Rick and Morty S5:E1
I'm the opposite, in a sense. I couldn't really get hooked on Futurama. I watched pretty much all the episodes and enjoyed them, but didn't really get attached to any of the characters. However, Rick and Morty keeps me coming back because of the irreverence and the way nothing matters.
Rick and Morty is a middle finger to the universe, to causality, to the notion of object permanence, that suddenly jumps back to remind you of the endless and inescapable human suffering in the middle of it all.
Then again, it's been a fucking rough year. Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!

Epic build, though!
“The Reset” | 5G Built For Gamers | Verizon
20+ year professional game dev here. This commercial conflates a mix of common game client bugs (eg: texture streaming errors, physics glitches, and animation attachment offsets) with straight up nonsense (upper half of coffee mug popping in with a phone over and over is caused by a slow network connection?). They never show any actual network performance problems that they, as a company, have been responsible for causing in real life.
It's as if a city council came out with electrified upgrades to their formerly-diesel city buses and to promote this fact, they cut an ad showing:
- monkeys driving the bus
- constant gunfights between the elderly
- piles of feces on the floor
- bus stops existing in a quantum superposition of clearly identified and invisible
- tribal warriors on the roof spitting blowdarts at passersby
- every seat is actually a block of super-chilled ice
Never once would they point out reduction in chronic asthma to the local schoolkids or lung cancer in their bus drivers. But hey, so long as the company looks good, who cares about accuracy in ads?

Those were weird days. AQI north of 600 in SF.
Squirrel jumps on UPS delivery man
Small fucking world. I live in Mountain View now, just a block off Latham. I don't have a backyard transformer to point a webcam at, sadly...
I gotta squirrel story.
So when I lived in Mountain View, for Christ only knows what reason, the idiots in charge of power put this big-ass transformer thing on the corner of my property. The thing hummed with menace and I knew that shit wasn't right. But I didn't worry none because there was a big green metal cover over it that provided the same protection against horrendous death that a box of Kleenex would have provided the World Trade Center on 9/11.
One day, I'm standing on my balcony and drinking a beer. I mighta been stoned, too, only there's no 'mighta' that day. I'm watching the whorehouse across the street (really) and generally buzzing when I see a squirrel on the lawn. I hate squirrels. A motherfucking squirrel ate my bar fridge and fucked me outta the $50 I was selling it for on Craigslist (really).
Anyway, I got this longneck of Bud in hand and I'm working out whether I can brain the goddamn rodent with it when the neighbor's cat come rippin' ass from under the balcony and goes after Skippy.
Well here's some amusement!
The squirrel is running for it's pointless life and the cat is banking like a F-16 chasing an Iraqi MIG and I've already got $10 down on the kitty with a $3 over/under. I already know how this was gonna end and I was rootin' for it every step of the way.
Only it didn't.
The goddamn squirrel found the ONE way to get under that green metal cover I mentioned previously. The cat stops in amazement and I'm all pissed because I've been gypped outta Wild Kingdom's money shot.
A second later there's a flash like Ivy Mike going off from under the cover and an a concussive BOOM!! The fucking cover blasts off like a Space-X project gone horribly wrong -- or, in this case, delightfully right.
The cat jumps like 5 feet in the air and an arc of turds flies outta its butt, the cover returns to earth as a traffic hazard in the middle of Latham St., and the squirrel is basically vaporized. And now I'm the happiest motherfucker in Mountain View because dude, that shit was AWESOME!
I call out, "Babe! You won't believe what just happened!" 'cause you gotta totally share shit like that.
Then I realized everything is TOTALLY silent, like Little House on the Fucking Prairie silent.
"The power's out," my wife responds.
And it STAYED out for like two goddamn days while the putzes from the power company had to rewire pretty much everything that blew up.
Honey Badger didn't give a shit because Honey Badger'd copped an oz right before this shit happened. And as Fat Freddy taught us, "Dope will get you through times of no power better than power will get you through times of no dope." Or some shit like that. I dunno, I'm totally fucking baked right now.

Bit windy out
At some point, you can only lay out so many cables of anchor chain. I'm guessing she was anchored bow and stern to come in sideways like this? Otherwise she got super lucky to hit broadside on (and so did the dock). Really, if you can't be in a sheltered cove, you want to be at sea in conditions like this and get some sea room and take on the wind and waves on the best possible terms.
DESPERATE Restaurant Owner BLOCKADES Inspector's Car
It also got him back in the headlines while simultaneously making a populist play to his base, knowing all the while he risked nothing because he was just going to sign the bill anyway.
He'll be the ruler-in-exile, the kingmaker of the right going into 2022 and perhaps 2024.
I think it was also possible that Trump wanted much larger payments knowing that republicans would not pass it and in turn make him look good for trying.
Wait a minute. Did I just clinical? 😨
Bowling Robot Serves Up a Strike || ViralHog
I hate to be a buzzkill, but I'm pretty sure this is CG. With the forces involved, that arm would have to be very very very securely bolted into the floor, and... it doesn't look like it is.
Still a cool video and idea though.

The editor is not musically inclined. They butchered Canon in D, and started the lyrical section of Jupiter with a horrible MIDI interpretation halfway through the second phrase.
However, there are a lot of cool photos in there.

$91,000 Wheel of Fortune Answer
I was wondering that too! Dug a little and found out why:
This was the first cash answer of the "main game" -- it was just a $2000 question in and of itself (as you can see from the empty numbers until his $2000). However, he then went on to solve every puzzle in the rest of the "main game" (before the bonus round), racking up a record of $91,892.
Impressive, but how is this a $91,000 answer?
