I'm watching one of the "Riker doesn't become captain" episodes of Star Trek: TNG and although Frakes is a baby boomer, in spirit he was the first true Gen X (non) captain. Like please, keep that title away from me! Do not ask me to manage anyone but myself

I get over annoyed that Starbucks now advertises putting "real pumpkin" in its pumpkin spice latte because it caved to some influencer who complained about it a few years ago, apparently ignorant of the existence of pumpkin pie spice (pumpkin not included, obvi). Don't put squash in my coffee omg

This is the joke reference only I get when I say it, but every time I say "I'm on my way," it is in the cadence of Homer answering a Wheel of Fortune clue instead of listening to/ answering Marge, who has told him to pick up Bart. (Bart does not get picked up.)
what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

I absolutely love "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty,' the time-traveling, cooking, royal Jeoson court K-drama. It has Game of Thrones-style brutality and scheming, but always in the back of its mind the question: "Could this be solved by a cooking competition?"

J.P. Brammer, whose name my Swedish autocorrect keeps trying to change to Bränner, might be our best contemporary essayist. He is definitely my favorite, and this piece is superb!

My god, I was not expecting SO MUCH to happen in the #Foundation season finale. Certain dramatic events have transpired, indeed! So glad there's a season 4 to come.

Hotels, we need to talk about not inflicting motion smoothing on your guests. What kind of hospitality is that, making everything look like a soap opera?

I am sad that Resident Alien is over. It was funny, but also a show with such a good heart and it feels like nothing has a good heart anymore. That's some bull... #residentalien
