Young Stephen Tobolowsky (Action Jack Barker) sighting - 1992's 'Single White Female

Thinner, was bald even back then. Great movie though, haven't watched it in a couple decades. If you ever wondered what the breasts of a young Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh looked like, their tiddies are out all over the place in this movie.

See you guys in JHole.

Bighead uses Siri

In Season 5 Episode 6: Artificial Emotional Intelligence, Bighead asks Fiona (the AI bot) a maths question, she answers. He then double checks by asking... Siri!

Obviously just a writing error but this implies that Apple also exists in their universe, and even though Bighead worked at Hooli, he decided to buy an iPhone after leaving.

Edit: on closer inspection, it is definitely a Hooli phone. As Richard also uses one shortly after and the form factor is not an iPhone.

This implies that Hooli phones don't have an assistant and are integrated with Siri instead.

I'm gonna have to go back in episodes now to figure out if a Hooli assistant is ever mentioned or used.

This felt like a Silicon Valley sketch

Tried /goal for the first time:

Fix this type error so it works with Node 24...

Claude Code fixed it by adding a setting that ignores the error entirely.

My prompt was weak, the solution was weaker, and somehow everybody involved felt confident. This felt like a Silicon Valley sketch where AI fixed all code by removing it.
