Beat me to it.  

My thought exactly. Those are the Swiss army knife of cars.

What is this “Super Bowl” you speak of??

We’re supposed to get about 95% coverage in Houston but it’s so cloudy outside we won’t be able to see squat. There are little central TX towns directly under the path that are completely overrun.

So a literal empty suit.

For sure - I often learned more about a subject from the comments than the article, or was introduced to new movies, bands, etc.

IIRC the reason G/O switched to Kinja is because the owner at some point owned the IP. As long as Kinja didn’t go with the sale, which I would doubt, they should be free to choose a decently functional comment system.

I was trying to “talk” to a customer service chatbot last week and the thing was completely incoherent.  Fortunately there was an opt-out to a person button, which I did once I realized what was going on.  Utterly useless.

What’s amazing is how credulous he press is as it relates to these technologies.  The metaverse concept in particular.  Over and over there are these absurd prognostications about how everyone is going to work (or do whatever standard task) just a few years from now.  

In my industry, it’s useful as a first-draft writer. I work in finance and we write detailed memoranda describing the companies we represent that are shared with buyers/investors/lenders so we’ve tried it a few times to pull together drafts on the company’s overall industry background. It’s helpful to pull together…

Hard to not put Born to Run at 1, but I’d have The River at 2.  There aren’t too many songs I’ve heard a thousand times that still tug at my heart like that.

I’d heard her name but not her music, and was duly impressed.

I think the show itself was acknowledging that the five-timer thing isn’t really much of a big deal anymore.  When you have actors in their 30s who are already on for the fifth time it kind of loses its impact as a milestone.

And the musical guest, who seldom gets so much as a name-drop.

...which he just dropped!

Splitter!

He’s hit that level of celebrity where he becomes paralyzed worrying about how any action or statement is going to affect his popularity.

Cena and Bautista both embraced the goofiness that is inherent to wrestling.  Meanwhile Rock has a “can’t lose a fight” clause in every contract.  Of everything any of them has done, Bautista in Blade Runner 2049 has been the best work. Especially when taking into account the short film associated with it.

My thought exactly. I can understand fully not deliberately alienating a big part of the moviegoing world (in whichever direction), but then he throws out that completely oblivious Wyld Stallyns bullshit and just looks foolish.

Only job I was ever fired from was a mall ice cream shop where I would give my friends nearly full scoops balanced on top if the tiny spoons.  After one such donation I saw the manager looking at me through the little window to the back and knew I was cooked.  Not good for yields, apparently.
