Today in Tabs. You may want to read the Tabs newsletter (took a break in 2016 but came back this year on Substack) (written by Rusty Foster, of Kuro5hin/MeFi’s own note for some) for a broad round up in recent Internet on-goings. Or, if for example, you want to read about the AP quoting Doug, the potato, and possibly the world’s biggest potato, discovered in NZ (since corrected):
“We put a hat on him. We put him on Facebook, taking him for a walk, giving him some sunshine,” Doug said. “It’s all a bit of fun. It’s amazing what entertains people.”
Or maybe, from yesterday:
Elijah Wood is an actor best known for his star turn in 1998’s “The Faculty” along with Josh Hartnett and a pre-Daily Show Jon Stewart, but he also appeared as some kind of agrarian Munchkin in a New Zealand adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s unbearably boring fantasy travelogue “The Lord of the Rings.”
(The rest of that story is mostly depressing.)
An older interview touching on the Kuro5hin connection and other things.
