So new Muppets things are such a huge risk that nothing can get greenlit, but one of the biggest companies on the planet thinks its a good idea to use those same Muppets for an ad it's willing to bet a nontrivial part of its holiday marketing on the idea. Got it.

NEW: The Muppets and Walmart have launched a new Christmas commercial inspired by The Muppet Christmas Carol. “A Who Knew Carol” brings together The Muppets alongside Walton Goggins as Ebenezer Scrooge and Stephanie Beatriz as Scrooge’s niece.

Well, this is one update I didn't think I would make. After 12.5 years, my time at Android Central is at an end. I learned a lot, met so many amazing folks, and generally had a lot of fun. I now need to figure out where to go next. Let me know if anyone is looking to hire.

For the last three months, I have been making 6ft versions of the Argonath from the Peter Jackson LOTR films. Each one is about 60lbs with a cavity in the base for holding a 10lb bag of sand for added stability. They each separate into two pieces for easier travel.

The statues themselves are made from 52 3D Printed pieces, then assembled with pins and held together with E6000, before all the cracks were filled in with silicone and the whole piece painted with three layers of driveway sealant so it felt like stone when touched.

One would hope a game from five years ago built by the same company that is making this headset would work well standalone.

I think the most amazing thing about this announcement is how few people in my general orbit will now bother using this ridiculous absent feature now that it's become a bit of forced culture to put emoji on either side of a word or phrase in slack to provide emphasis.

👋 Hi, hello. How's it going? A small announcement: Slack now (finally) supports underlining text! 🎉 ✍️ Emphasize your messages. ❗️Underscore important points. 🏅Give CMD+U something to do. How will you put underlining to use? 👀
Text message bubble from Lee Hao reading, "Today is a great day! Underline is now available in messages and canvas," posted at 3:02 PM, with one applause emoji reaction and "great" and "Available" are underlined.

Truly, how long before there are stories about using underlines in Slack being perceived as aggressive or angry?

If you decide to use ChatGPT Atlas (@OpenAI's new browser), make double sure you don't reuse your password for OpenAI AND have strong MFA on. If that reused password shows up in a breach & can be used against your AI browser, you're gonna have a much bigger breach on your hands.

High Republic fans. Listen, We may never have a farewell episode of The High Republic Show... And that's ok, because we do have a video I made of my first day on the High Republic set. No cuts. No script. Just pure nonsense for one minute and thirty two seconds. #starwars
