Untouchable, but I'm forcing you to feel me.
Is Livin' on a Prayer too on the nose at this point?

As a society, we moved on far too quickly from Bloc Party

This is the one area where the LLM advocates succeeded, which was blurring the line of what people mean in very specific ways when taking about AI, so the conversation can go from "I think stealing art for AI is bad." and then the bad-faith retort is "Why don't you support early cancer detection?"

I don't think the gap between Utley and Whitaker is nearly as wide as you're making it out to be, with the difference in bWAR being entirely a matter of the Phillies keeping Utley in the minors too long and then platooning him. From an on-field standpoint, there's little difference

Being pretty equal offensively is a big win for Utley considering positions

I know this is part of his OBP, but 204 HBPs is also one of those things that should be part of his conversation.

This is something that annoys me so much about modern discourse: For a very vocal and large-enough-to-be-tedious portion of all fanbases, anything less than full-throated adoration is a personal attack. Basically all culture is religion now and all nonbelievers must be shamed and converted

Even Bryce Harper knows it! www.youtube.com/shorts/F19eU...
Bryce had to make sure that Acuña was getting heckled correctly 🤣#shorts

Schumacher's vision of what eventually became Batman Begins sounded insane and I'd have liked to see it

Music biopics that are just singalongs with songs you like almost always result in Oscar attentions. Rocket Man failed because it tried to be a real movie and Deliver Me failed because it's not songs common fans like

Fraser and Rourke both fall in the same category of "Who knew this guy had that in him?!?!"

If this were pre-covid, it's the lane they would have tried to follow for The Rock, by slow-rolling Smashing Machine's release right around now, let word of mouth build, and then go wide at Christmas.

Supposedly the original cut was like four hours long, like half of which is the Battle of Scarif. It sounds insane and I really want to see it
November 24, 2025 at 8:19 PM
Well, now I am thoroughly confused!

A mattress I think

Harrison was way too try-hard and a square. He'd have ended up in one of those artsy hair bands where their fans try to explain that "Well, actually, they're elite musicians"

The best part of every conspiracy theory is they're all premised on some sort of worldwide network of elites controlling all facets of life but also are too weak and disorganized to shut down some weirdo's youtube channel and podcast where he spills the beans

If they had come of age in the '80s, I'm fairly sure that McCartney would have been in a punk band and Lennon would have been in a jam band

This is how I discovered Elvis Costello and Warren Zevon. I'd see an interview with someone from Green Day or Weezer and then immediately check out their inspirations.

I got my first email address when I was fifth grade. The amount of effort it has taken to switch over everything from an email address that a 10-year-old boy thought was funny to something I can tell people as an adult has taken years and bordering on impossible with some services

I can do one better here: He also played guitar on Tom Jones'
"It's Not Unusual" and the pianist on the song was Reg Dwight, who later adopted the stage name of Elton John

They're actually playing (or just played?) near me in Philly and I REALLY thought about going, just to see what it's like because his vibe very much is not "I play in an REM cover band," but I'm pretty sure that because of that, it would be memorable

He has this incredible skill of either being the only person playing it straight (this show) or being the only person being in on the joke (Boardwalk Empire) while being dialed up to 11 no matter what.

Reading the article created a really fun mental image of Brian Cox, Malcolm McDowell, and Stacy Keach storming the office of some random executive and that's a show I would watch

I'm like 85% sure that Michael Shannon didn't even know he was in a show. Like, I think that's just Michael Shannon
