Literally every email I send, I spend at least an extra minute sweating about whether I've included enough exclamation points so I don't sound mean or too many exclamation points so I sound insane.
thinking about how i get anxious writing emails because i don't want to sound like a moron while larry summers is apparently typing emails like this:

I read this and immediately thought “well that would actually be awesome because then Marty can go back to the 90s where he probably had a really awesome time as a teenager” and then I was like oh wait his PARENTS would have been teenagers in the 90s and then I just sat here for like 45 minutes

“Pluribus” is Vince Gilligan’s “The Leftovers.”

Betteridge’s law applies to this Guardian headline, because this is recency bias at work. The world at large has forgotten truckloads of truly terrible TV, but I bet any critic could reel off half a dozen contenders.
