  • It’s a show called Mystery Science Theater 3000. It’s about someone stuck in space by evil scientists and forced to watch bad movies with his robot companions (played by puppets). The show is made up mostly of them watching the movie with only their silhouettes in the bottom of the screen as they make fun of the movie, like in the comic, with occasional segments where they leave the theater and usually do some kind of skit related to the film.

    It’s kinda corny but it’s a fun show. They have a channel on YouTube where they upload some of the episodes and play others live, and an app where you can watch most of them ad-free.








  • I’m not sure it’s exclusive to Western developers, as I don’t know much about software in other parts of the world, but there does seem to be an unfortunate trend of companies forgoing software optimization because modern computers are usually beefy enough to handle it, and it’s cheaper to ship out inefficient slapdash software than it is to take the time and resources to fix it.


  • I mostly remember him from the debate on evolution he did with Bill Nye. Everyone told Nye not to do it, since there was no way Ham was going to debate in good faith. Surprise surprise, Ham did not debate in good faith. Outright said no evidence would change his mind in the middle of the debate, that he would always interpret any evidence in such a way that it fit with what he already decided was the truth. Anyway, all this to say fuck Ken Ham.
