Leave it to Apple to make a big deal about releasing a $3000 laptop with a touch screen (which Windows systems have had for what, 20 years?) and STILL not include Apple Pencil support.

Man 2026 is being a brutal year for losing cool people. Walter Koenig (most known for Star Trek's Chekov) died on Sunday, too. :(

Quick reminder that Harry Houdini died on Halloween 1926, 100 years ago, following a performance and subsequent hospitalization in Detroit. His death was unrelated to the performance. He was 52.

The scariest keyboard layout for halloween.

Did you ever notice how people always share touching summaries about the recently deceased, but almost never share touching summaries about people who are still living? Am I weird for thinking we should maybe do better celebrating the living?

Every year I forget to pay homage to this video by creating an "Afraidy Cougar" avatar. :P

Time to remember that inflatable kangaroo costume that came out a couple years ago and was somehow sold out like a month before halloween. Too many closeted pouch enthusiasts.

I had no idea Eva Marie Saint (pictured here in 1951) was 102. She was in several films, notably North by Northwest. Unfortunately she was added last week to the very large list of well-known film folks that we lost in 2026. :(

I've heard rumors about the plans for coyote world conquest, but didn't know they were already staking out territory. (In all seriousness, kind of an interesting place, look it up in Wikipedia!)

I really need to start recording who does the motions on these. While MMD overall seems to have tapered off, there's still a great community still dragging everyone forward.

You have got to be freaking kidding me.

As just a kangaroo on the internet I don't feel I need to @ netgear on this, but I can't believe I have to accept a huge TOS and then dodge around sneaky UI tricks coercing me to opt in to a subscription service to just set up a wifi hotspot/router. -3/10. 👎
