It was like one of those short promotional behind the scenes videos with clips interspersed with interviews.

They were making a modern day reboot movie of I.M. Weasel. The segment was about I.R. Baboon’s new backstory as an outcast, shunned by other baboons not for wearing clothes, but for his poor posture—which was described as “fish back.”

I.R. Baboon was voiced by Hank Azaria doing the Moe Syzlack voice.

Also they were rebooting Dexter’s Laboratory but in this one Dee Dee was also a genius with a secret lab; but still had an antagonistic relationship with Dexter because the type of science she did was “girly.”

Ah yes, that classic moviefilm: Marley, Marley and Me and Marley and Me.

Star Trek memes is having a fun time.

Microsoft seem keen to position themselves as better and more hip and happening with good design and practices, but good god some of the code they put out is still utter bollocks.

Honestly how the ever-loving fuck did Microsoft manage to make a “customisable” SSO solution where the login, registration, and forgotten password pages all use totally different HTML to output the exact same fields????!!!!

Well shit eBay why don’t you tell us who won then, jeez.

Well, it's a lot cheaper than the real thing.

Draft of govt’s replacement to the Common Agricultural Policy falls well short of EU’s environmental and wildlife protection standards. Quelle surprise.

Fun fact: There have only been five Catholic popes named Sixtus.
