I don't know much about Jesse Jackson. Anybody got a good book recommendation about him/the rainbow coalition/progressive politics in the 80s/etc.?

"Reba" has two of these characters (out of seven), and they account for β€” conservatively β€” 85% of the funny stuff on the show, compared to 0% from the wisecrackin' characters.

Many such cases.

One lesson from the show "Reba" is that if you're making an unambitious, by-the-numbers sitcom, you should throw in a character whose defining trait is being dumb and confident, because that's easy comedy that always hits.

Olympic ice dancers going with a medley that goes from "Wild Mountain Thyme" on bagpipes into "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" into "The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond" into "Scotland the Brave."

ME: "So I take it these guys are French?"

They renamed Georgetown Community Hospital to Centerpoint Health Georgetown, perhaps due to DEI/Woke.

A new bit I've committed to is whenever a Bob Dylan song comes on, I refer to it as "a Nobel Prize-winning song."

A cool thing about my phone is that if I have the ringer turned on, the phone makes a sound every time I send a text message, and there's no way to turn it off. Good feature.

The Bluesky map put me into "spaceflight enthusiasts" and not "professional astronautical community," presumably because it's assuming that I'm about to be fired.

I just talked to my buddy who works in advertising, and he told me that the commercials for "the big game" that come out around the time of the Super Bowl is no coincidence. They do it on purpose.
