Six Feet Under had a pretty spectacular final episode (or at least final five minutes). 

Off the top of my head, I think there’s a pretty good chance Jackie Robinson stealing home in the World Series gets overturned.

Also, a mint plant is like three bucks at your local garden store. No need to spend $15 for some weird online herb pack. Put that plant in a pot in your yard, water it on occasion (mint, as you note, is hard to kill even if you want to kill it), and by midsummer you’ll have more mint than you could possibly need.

It inspired one of the greatest tifo displays in American soccer history, for whatever that’s worth:

It’s not really even “screwing scalpers” so much as “getting their cut of scalpers,” since if you’re a season ticket holder and want to sell your tickets, you basically now have to do it through their software wherein they take a percentage out of tickets they have already sold once. 

When they find out that someone did a reboot of the kids from Talladega Nights but with chicks, Reddit is gonna be pissed.

If you took that group photo and turned a dial that made everyone 25 percent more conventionally attractive, it would indistinguishable from a picture of people going to Fyre Festival. So yeah, I think you’re onto something.

Yep. I only go to tabletop gaming conventions, where cosplay isn’t as big a deal as it is at some other kinds of conventions, but I’ve always found that the people who are so into D&D or whatever that they put together their own homemade elf ranger costume to wear while they play D&D are pretty cool, while the preening…

Huh. In percentage terms, Blake Snell is getting less of a raise this year than I am. Blake Snell is much, much better at his job than I am.  

It’s weird--I initially thought of Beto as a no-chance candidate, but with the way the far left is freaking out about the guy, I guess I have to take him seriously.

I kinda thought they’d bring back Green Day—that performance was kind of charmingly insane, as opposed to the ugliness of ‘99.

Dylan did show up in ‘94. It was in the middle of his “I’m going to sing all the words in this line as rapidly as possible even though the band is playing the song at its normal tempo” phase.

She makes the Fyre people look like damn saints. Bamboozling some doofuses out of a few thousand dollars apiece is a lot less appalling than knowingly botching STD tests. I just wish she had convinced Kissinger to go blow somebody.

I’m open to the idea that Bojack Horseman is a top 100 show of all time, although I’d certainly have it closer to 100 than 1. It’s definitely the only Netflix show I’ve seen where the first season definitely is not the best season. Though I’m also open to the idea that I only think that because I’ve been conditioned…

Yeah, I tend toward your point of view, and broadly speaking the comments are not really grappling with the fundamental truth undergirding all of this, which is that the moments in time are few and far between when there is lot of art in a particular medium that a) connects with a mass audience, b) is respected by…

It is kind of amazing that it turns out that Kelce is the high-character guy out of the bunch.

As a professor (at a place way less fancy than USC) just let me say: the guy who is a professor should be fucking fired immediately. If a bunch of business douchebags and celebrities want to play this game that’s one thing, but if you’re actually in academia maybe pretend to have the slightest fucking bit of integrity.

I’m just looking forward to playoff games against the Browns where the Chiefs will actually be in the role of the “storied, successful” franchise.

I’d classify Jane Austen as a 19th Century novelist (she was born in the 18th C, and did a fair amount of unpublished writing, but all the big novels were published after 1810).
