Unused image for driving post
Jun. 13th, 2026 05:37 pmI found one with the name "The Black Pearl" for SciShow reports 'Everyone On Earth Has The Same Commute,' a driving update.


Another unused image for Emmys post
Jun. 12th, 2026 04:38 pmI could have used an image like this for SciShow explains 'How Instagram Hacks Your Brain' plus Howtown on brain rot for Flashback Friday, but I would have had to work harder for it. Nah.

Replaced video for Randy Rainbow post
Jun. 10th, 2026 07:47 amI had the following video in Randy Rainbow sings 'A Very Stable Genius Part Two!' for Wayback Wednesday, but replaced it with one from the stage.
Modern Major-General | The Pirates of Penzance | TUNE.
Modern Major-General | The Pirates of Penzance | TUNE.
When the Pirates of Penzance attack Mabel (Linda Ronstadt) and her sisters, their father, the Major-General, arrives! What is The Pirates of Penzance (1983) about? Frederic (Rex Smith), who has spent his formative years as a junior pirate, plans to mark his 21st birthday by breaking free from the Pirate King (Kevin Kline) and beginning his courtship of Mabel (Linda Ronstadt). But because he was born on Feb. 29, a date that only arrives every fourth year, Frederic isn't technically 21 -- and the Pirate King is still his master. Unless something gives, Frederic will soon be on a collision course with the Pirate King's new nemesis: Mabel's father.Randy didn't include the parts where he rhymes himself into a corner then has to rhyme himself out. That would have been even funnier, but apparently it's only in this movie. The original didn't have those, and it's the original Randy is parodying.
Unused video for Marsh Family post
Jun. 9th, 2026 10:10 amI could have used this in Marsh Family sings 'Bile and Lies' about JD Vance for Tuneful Tuesday, but decided to stick to a song about a U.S. politician.
Unused video for Backrooms post
Jun. 7th, 2026 02:17 pmI could have used this video in 'The Mythology of the Backrooms Explained' by Storied plus 'Backrooms' box office, but decided to contrast ABC and CNN instead.
My original idea for today's post on Crazy Eddie's Motie News could have used this image. Instead, I wrote Howtown asks 'Why is this one spot not warming?' for World Environment Day on Flashback Friday. Maybe for World Oceans Day.

A big, ugly, MEAN puppy! Now I can't get that image out of my head.
It wouldn't surprise me if the devs used a puppy playing rough as a model or for motion capture.

My comment on We Caught Elon Musk’s AI Company Defying Federal Law.
Watch "We Saw What AI Data Centers Don't Want You to See" on PBS Terra. I think it counts as one.
