I am amazed that such a serialized show was able to exist in the pre-streaming era

It's important to be accurate with people's names, a slight error can make a big difference. For example, Suzanne Collins is the bestselling author of the Hunger Games, but Susan Collins is the Republican Senator who's going to get us there in the real world.

Skeeter as in Scooter's twin sister from Muppet Babies?

Both sides of his face are matching again

"When I put my left foot in the wrong shoe "

I was at the Colbert taping tonight, a producer gave him the news when the show was pretty much over.

Images of Michael (Ted Danson) and Janet (D'Arcy Carden) from The Good Place. Caption has been edited to read "Bill Kristol figured out out? Bristol? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts."

When people complain about inflation, what they mean is "prices are higher than I expect them to be", and many people haven't adjusted their price expectations since 2021.

I just think Terry Crews wouldn't be the worst candidate for the Dems in 2028.

You'd be surprised by how many people don't know the things that everyone knows.

LIES OVER LIES

I like presidents who don't keep the country in a state of emergency. Seems like a skill issue.

Eventually, the GenAI tools are going to have to start charging users enough money to cover their costs, and then the (already bad) return from slop content utterly collapses. I just hope that happens before we lose too much more.

Shit, my dream of weekly home purchases has NEVER been achievable.

My apartment complex has a pool, if my neighbors can't cope with seeing someone who looks like Greyscale Shrek in swimwear, they can point their heads in a different direction.

In your Bison era?

Ugh

Is Amazon involved in the thing? I thought it was all HBO?

I used rosemary and mint Epsom salts in my bath, and now I smell like a lamb chop.

At the moment generated content is everywhere because the tools are free or cheap to use. When the investment money leaves and the consumers start paying the real costs, the volume of slop should decrease dramatically.

Dixie Kong added a coconut emoji to her Twitter bio. Diddy Kong voted Harris to keep on Dixie's good side. Kiddie Kong is too young to vote. Cranky Kong wrote in Joe Biden.

Donkey Kong supported RFK Jr through 2023 but ultimately decided not to vote. K Rool was on the fence but voted for Harris after the Cheney endorsement.

Whenever someone says "this politician/party is ignoring their base", there's a tacit belief that the party base is "me, people like me, and people who think like me."

Tiffany and Susan are the two characters we see grow up most between/across books, so that tracks.

The Good Place was wonderfully crafted (and intentionally ended), but doesn't have the "prestige TV" feel to it.

Did the casting director really say "get me the actor with the name closest to Leslie Nielsen" or is that just a rumor I made up?

I think if elected representatives of one party hired a paramilitary to take out elected representatives or appointees from the other party, yes, that would escalate to civil war.

Is the argument that if you don't instigate a civil war to prevent something, you're responsible for it happening? If so, I made the sun rise this morning.

Which of my statements are you challenging?

I don't think it is the same. Trump retained some popularity among Republicans through 2020, even as he was unpopular with the broader electorate. Whereas Democrats really didn't want Biden to run again, they just had no way to stop him.
