@kurtsh@mastodon.socialHawaiian Airlines should rename themselves to "Audio Announcement in Progress" because this is the dialog passengers see no fewer than 20 times a flight - interrupting TV/movies, meals, sleep, etc.

@pgcd@mastodon.onlineMy kids wanted to watch a Blink-182 video ("ahaha they run naked") which led me to think about the preponderance of "college" in US culture.
College movies, college music, college as definition of success (even for dropouts) and so many other examples.
In other words, almost our entire world is broadly based on what male twentysomethings find ideal.

@bobmueller@mastodon.worldA temporary pool pump, a replacement pump, some major menu changes, and the beginning of a project I’ve wanted to tackle for years: digitizing my old 8mm home movies.
The first reel dates from 1961 and includes my parents, my infant brother, and several other relatives. I’ve had these films since around 2000, so finally seeing what survived all those years—and seeing some family members who are no longer with us—was pretty special.
