I probably posted this too fast, before fully thinking it through, but 3, 7, and 9 are unquestionably the ones I stand behind.

I have never heard of “angular” music as a genre. What is it like? (Also, I love this exercise and have been thinking about it ever since I saw your post).

Octonauts, Sara and Duck, Puffin Rock, Bluey, and Storybots. Everything else is hit or miss at best and unwatchable at worst.

Half of me agrees, but the other half progressively loves her episodes more as I age. She is who she is more than any other ST character, a fact I did not appreciate in my teens, 20s, or 30s. Some writers did seem to want to make her the butt of the joke, but she was able to transcend.

Also. Seen this film multiple times and still sob through the whole final 30 min (from Mal getting shot on).

Absolutely. Ebert’s greatest gift was that he reviewed the movie the filmmakers tried to make, not the one the reviewer wanted them to make.

You are not gonna believe this, but a student came in wearing a Figure 8 shirt first class this morning. Total Baader–Meinhof moment.

You never struck me as an XO kind of person.

Huh! Really interesting and cool! I was fascinated by Rodrigo since I first heard her on Natalie Hopper's "So Austin does not turn to dust" playlist, designed to catch me up on newer artists a few years back. She sounded so straight out of the 90s and 00s. Did not know any of the rest of this.

I love these soccer updates. In particular, I love how deep it cuts that, once you say "almost" in a post, I know your team lost. Those "almosts" only really stick in the craw when you lose (or, occasionally in blowouts when you want to get deep in your feelings of insufficiency).

Underrated powerhouse. Can also double as a quick breakfast on days where you just can’t.

Who came up with ICE guy?
Degraded guy, ICE guy.

1. Very glad to hear this. 2. If he does this, he will be cementing a really odd little political career, running for state offices but only on off-presidential years while Trump is in office an wildly unpopular. Makes sense in a super red state, but funny nonetheless.

Wow. That is grade A bullshit. Not been since it reopened, and I guess that is not changing.
