You will never convince me that “Island in the Sun” wasn’t deliberately engineered to be the ideal song for playing in Banana Republics.

On the one hand, yes, don’t just watch the music video and call it a day. On the other hand, “Go Away” is one of the most balls-out amazing videos of all time.

Eh, this doesn’t sound as good as my project for a show based on “Crank That (Soulja Boy)“. It’s about a guy going around cranking things--wells, those big manual pencil sharpeners, old timey cars, etc.

He was sciencesplaining.

On a related note, thank god “You Must Remember This” is finally back. 

On the same night Simone Biles was putting on this unbelievable display of strength, grace, and athleticism, I managed to trip over my dog, the couch, and my dog again. 

You don’t even have six figures of student loan debt? How’s that associate’s degree working out?

It sounds like they knew wendigo.

I think the issue (giving NPH the benefit of the doubt and assuming that he genuinely didn’t know who Rachel Bloom was) is that she was doing the backstage hosting at the Tony awards, so she’s clearly somebody; they’re not going to give that gig to some rando off the street. As she pointed out, if he had no idea who…

Man, now I kind of wish I had actually gone to my piano lessons when I was a kid, instead of ditching them to play video games.

A perfect illustration of the importance of proper comma use.

“Hey Tommy, we need some more...”

Fair point, my response was more to the general idea that a landlord has the right to let the cops into your apartment without a warrant. You’re right though, in this particular instance exigent circumstances might have applied (crim law isn’t remotely my area of practice, so I’ll admit to not being able to parse out…

That’s a fairly common misconception, but a landlord isn’t allowed to let the cops into someone’s apartment without a warrant (absent special circumstances such as an emergency). He may have felt that he was obligated to let the officer enter, but he really wasn’t.

Why would anyone want to gamble on sports when they could visit a screen door factory?

Part of the appeal of the original run of “Roseanne”, and a big part of the reason my family watched it when I was growing up, is that it was genuinely well-written, thoughtful, and intelligent at a time when very little television was. But while I admittedly haven’t seen any of the new season, by all accounts (and…

I just wanted to stand on land.

Going directly to the front of the line while the hoi polloi stand there fuming is the best part of using a mobile order app. I like to give them a jaunty little wave goodbye as I saunter away.

I’m friends with this guy (humblebrag!), and he is an amazing artist. He has an uncanny ability to talk people into letting him do things for his photos that would get the rest of us thrown in jail. I highly recommend following his Instagram.

Is liking anime really still seen as uncool, though? There are a fair number of celebrities who are into it, and at least superficial elements of the culture are pretty widespread. Being in full-on weeb territory might still get you some raised eyebrows, but it seems to me like simply being into anime at all equaling…
