@lauren It's based on an old Greek or Persian legend.

@lauren They weren't perfect for all of those reasons but until plasma showed up, they were the best you could get for colour fidelity. Even OLED is still kinda ennh. Did you know the big Sony BVMa had hemisphere-specific models?

@donmoyn.bsky.social Gridiron football, American-style, is the apotheosis of Puritan-founded culture: 10-14s of excitement spread out over an hour and then tucked away into a three hour long presentation, so no one can get too excited all at once.

@lauren I miss my Wega sometimes. All 240 pounds of it. It took three people to get it to the curb when I finally had to let it go.

@lauren "humiliated" implies that Infantino has any shame. He doesn't now, and never did before, either. FIFA is crooks the whole way down.

@donmoyn.bsky.social Oh for fuck's sake. There is no more profound a "love the sinner, hate the sin" relationship than the one between the typical soccer fan and FIFA.

@carnage4life Oof the co-founder of Airbnb complaining about housing shortages is the kind of irony that would have killed my anemic ass dead last year.

@donmoyn.bsky.social Oh for fuck's sake. There is no more profound a "love the sinner, hate the sin" relationship we the one between the typical soccer fan and FIFA.

I suppose it's a testament of sorts to the ubiquity of American culture that the soft serve machine at the Changi airport McDonald's is ALSO broken.

@donmoyn.bsky.social I will never not be happy watching that fascist apologist cry.

@ianbetteridge Awww, but he seems like such a decent fellow, with an incredible knack for bringing us all together and eliciting the very best in people, with only the very best people! /s
