank of America ad.

Real talk, this shouldn't even be a contest. Much respect to Chris Cornell but, between these two specific albums, Sebastian Bach is the superior vocalist. Cornell would find his trademark vocal style with the next Soundgarden album.

July 4: SKID ROW - Skid Row (1989) Another perfectly listenable hard rock album from ‘89 that isn’t going to win any prizes for depth of thought but makes it hard to work out from an outsider POV why the genre was quite so despised

Here’s a thread of cheese fries you can get at soccer stadiums in the U.K.

The young guy who ambushed those fire fighters was a gun-obsessed Nazi and it’s mostly been a local story since the first coupla days, when his motives were still unknown.

Fun pinball fact: Fish Tales is not about fishing. Fish Tales is about lying about fishing.

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Today's @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social 1989 choice is one of the hardest. Both XTC's "Oranges and Lemons" and Pizzicato Five's "By Her Majesty's Request" are legendary albums. P5 is timelessly cool and has fewer skippable tracks. youtu.be/APtFSWBlHVU?...

"Behind the Backglass,” an exhibit celebrating women who shaped pinball, opened at the Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda on Friday, June 13. The exhibit features eight pinball machines on which women made a significant contribution or had a major influence. alamedapost.com/features/ala...

1989's NEW ROSE HOTEL. 25 mins in Cat Power's "In This Hole" starts. I knew the song from her 1996 album WHAT WOULD THE COMMUNITY THINK. Her debut album wasn't released until 1995. It's probably a boring story, but I'd love to know more about how this song ended up on the soundtrack. #filmsky

Ballerina might thin on plot, but it's some of the best action of the franchise. I spent far too long trying to make Ana grena-de Armas work in a sentence. #lastfour #letterboxdfriday
