I had to check the package of the Oreos I bought this morning to see if I'd accidentally bought the "Thins" version. It's two cookies with just enough filling to hold them together. Seriously, I think they're airbrushing it in at this point.
Happy Holidays, yadda yadda yadda.

So if smart phones and other devices can't get the memory and processors they need because AI data centers are buying them up, where will they get the data they need to effectively spy on us?

Kinda bummed I thought of a really good divergent take on a minor character in Cyrano de Bergerac, and I can't do it because I got a key fact on an even MORE minor character related to the one I was thinking of completely wrong.

It's been way too long since I've watched Misery, I can't remember if it's also a Christmas movie or if it just takes place in the general winter season.
Regardless, what a loss Rob Reiner is. The man deserved a lifespan matching Van Dyke's for the joy he's given us.

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.
