What the hell are we doing?
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The National Anthem of the U.S. was set to the tune of an entirely different but popular-at-the-time song ("To Anacreon In Heaven"). That makes Weird Al the most quintessentially American singer alive today.

Oh. I thought "the Blip" in the MCU was a reference to the '80s Marvel video game magazine. But apparently that, itself, was a reference to an earlier Marvel monster.

#RandomGameSaturday Mario vs. Donkey Kong for Game Boy Advance #GBA. A gift along with a DS from my son some time back. Playing a game in spurts that ramps up the difficulty each level is not the way to go, but here I am. I still need to finish it.

I'm in my 50s. YIL the Oscar Mayer "Hot Diggity" hot dog jingle from my childhood was actually an appropriation of a 1956 #1 single by Perry Como. Somehow this information was not revealed over all that time. Until now.

One of the PC industry’s earliest bouts with regulation came thanks in part to the CB radio. Thanks, FCC.
