    What do you think the most famous phone number of all time is ?

    Jump

  • Before Jenny, there was Pennsylvania 6-5000. From wiki:

    "Many big band musicians played in Hotel Pennsylvania's Cafe Rouge in New York City, including the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The hotel's telephone number, Pennsylvania 6-5000, inspired the Glenn Miller 1940 Top 5 Billboard hit of the same name."

    And similarly, Transylvania 6-5000, which is where I first heard it.

  • Am I the only person who notices the Autistic accent?

    Jump

  • Is this the same accent the indie musicians sing in, where they do weird things with their vowels to sound like they ate a lemon recently?

    I've noticed a staccato cadence to some speech that people might say is indicative of autism, but not an accent.

  • No Kings!

  • ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king!

    DENNIS: Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

  • What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend?

    Jump

  • You just beat me to it. They had to rush the last episode since it was canceled, but overall a solid show that had an interesting take on a common premise.

  • Never forget

    Jump

  • If you haven't read The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende, put it on your list. Please and thank you.

  • Samsung drops Android 16 beta for Galaxy S25 with more AI you probably don’t want

    Jump

  • From the article: "The company claims One UI 8 brings "multimodal capabilities, UX tailored to different device form factors, and personalized, proactive suggestions." Having used the new OS for a few hours, it doesn't seem like much has changed with Samsung's AI implementation."

    If you are curious, the article goes into more detail about the tweaks to the AI layer. I just wanted to provide a TLDR for those keeping up with the general AI shenanigans.

  • Trakt to increase prices to $60 for all users, including those on legacy, promotional, and grandfathered pricing

    Jump

  • I am outside of the loop and I appreciate your break-down. I am all for paying for useful services, but I have such a backlog of media that I need to watch, I don't benefit from Trakt. I like a paid business model, though

    We should all question a "free" app that lets us spend 1 or 2 or 8 hours a day on their platform. We've gotten greedy, thinking that everything should be personal data or advertiser supported. It stinks that Trakt is cutting features while raising prices, all for a pretty simple service, but I think subscription services that protect your privacy are worth funding.

  • Why not 6660 soldiers? Or just one up Revelations and go with 6666 soldiers. The revolution may not be televised, but the end times will.

  • Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class'

    Jump

  • So, Bill (after the divorce) buys the ranch as a gift, but the headline circles it back to a unsourced Melinda quote ON YAHOO FINANCE! This is another obfuscating hatchet job to whitewash billionaire behaviour by media owned by said billionaires. Please don't engage. This is non-news. Down vote this to the sewer where it belongs.

  • Any Female Linux Youtubers?

    Jump

  • I know what you mean, but I immediately heard it different. It's something we should be asking daily, just to make sure they have what they need. Are trans women okay? Are trans men okay? What do you need? I have a sympathetic ear and bourbon; how can I help?
