Protecting norms includes continuing to talk about silly stuff while being acutely aware that the world is on fire.
I mean, what's the price? 15 oz can of Bush's brand is, what, $2?

Is this $3? Then maybe, if they are somehow better. But not if it's $13.

Actually, I have the real answer, as the liquid is used by some as an ingredient. Would be nice to be able to get a little for a recipe then seal it back up.

Sorry, I thought I could add the alt text after posting...

So, I Googled around and finally figured out that he said "jive-ass". But not before Google AI hallucinated this episode description.

Best Hughes soundtrack.
Best Hughes female protagonist (Watts)
Worst Hughes story/script. (Technically 16 Candles is worse, but if you take out the racism and misogyny bits, it's way better.)

Thanks for blowing this picture up, I had merely chuckled mildly at the name juxtaposition and moved on without really looking.

A few years ago, I thought "Oh, I should learn more about Cub since I only know one song", which led me to many Pitchfork-ish articles on Twee-Pop and Cuddlecore, which is how I found out this girl I sort of knew from Junior High had a "highly influential" album on K Records in 1992.

Nothing says "I'm under 40 and only eat McDonald's" like not appreciating this post.

Do they own it, or is it just really specifically themed?

Oh man... That TMBG documentary where they are playing this in a NYC Tower Records or whatever, and it just quietly says "September 10th, 2001, 11:30 pm..." Punches me in the gut every time.

This one seems more relevant after the WSJ article.

What, you mean you've never met a neighbor who was a member of the People's Temple?

I had a lot of problems with this season (mainly pacing) and I almost didn't make it to the finale, but ..it was good!

I keep reading headlines like this, but it's in the UK.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they die, but there are at least two mostly-music MTV channels still on in the US, and maybe more that I don't personally have access to.

I mean, it could be flesh out OR flush out...

I don't know if they were mad, but someone blocked me after a comment comparing Poor Things to Frankenhooker, which is admittedly not the most original thought.

The funny thing is I was not commenting on some movie snob post about Yorgos Lanthimos. It was a post about how great Frankenhooker is.

Working in a video store in the 90s, guy came in to order laserdiscs- Dune and The People Under The Stairs. Commented to a co-worker about the odd order (we sold very few laserdiscs, and usually just Criterion Collection art house films.)

"I think he's in them." It was Everett McGill.
