I absolutely had to do a double take. 

The full context of that quote (because, fucking Newswires):

It’s crazy to think that the Venn diagram of “people who duct taped plastic to their windows because they thought a terrorist cared enough about them to include them on an anthrax hit list” and “people who won’t wear a mask or get a vaccines in order to avoid a deadly virus that doesn’t need to compile a hit list” is…

People like talking shit about Gen Z and their short videos, but considering how many of them grew up with YouTube as their television, it’s unsurprising that they’re so excited to see something that’s actually edited.

Some of the better YouTubers are very open about having to hit the arbitrary length. But, yeah, basically every “watch a thing destroy a thing” video will be at least 50% unnecessary set up, because they 1) want to hit the mid-roll requirement, and 2) want you to view the mid-roll. 

The fact that it takes 7 minutes of set up to get to an utterly boring explosion just so the video can hit YouTube’s 8-minute minimum length requirement for mid-roll ads is a perfect encapsulation of everything terrible about YouTube.

Consider yourself lucky, unless your dreams also included being diagnosed with chronic Cheeto lung.

ABC’s viewer is probably going to take this news pretty hard. 

I remember seeing her in Last King of Scotland and thinking how weird it was that she was so young when she was cast as Scully that she was just hitting her prime at (then) 38. Now I’m just confused about how fifteen years have passed and she doesn’t look like she’s aged a day. 

Ah, but Nemesis is even numbered, and arguably Exhibit #1 of why the odd/even thing is total nonsense (#2 is that Beyond is an odd number). The other odd numbered TNG film is Insurrection, which is probably underrated (at least insofar as it isn’t Generations or Nemesis). 

I’ll have to check him out after I finish going through MC Clap Yo Handz’s back catalogue. 

I was thinking of Galileo Humpkins. 

You had me at Dulé Hill.

I was re-reading Handlen’s Trek reviews and someone made the point that III is basically on a par with IV, but gets retroactively ranked down in order to fit the “even numbered Trek” thing.

Aya Cash doing her “Gretchen doing her mom voice” voice was worth the price of admission alone. 

Fosse/Verdon was great.

You’re hired!

Texas: every bit as worthless and stupid as Florida, but with less press coverage, because Nana hasn’t chosen to die there.

To #2, I don’t think it matters as much as the internet thinks it matters. It seems like the real issue is that this is the first generation of Tipper Gore’s children and Millennials seem to have internalized all of the culture wars horseshit about movies, television, and video games playing an outsized role in…

Honestly, it’s exactly the one I’d expect.
