“We wouldn’t do the product that Cadillac is showing [Lyriq]. We wouldn’t do it. Nothing against them, it just doesn’t fit our brand. It’s not far enough. We want a car that gets recalled at least 50 or 60 times. And BAD recalls, like fire and failed braking and roofs that collapse and stuff like that. We’re Ford…

He sure has become a sassy little thing in recent months. 

To the dev:

What does her being married have to do with anything? Hasn’t she been dogged by rumors of bisexuality for years now? Honestly I find her comments to be kind of vague, so I don’t feel comfortable ascribing such a direct implication onto them. It feels more to me like she’s just saying that the goal should be to make…

how has a straight woman grown so in-demand as a vessel for complex, queer characters?

Melissa Villasenor wasn’t a shock, given how vocal she was about not getting airtime last summer. Maybe she made enough money off those JC Penney commercials that she feels comfortable moving on. Alex Moffat is a funny guy, but he seems destined to play generic 4th lead in a few movies, then do a sitcom that flops.

Not surprised Melissa Villaseñor is leaving, she was bizarrely underused but it’s been a crowded cast. Mmaybe she’ll find her own path post-SNL, like Jenny Slate has. Sometimes it’s just no the right fit.

So from what I’ve seen the last few seasons Strong is once again going to have to carry the show?

In news tangentially related to SNL, Sarah Palin lost Alaska’s congressional election.

Are standing ovations ableist? Can that be a hot take?

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, for instance, prompted the audience to “[roar] on for a continuous eight minutes”

At what point did film festival audience applause become the equivalent of Party Congress meetings during the Stalinist era?

I love to pretend this show and Fleabag are in the same universe, and this is what Stath is up to when he isn’t making awkward conversation on the bus with Waller-Bridge’s character.

Her pop singer/dancer ambitions in SLF are hilarious, a-dork-able (I know, I hate that word to, but it fits) and kinda sweet. The two roles are a good way to see an actor at work, approaching each role with a clear idea of who the person is.

This isn’t a knock on festival culture.

Its a transition.... calm down

I also work in the power industry here in San Diego. The grid is fine, we will need more transmission to be built for more renewables and batteries, but California’s electric sector planning, particularly the resource adequacy program has lagged behind the renewable build out since 2015 that many gas resources were…

Maybe if grids fucking installed peak load batteries and also encouraged people to install batteries in their home, they wouldn’t have to... deal with peak loading and having so much excess power generation in the rest of the day.

There was a Nissan dealer near me that kept ripping off a mentally impaired guy that won the lottery. He would trade in his brand new cars about once every couple weeks, and they would maybe give him $2k for his like new vehicle.  Then they charged him high fees and bogus charges.
