It's not that difficult, really - a lot more of us in this group than outside of it

I might not call it "4 Beatles in Your Mouth" but it's impressive nonetheless! 😂
SIMON PEGG impersonating all four Beatles in 10 seconds. Seriously impressive.

I'm a big fan of technology companies that encourage people to get OFF their phones. That's why I loved this chat with @bumble @nrthtechCA. Here's the first 15 minutes of our conversation from Nrth. Listen to the full chat on this week's episode of The AmberMac Show podcast.

Today I learned… also going to have to go back and rewatch Withnail and I, it’s been ages
Dana Carvey watched Withnail and I while prepping Wayne’s World 2, got fixated on Ralph Brown’s spaced-out Danny, and wrote him into the movie. They treated it like a spiritual reprise, recreating the flat from Withnail, right down to the wallpaper.

I periodically post this just because I love this graphic history of Dungeons and Dragons and am always surprised by how many people have never seen it before and I want to share it. 🧙‍♂️❤🎲🔥👍

Pew Research 25 country survey asks "are your fellow citizens morally good" - only USA has majority thinking its citizens are morally bad. At the other end, 92% of Canadians think our citizens are morally good. US midterms aren't going to fix that problem. pewresearch.org/religion/202…

Great bassline and fun visualization!
One of my favorite basslines ever. Byron Miller just goes all the way on this.

Great trailer! As much as I have a few issues with The Rings of Power adaptation (although they nail the look), I am certainly excited for Season 3… youtu.be/maP_Kyy3DCA?si=x10F…

Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster is actually pretty cool… but it doesn't really fly. More on that and other details you may have missed from the demo below…
Musk claims his long-delayed Tesla Roadster "can basically fly like a rocket". @jeffmacarthur deep dive into why that's just not true (even if there are many cool things about the demo), what it'll cost, & how this fits into a Tesla/SpaceX merger in the latest The @AmberMac Show.

One of the most storied dev studios in gaming history. Based out of Edmonton. Terribly sad.

That's pretty cool!
Great fun trading used guitar picks with Brian May of Queen. He uses old sixpences, and was kind enough to find one with my birthyear at our concert this weekend. I use hard plastic ones, the mission emblem from my 3rd spaceflight. (such a fine person, Sir Brian May, PhD astrophysicist & phenomenal musician/human, @DrBrianMay of @QueenWillRock)

Too much investment activity has essentially devolved into straight-up gambling IMHO - numbers detached from reality are going to come back to haunt us all.
