That trailer just makes me crave Old Dutch ketchup chips.

The Thomas Kinkade filter on all those photos hurt my eyes after the first dozen or so.

I still think they’re underrated as progenitors of Coldplay, Muse, Keane, Snow Patrol, et al. And I still can’t quite process their last studio album was 2010.

Back when live installations were a thing, a friend did a massive cymatics installation at the local city hall for New Year’s Eve:

I’ve missed these reviews and the comments, but I get that after eleven seasons of pretty consistently solid writing about a show that keeps the characters the same age and has pretty well-established character traits, it can be hard to come up with fresh takes.

I have made literally hundreds of pans of Rice Krispie squares in over a hundred variations over the years (booze-flavoured squares, Rice Krispie Square “sushi”, jello- and pudding-flavoured squares, layered bars with Rice Krispie Square bases, every candy in the aisle added to Rice Krispie Squares, even once or twice …
