I am fully aware that it makes me sound like a ponce (and someone who applied to their school a)early and b)a decade ago, when acceptance rates were triple what they are now) but I had the same-ish reaction. I didn’t think USC was a state school, but even so, I thought 500k? For that? Like at least get a top 20 for…

Yeah, it’s out of date. USC used to be everyone’s fall-back school. Some time in the late-’90s to early ’00s things suddenly shifted in a big way. It’s now much, much harder to get into than it was 25 years ago.

Wayne’s World is a perfect movie. Every scene is funny and full of random flourishes (multiple endings), cinematic devices (focus pulls) and vignettes (Garth drum solo) that is clearly the work of an incredible director. There’s a reason why the sequel wasn’t nearly as good. 

Disappointing lack of stories about what a prima donna Mike Myers was.

so I have outlined all the stages we need

Somebody tell Sam Rockwell it’s time to suit up.

Toyota is one of the few I would trust for space cars. Some other brands, not so much.

Great. One Camry on the moon and it’s already in the left lane holding up traffic. 

I guess Toyota is taking their Space Cruiser nameplate quite literally these days:

They did after they realize the type of person to name their show SMILF is the type of person who would come up with this an it’s a garbage person from BAHSTON.

and separated writers on the show by race.

They should have canceled SMILF for being called SMILF.

This was definitely one of those shows where “critics loved it” but I never heard of it outside those circles. I’m sure the first season did okay, regardless.

Yeah, when I saw she was in her first year at a top MATH PhD program, I wondered about this...sounds like she was immensely talented, and it takes a very high achiever to accomplish what she did by the age of 23. PhD programs can really exacerbate existing mental health issues, especially in the first year, when…

Such a loss, and so sad. From this SF Gate story, it seems like she was so good at so many things:

I was all ready to say something snarky in the comments until I saw that the dude is a Vietnam vet and the restaurant is his comfort and now I’m like “man, whatever gets you through.”

Yeah, I think I just realized that about myself, too.

It’s like if 2002 Maddox stripped away any semblance of irony and 2005 Simmons maxed out the Sports Bro persona to run a sports blog together in 2019.

I’m such a Deadspin fanboy that I hate Barstool Sports despite the fact that I’ve never visited their site.
