What a nightmare
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

My mind periodically boggles that, despite everything that's happened, Joe Rogan was not the worst human being to star on NewsRadio.
Poor Daryl Hannah had to be on an incredibly cursed Dinner For Five panel with Marilyn Manson and Andy Dick (and it was only dinner for four because the other guest was a no-show). If you don't think all that Me Too stuff was completely necessary take a look at this episode

Also the Me Too stuff was primarily happening in 2017-18 and Biden won the next election

The ideal speakers for listening to blink-182’s “Dammit”
My boombox's speakers are obviously not as hi-fidelity as my Bose or my earbuds, but there's something so comfortingly, nostalgically familiar about the tinny nature of the sound

No Other Choice has some of the weirdest pacing I have ever seen in a movie. Not slowest pacing, *weirdest* pacing. Park takes a very circuitous zagzag route over what is on paper a pretty straightforward story

Shouldn't it have been spelled milllennios?
New Year's nostalgia: At the end of 1999, we got this short-lived Cheerios spinoff, MILLENIOS, which let you spell "2000" out in crunchy cereal pieces. 🥳

I don't like that hot sauce has edged out bbq sauce from the national sauce conversation. Nothing beats a good barbecue sauce

The conceptual problem with Severance is that Lumon being an over-the-top evil company obscures the moral question of severance itself. Presumably there are regular non-evil companies with severed workers too! Without all the cult stuff. What’s going on at those places?

In the course of fixing the washing machine, my landlord seems to have fucked up the dryer. It turns on and pretends to go through a cycle but it does not dry anything. Thank you landlord, lord of land.

How famous was it really though? I would say 99.9% of collective knowledge about Brigitte Bardot is that she was a sex symbol and nothing else

Why is there cheese on top of it?
This is an artificial mouth created by Japanese researchers. It uses artificial vocal cords, a trachea system, and a flexible silicone mouth that moves and shapes sound in real time.
It sounds so human-like!

I wish Pluribus was not in 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Don't make me squint at a letterboxed TV show, that's for movies. I would be way more willing to strap in for the leisurely pacing if it wasn't 'boxed

A year later, this is basically the only good thing left about being online
Youtube algorithm serving genuinely cool obscure crate-digging music gotta be one of the best things about being online these days. I'm now super into this French electronic duo called Space Art that released three trippy synth albums between 1977 and 1980.
