McCluskey: aw hell Charlie’s got us pinned down man! Niles: oh tut tut, as long as we’re stuck here, *takes bottle of wine out of backpack* McCluskey: Sarge is gone man! Niles (to Frasier): this man wouldn’t know a Barolo from a-oh wait he’s died Frasier: yes well don’t you think I see that

You do the math! (you do the monster math)

I feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel for fine-tuning the aerodynamic model. We're accurately reproducing even more subtle things like hyzer-flips, and disc ratings are mapping pretty closely to reality. The biggest weak spot is low-speed dynamics; can't get a strong fade to show up yet

The thing with the pouches is there’s always some tuna left in there, and it’s always enough that you feel like you need to get it out. That’s the tuna company making you into a big cat, that’s what a cat would think.

one reason this is hard is the phenomenon of hysteresis, sort of a one-way ratchet where the effort required to escape an equilibrium is greater than what gets you to it in the first place. eutrophication of lake mendota is one of the classic examples for teaching hysteresis in dynamical systems

The Dark Inverse of Ska:

alien crop circle makers, welcome to the resistance

the dichotomy between spectator and participant is such an interesting angle. My biggest takeaway is that wealthy folks at the world cup aren't paying to spectate, but to feel like participants. That the expensive seats are also increasingly visible on TV only makes it more explicit.

Remembering Jason Isbell’s response once to a fan bitching about his liberal politics:

ahh yes. nothing left on this planet. no way to revert the changes made by capitalism. global depreciation of value, very unfortunate. yes, we must abandon it all and go to space to capitalize on the abyssal void [my rocket explodes violently on the landing pad]

Classical music has gotten too far from its roots. We need to bring back traditional practices like: - performers cutting passages they don’t feel like playing - putting random pieces of unrelated music in between movements of a multi-movement work - hiring audience members to faint

Elon just heard they're making one of the keebler elves biracial and got so mad on his jet he threw one of his toddlers out the emergency exit (Cybertodd)

When your cat looks in another direction for a minute and you're puzzled about what has their attention, that's when it's addressing the audience. If you read Garfield you'd understand that's the beat where it's thinking about something really funny, at your expense, making you look like an idiot

The Yoshi's Island map screen theme is remarkably similar to the song "Anywhere Is" by Irish singer Enya. Both of these were composed around 1994 and released in 1995, meaning that neither of them could have been influenced by each other and this is an astounding coincidence.

As a child I was stumped on how they got the motion blur in this scene. It's claymation so it can't just be drawn in. Much later I found out that all the blur in the tracking and panning shots is actual *motion* blur. The sets were moved for a fraction of a second during each exposure!

I've had this whiteboard Dinosaur Comics template up in my classroom for almost a year now, and there's a striking pattern: nearly everyone has T-Rex say "Roar" in Panel 2. Says something about humans I think. @ryannorth.ca have you ever made one with a "Roar" in panel 2?
