19 YEARS AGO

I know how long ago the 2000s happened, and how long YouTube has been around, but that still feels incorrect somehow.

Why do people in eyeglasses ads always look like they've never worn glasses a day in their life?

Only a fraction of a fraction of Americans knew who Charlie Kirk was before September 10th. Half that many (generously) know who Erika Kirk is right now.
Scoop: After an underwhelming ratings performance for Bari Weiss’ town hall with Erika Kirk, the CBS News editor in chief quietly delayed a planned address to staffers about the network’s future, pushing it back to January instead

AI is so corrosive even journalism's "good guys" can't help themselves.
1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

Quick survey: My family aren't hardcore MAGA types. They're conservative, but generally socially conscious and accepting of new ideas.

But they've become hardliners on abortion and will never vote for any pro-choice candidate. They will vote for the worst people "to save babies."

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

The only one of these I hadn't seen (many, many times) before a couple years ago is The Sure Thing. Based on the poster, I'd always assumed it was some B-tier teen romp and had no idea Reiner even directed it.

It's so much more than that, btw. I recommend!
Rob Reiner's first seven films: 1. Spinal Tap. 2. The Sure Thing. 3. Stand By Me. 4. THE PRINCESS BRIDE. 5. WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. 6. Misery 7. A Few Good Men. Good lord. Even Spielberg included 1941 in his first seven.

And that was after playing Michael Stivic. I hope this news isn't true. But...

OTD eleven years ago: The communal aspect of everyone listening to that album for the first time at the same time was one of the most fun events that ever happened on old-timey Twitter.

Sure, titling youtube videos is kind of a clickbaity artform, but "the hidden truth they tried to hide" is just a miss on every level.

Either "they" hid it and you're spilling the beans, making it no longer hidden, or it remains hidden and "they" were actually successful.

Huh, I've lived in Atlanta since 2011, and East Point in particular since 2014. I know the general location of the Dungeon House (OutKast, et al) is nearby, but TIL I pass by T-Boz of TLC's childhood home every time I drive to Kroger.

I've thrown Wikipedia a little donation during their fundraising drives more years than not, but I actually set up a recurring monthly donation this year just to make these assholes sadder in some small way.

This is our new CEO, Javier. I have officially adopted him. He is estimated to be 8 years old and he's deaf, so there's no need to give any feedback on his job performance. He is just a perfect gentlemen and I am so grateful he made his way to me. 14/10 no bias at all

Apparently college football playoff/bowl selection was controversial this year. What else is new?

I went back and checked. 2019 was the last season I watched. Saban left Tua in a late season game well after a win was assured. He got a gnarly leg injury. I was out.

This first time I saw this meme a few years ago, I was destroyed to learn this wasn't actual dialogue from The Wire (yes, I've never watched The Wire).

This is a bit Steve Earle would do irl, though. I'm sure of it.

Every other country: A full range of EVs from cheap and small to expensive and enormous

The US: Bring back land barges that get 10 mpg!
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."
