If Thomas Pynchon finally gave an interview at age 88, who would be the ideal interviewer? Somehow it would make sense if it was Letterman. Two wiseass American icons, one a TV legend and the other a legendary TV addict

I know a way to reclaim em-dashes from AI. Just use the double dash method like this -- instead of the option-shift-dash keyboard shortcut that the large language models use (—).

Let -- reign as the human em-dash

Edible kicked in while I read chapter 13 of Shadow Ticket -- background on the "Al Capone of Cheese" character with funny absurd details about Wisconsin cheese politics -- and it seemed like the most delightful and brilliant thing I'd ever read.

If Fargo is a comedy then basically everything is. No offense to Fargo, which fully deserves its modern classic status, but doesn't belong on this list variety.com/lists/best-c...

Are people out there serving turkey *and* ham at Thanksgiving? I’ve never heard of that, I don’t understand why ham would be involved if you’re already serving a turkey
with charity and goodwill, i must here part ways with rolls.

Character in Shadow Ticket suggesting that the Depression happening at the same time as the rise of talkies was an op to kill vaudeville. God bless this octogenarian American treasure

They got kneecapped by Cava
Fast-casual salad chain Sweetgreen is struggling as its traffic and sales continue to fall and it reports millions in losses each quarter.

The company hasn’t figured out how to turn a profit.

Finally starting Shadow Ticket. All that 1930s lingo and style is so fun and evocative. If Inherent Vice was Pynchon doing Big Lebowski, this is him doing Miller's Crossing and Hudsucker Proxy.

Dropout.TV is fascinating to me because it's like an alt-comedy UCB-ass version of Game Show Network

All of my political views and policy ideas have basically collapsed to "Punish the Villains" and I mumble it to myself every time I see a news article these days

I'm getting this Dropout TV stuff, which feels a lot like how Earwolf felt in the 2010s. But it's weird that this platform rose from the ashes of CollegeHumor, a website I haven't thought about since like 2006 that must have been colonized by UCB people at some point

Sorry but I simply do not believe that someone who lives in Berwyn is going to exert significant national influence over anything.
It's absolutely insane that Nick Fuentes lives and records in *Berwyn*. I can't even process that

I'd like to once again remind everyone that Hamnet was the actual name of Shakespeare's actual son. It's not a weird or bad title. For the love of god could someone other than me please learn this well-established fact

There's a streaming service that's just called "The Network" now. A name that *aspires* to dystopian vibes.
