The New York Times?!? Those East-Coast liberals are gonna choose cityfolk answers like “SQUAD” and “PANTS”!

If it makes you feel better, Hesseman hated it too!

I love that some dude can slap together a fun little game to make his girlfriend happy and then make a million bucks from it. I hate that in another couple of months it’ll be behind a paywall. :(

Good for the creator, but this sucks. Wordle seemed like some part of the Old Internet had reemerged to delight people with a mildly frustrating fun word game. It’s going to suck when this goes behind a paywall. 

A frequent trope of those shows was a citizen who is absolutely dead wrong about everything and extremely vocal about it, who then gets their comeuppance and comes back to the heroes to apologize and say thank you. That's a really specific fetish that I think a lot of cops share.

It was absolutely not a parody. Webb created Adam-12 and Emergency! as well, and they're all of a piece.  All white casts of first responders who never make a mistake and who treat the general public like slow children. 

I went to his IMDB page where I found this nugget:

I know this is going to seem unbelievable, but growing up I thought Johnny Fever was the coolest person who had ever lived and ever would. He the perfect combination of burned-out sarcastic but passionate and energetic about rock and roll. The way he was always utterly professional reading the radio promos, then…

Loved him in WKRP. Rest in peace.

The “new” Dragnet in the 60s was just a lengthy, thinly-veiled screed from squaresville Jack Webb at the entire counterculture.

RIP!

That’s because it’s working. 

I’m mildly outraged but banning a book in 2022 seems so retro 90s it’s almost quaint. 

I think it is disingenous to lay this all on the feet of men. In fact, I would venture to say that women are significantly more likely to perpetuate the mandate that the man has to be taller.

Lmao yep

...the audience’s face, apparently.

Che’s ‘stand-up’ can’t even be called comedy. She’s more like a self-help guru, or motivational speaker. She just yells self-congratulatory statements and toxic-positivity platitudes like “If you don’t like your life, change it!” Which apparently blows Miranda’s mind because she never knew such a thing was possible…

They should have made her more like the actor and had Miranda lose a bid for political office. 

Miranda’s story arc is pretty much The Cynthia Nixon story.

Isn’t there anyone who knows what mental health is all about!?
