Looking at actual records will always be better.
Jacob’s Ladder (1990) - clip, 3:22

Director Adrian Lyne uses a body horror technique in which an actor is recorded waving his head around at a low frame rate, resulting in horrific fast motion when played back. Filmmakers have since achieved the effect by digitally removing frames from footage shot at a normal rate.
James Brown: “The Payback” (1973)
Did someone say it’s Funky Friday? Here, have some.
This one goes out to my bank, for ripping me off again, and to all the bankers out there who’ve been stealing from us for way too long. You will pay.
Fuck you, Garageband. Fuck you right in the bug that made this happen.
GOPers Block Debate on Credit Card Rate Freeze →
Back in the United States, Republican senators have blocked debate on a measure to freeze credit card interest rates. Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd had written a bill that would have prevented interest rate hikes before new regulations take effect next year. But on Wednesday, Republicans thwarted Dodd’s attempt to debate the measure on the Senate floor.
Right. Of course. Democrats have the decency to at least pretend they have people’s best interests at heart. Republicans seem to flaunt the fact that they do not.
That’s balls, man—real, ugly, corporate old man balls.
Improved Retweet Avatars (via lhl)
This greasemonkey script modifies how avatars are displayed for Twitter’s new Retweet functionality into something that I think makes more sense: the retweeter’s avatar (whom you are following) is restored to the primary view, and an inset is added for the retweet source.
Ya know, if you care about that sort of thing. I think it makes more sense. I’m finding the current way a little too jarring.
