GLOW is good but not that good, I think when the new appeal of a show about 80s women wrestling wore off, so did their viewership numbers. I think I’ve met one other person who’s mentioned it in real life. A lot of the characters are forgettable too

Won’t be James Corden, ABC would be too wary about giving that big of a platform to a Kimmel competitor (they aren’t on at the same time, but essentially are still competing for the same audience). I think he is the most sensible choice, though.

Jimmy Kimmel’s salary seems more the result of him already working for…

Yeah, but at the same time, all the other methods of evaluating candidates aren’t that great. If you got two candidates for a reporter position at Jezebel who have graduated from a prestigious college, worked for a while at some digital news site, each have different voices in writing but are arguably equally as…

I saw them open for Kiss. Sure, they were technically “co-headliners,” but everyone there was there to see Kiss, and everyone knew that we had to get through Motley Crue before that happened.

except when it does, like goodfellas

Private schools don’t have to be accredited. Parents saw the success stories as evidence enough that the school was supposedly legit.

I read somewhere else that TM Landry didn’t accept any government aid or subsidies or anything at any point, while other private schools can or do. This is probably because they’d be…

They also frequently open for other somewhat larger 70s/80s bands, saw them with KISS, then maybe with Poison or Guns and Roses or something? But it’s easy to see them alongside another band you want to see more. Motley is still great though, fun show all around. 

What’s more infuriating to me is the additional praise that other media outlets lavish onto Alexander without doing due diligence themselves. It would take NPR a few hours, if that, to research Stanich’s background and find that information out for themselves. Or to just question Stanich’s bizarre claim of “we were so…

So many food critics writing about Denver said the Cherry Cricket had the best burger in the city, but honestly it’s just not that good! It’s like they picked a random restaurant that had a good SEO ranking and didn’t bother to really search. 

Yep. In Denver, there’s a place called the Bagel Deli that Guy Fieri visited once on his diners, drive-ins and ives show. It used to just be a normal restaurant visited by members of the jewish community, nothing special. But after that episode, the place blew up. They have signage noting where Fieri sat, have the…

At UT, there are the public dorms (your conventional ones on campus) which are run by UT and have to subscribe to those particular rules and standards, things like no discriminatory polices, respecting someone’s faith/sexual background, etc.
