Does anyone know when this new Amy Poehler / Richard Masur sitcom premieres? I assume it's on Peacock but there's no info on the app yet.

Semi-rhetorical question:
If -- as the government commercials YouTube started serving me today claim -- drug dealers are actively *trying* to kill Americans by lacing other drugs with fentanyl, why go through all the trouble of smuggling it in? Why not lace drugs with, say, off the shelf Draino?

If memory serves, the written rule used to be two steps with an unspoken third step exemption for the name brand players people actually paid to see. But my frame of reference is back when the Magic / Bird and Jordan eras overlapped. 😅

YouTube advertising a 'country music mix' with a thumbnail of singer Allie Goertz' cover of the Nine Inch Nails song "Closer", showing her with some kind of fun orange orthodontic headgear.

Such nonsense bullshit they can't even spell it consistently.

It's been decades since I've watched more than a couple minutes of professional basketball in a single sitting, so please forgive this no doubt naive, out of touch question : how many steps does it take to get called for traveling these days?

Was going to say Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zelwegger, but turns out their Chainsaw Massacre movie came out the year *after* Dazed and Confused, not the year before as I'd been misremembering.
