They’re really weird about it.

Unrelated, but I love that the title of the album is referencing an actual, real tunnel under Ocean Blvd in Long Beach CA.

Ah. The famous “I fucked around and suddenly my money got threatened so I pretended to be sorry”.

I’ll be honest, the Women’s Soccer Finals in the Olympics sold me on the superiority of the women’s ‘game’ over the men’s.

Wikipedia editors get really intense.

I’m guessing next week the rest of the crew finds out. Laszlo is NOT going to be able to keep vampire sunscreen secret at all.

Yeah, but now there are agreed upon levels of pay for that work.

Cruel, but fair.

It unfortunately covers too much territory to be useful.

Distinction between “confusing” and “complex” or “ambiguous” please.

Band I’m in used to have a bit where our lead would go out, interrupt the call, turn it into a ‘seriously, why did you pay money to be here if this is what you’re doing’ moment.

These were also ‘influencers’ trying to create content for their own profit by disrupting the show. This isn’t just fans being shamed by a mean ol’ country singer.

I’d say “shove a stick in it and serve” predates the Iowa State Fair by a considerable margin. I’d go even further to say that “shove a stick” would be the generic ‘signature’ food style of any event of this nature, not just Iowa.

You DO get to decide whether someone takes what you’ve created and monetizes it for themselves without permission.

Also consider they were not there as “fans”. The incident in question happened because of their self-described work as “influencers”.

Given the length of time they were doing it and the (from what I’ve been seeing/reading from other sources) the fairly disruptive way in which they did it, I can see Lambert getting steamed over it. She’s trying to do her job, and these women decided they wanted to do theirs as ‘influencers’ on the back of hers during…

Well, here’s hoping a nostalgia based ad campaign for an extremely niche example of early “viral internet phenomena” does what they expect it to do, though I may have my doubts.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a useful tool (otherwise it wouldn’t have the market penetration it does in restaurants). You can grill, do low temperature pan work, whole lot of different stuff.

The griddle’s basically what you’d be working with in your standard fast food kitchen scaled down to a backyard size, then?

Gollum seemed to be made with the best intentions that just completely failed to materialize - in that case, I can see an argument that no amount of good press could counter the collapse that was apparently already underway.
