Seeing the sound of music in Hollywood and the lot i parked in is also being used for Beverly Hills High School's prom. Meaning that not only is my car possibly the oldest and almost certainly the lowest value in that lot, but also that my car is probably older than most people parking in that lot

Tired: this meeting could have been an email. Wired: this app could have been a website

You opened the review copy? Way to collapse the wave function. Though that's a A+ game name there

Finally got 100% on Vampire Crawlers, and that is a super satisfying thing to roll credits on. Very surprised still that they made another game in a different style and it was still this fun

While a super fun episode, I can't help but feel that Jaymo's "you fire and the thing you shot does something" is a threshold that Disneyland's Frontierland shooting range (and every other similar attraction) figured out decades ago without any screens. Derick's right, Mr Toad's is way better

This is the best quality image I could get for this in 10 minutes, but relevant

Surprisingly, this episode has me restraining myself from going for more obscure film animation references. Because there's a lot to draw from there At this point, I think I appreciate the Zelda games more from playing non-Zelda games than playing Zelda games

Cool Spot as a video game was better than 7 Up as a drink has ever been

I can only assume that losing a weekend to Vampire Crawlers after having previously lost weekends to Vampire Survivors would be akin to getting sober from one kind of alcohol only to get hooked on another kind of alcohol. I may not know how drinking works. But definitely have a vampire problem

Think the semi truck that overtook us going like 90 was the same truck that overtook us like 10 miles ago doing 90. Definitely didn't pass it between then. Not entirely sure how, so equal parts confused, concerned, and thinking I should really watch Duel

Just realized that I leave Las Vegas just as it gets taken over for a Magic the Gathering convention. Timed things poorly.

I don't think this quite is the same thing as saying Acta Prima Aprilia has an impact factor, but this is so satisfying still

Libraries are COOL and everyone should check out the resources their local library can provide. And whenever possible, vote to give libraries more money! I read 1-2 audiobooks a week, checked out via a phone app! Last summer I won a tote bag and a deck of cards in a reading challenge! #booksky

Cyndi Lauper in Las Vegas, making up for not seeing her in LA

So I didn't realize this until now, but the new resort on the strip (hard Rock?) is being built in the right spot to basically block Trump's from being seen from the strip, as the slightly to the side view shows

They better learn from what happened to Vulcan when it crossed Einstein

Looking up comparisons about fish and chips based on the kind of fish, and apparently the info I'm getting is that haddock is flaky and flake isn't flaky. And once again, I don't understand seafood

On the book tour of A City on Mars, during a discussion of whether you could eliminate all life on Earth for a reasonable price, a person asked how to specifically annihilate Queens. Randall Munroe replied, 'regicide?' COMIC◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/end-2 PATREON◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm...

I wonder how many of the people getting this wrong also complain about how in their day schools were better because they just taught the basics like math or like to say things like "facts don't care about your feelings"

Thunder Mountain is underappreciated - and it's one of the best night rides at Disneyland. Especially since it is awesome to ride during either the fireworks or Fantasmic happening. Hard to time, though.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

I find it really weird that the California Association of Relators keep running ads about how "California is not for sale". Granted, I also am skeptical of commercials with PG&E weighing in, because they're PG&E

Well, for as little as i heard about it, Hoppers was a delight. Though with it being out in theaters still, hopefully that means it's still getting some decent numbers from people late to the party

Idea: a version of Jurassic Park where the T Rex has been redone to move the way a person in an inflatable T Rex costume moves but everything else is the same. So it does that weird awkward head bounce and stuff.

I really want to know what was in the others, both the acceptable answers and unacceptable answers. For example: the Garyosaurus (shout out to the two other nerds who remember this from childhood)

Simmons: Okay, you ready? Let's do this on three. One... Grif: Wait. On three? Or three and then go? Simmons: On three. It's always faster to go on three. Grif: Okay, okay. On three.

Jason Paige, the voice behind the original Pokemon theme song, joins us on The Old SwitchAroo to talk about his upcoming video game 🎮, playable on the Nintendo Game Boy, where you step into the role of Jason Paige, the voice of a generation!

Once again, I think there should be a law that every website, below the password field to log in, has a little mouseover that reminds you what that site's password rules are. Anyone trying to hack it will find that anyway, but for people just trying to remember it'd save like 10 minutes of hassle

Too young to have been directly scared by what happens during mission launch in the 80s, it was re-entry that had me more worried but all looks successful. (Was hoping for a possible sonic boom here but no luck)

The Gaia DR3 IDs for TESS Input Catalog Targets RNAAS article is now published! #exoplanets 🔭🧪 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3...

One of the greatest additions to the April Fools Day papers on ArXiv is when Astrobites decided to start writing peer-review responses to as many of them as possible (this feels like that was a much larger task this year)

Artemis II from our 0.8m at Mt Kent, more than half way to the moon. To track it we are pointing fairly close to the nearly full moon - reminds me of that scene in The Dish #artemis

Written in 1937

A great summary of a really important topic - assessing undergrad astronomy degrees. Though in that context, I do hope work like this is followed by more discussion on grad school in a way that draws distinctions between grad schools that are PhD programs and those that are terminal Masters degrees

So I'm not sure how often SMBC Theater, James Ashby, and @zachweinersmith.bsky.social get cited in scientific papers (or things that look like scientific papers) but this'll add 1 to that too-low number It's in the introduction, so doesn't require too much digging to reach it

With submissions in the double digits, this hasn't just been the biggest year for Acta Prima Aprilia, it's more submissions than the next two biggest years combined (9) or the first 7 years of Acta Prima Aprilia.

As it's now Wednesday in enough of the world - this is looking like a banner year for Acta Prima Aprilia, with a number of submissions in this year's issue: www.actaprimaaprilia.com/2026-issue Here's some highlights

Kat and I had a chance to talk about (and in my case, moderately evangelize for) the Blue Bayou, which I firmly believe to be the best table service anywhere in Disneyland or DCA. Even if they don't have free rolls anymore And of course, Wild Mouse has a bunch of great episodes I'm not on, too

After like 30 years in the dark, I finally have some idea of what's up with that weird kid in Super Smash Bros

Got to love a meal that comes with some atmosphere

I have JUST realized that the Kroger chocolate chip cookies that are competing with Chips Ahoy even use the exact same pun. They are Chip Mates.

I miss riding high on 14/16 at the end of day one of March Madness

Been thinking the internet's been in need of this one this month because it's been living in my head a lot lately
