Tonight's music: Carl Stalling's... well, you'll see. The composer was born this day in 1891, and if you're my age, there's a chance you've heard dozens of hours of his music and not even known it.

I never liked Musou games and I'm only so-so on Zelda but Age of Imprisonment is great, actually? I'm having so much fun.

The name of the woman who said 'Where's the beef?' in the Wendy's commercial takes up space in my head that I could be using for other information.

In case you needed any more incentive to block the “ex-GOP” media grifter, this is a lie told to make conservatives believe Jan 6th was an inside job.

Black & White 2 is Lionhead's secret best game but The Movies is fantastic and I'm glad to see it getting its due.
Lionhead's secret best game, The Movies, turns twenty today. I wrote about why I think it's so special and under-appreciated. It's abandonware, btw, so you can download this free from archive.org or whatever. www.eurogamer.net/lionheads-se...
Lionhead's secret best game, and one of the greatest ever abandonware games - The Movies - turns 20 today
As Lionhead's The Movies turns 20 years old, we remember just how great it was.

Black Bag was - great? All writing, all acting, an actual puzzle box, and what a joy to see it pieced together.

James Watson, he stole one good idea and spent the rest of his life being a racist, sexist crank.
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Just watched a hagiographic film trailer that churned my stomach - and every commenter was overcome with thrill and joy. Very much having my own "No, it's the children who are wrong" moment.

I appreciate it's a tough time for artists and I am not mad if you term-search 'comm*ssion' to find work (I should know better than to type the word out thoughtlessly), but I will probably do my own search to find the right artist for my needs. Thank you <3

Today's music: Dvorak's 8th symphony, a personal favourite. Not much happened in classical music history on Nov. 7, so I pulled it from the grab bag <3
