In more conventional times, I'd be wary of this kind of analysis as veering too far into speculation. But I agree with Snyder that there's enough evidence to compel us to recognize it as a possibility. Not a certainty, but a possibility.

Live action remakes of the animated movies are the most boring idea I’ve ever heard of wasting that Money on.

There was a Minuteman II silo just over the barbed wire fence from the farm when I was a kid. Looked that way every day, wondering when. People are so stupid.

Our California solar panels legit save an incredible amount of money. That’s the only reason the right hates them.

Now that Timothy Chalamet has brought opera into the national conversation, if you haven't been to one before, it's fun! The LA Opera is great because you can dress up, but also go casually if you want. Also you can get tickets around the $40-50 range.

Just saw a street corner singer beat the shit out of a very threatening heckler, and the dinner crowd applause was pretty robust. Palm Springs is often pretty impressive.

American Theatres in what were major theatre towns are closing or consolidating and laying off at 2008-10 rates. And the industry never recovered from 2008-10.

I don’t think people have grasped what it means to have a WH & a military who commits mass murder over and over for the sole purpose of committing mass murder.

A profound lack of shame isn’t charisma, but a lot of people can’t tell the difference.

Pat Sajak once rounded a corner and ran forehead first into my chest, then landed in a heap at my feet, jumped up, looked both ways, and ran away.

Big mistake to teach the wealthy folks or the young dudes what a memento mori might look like but not what one, every single one of them, is supposed to *mean*.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

Muni was a heavyweight Yiddish theatre actor in Chicago - his parents were actors too, the detail in his performances is shocking

Returning Deep Cuts: The Game champion Erik Gratton isn’t just surviving our movie trivia gauntlet… he and his wife actually took on Misery live on stage. Yes that Misery.

Which raises an important question:
How method is too method? πŸ‘€πŸ”¨

…but by our season (sorry, cycle), the long-timers said that since the new players had grown up watching the show, they all knew their cues, coming in.

When I worked for ANTM, the editors would talk about early seasons (sorry, cycles), when the contestants would need some coaching and several takes to get the screaming excitement right, the surprised delight to be meeting corporate people from, like, Sprite or Wendy’s or whatever…
