Genuinely thinking of doing a podcast about the spate of weird, almost immediately canceled, prime time cartoons that followed in the wake of The Simpsons season one. Producers greenlighting everything they could while not understanding why early Simpsons worked.

The best joke of Jason Aaron’s Thor run is the first big villain fighting three time travel versions of Thor and telling him he should have brought more Thors and then years later those same three Thors show up to fight the final big bad guy except this time they bring Jane Foster Thor too.

Playing Alan Wake 2 and my big takeaway so far is I should have figured out what was up with Mayor Setter a few hours earlier.

I don’t even play the game but I am looking forward to however the next Grand Theft Auto savages this car.

Beginning to think that a car company that makes a product that appeals mostly to liberal consumers having its CEO go rabidly far right at very moment every other carmaker starts directly competing with it may not have been a brilliant business decision. qz.com/tesla-elon-m...
It turns out Tesla is the only one really struggling to sell EVsqz.com It seems the EV transition is going just fine — except for Elon Musk's company

I would like to curse Will Shortz and the NYT crossword for making me think about Kokomo this late at night. That song that single-handedly kept me from realizing how great The Beach Boys were for thirteen years.

I mean ‘Fuck Elon’ is one of the consistent corporate messages of Tesla/SpaceX but usually the conversation involves horses.

Say what you will about the production differences between the UK and US Kitchen Nightmares, but after years of constant over-emphasizing everything with sound effects and background music it makes the moment when they all go silent at the end of Amy’s Baking Company hit like a ton of bricks.

I think it’s a good personality test for whether you would rather end Abbey Road with ‘Her Majesty’, the goofy hidden track about getting Queen Elizabeth turnt, or ‘The End’, the musically brilliant little poem where everyone gets a solo.

Emotional maturity is realizing that’s it’s okay to lower the Alan Wake 2 from Normal to Story because 1) I don’t have time for this and 2) it’s called ‘Story’ and isn’t that just another narrative meta level to this whole thing? sm.ign.com/ign_nordic/r...

I really love the moments in the later sections of David Copperfield where David has to offhandedly add that his latest books were smash hits and that he’s a celebrity now. And that’s before he is about to drop his version of Dicken’s first actually good book- Nicholas Nickleby.

James Cameron pitching a sequel to a bunch of Hollywood suits- writing Alien on a blackboard, adding an ‘S’ so it reads ‘Salien,’ then adding a line so it’s now ‘$alien.’

You can say that you’re tired of being told this is The Most Important Election Of Our Lives, but the reality is that preventing a coup is going to take overwhelming numbers of votes for the foreseeable future and if you aren’t willing to vote all the time you have to be ready for The Consequences.
