I think that mystery is solved by cranking up the volume during the scene.

However well intentioned, the corporate angle is a bit weird. I guess exploiting anti-racist actions to sell ice cream is better than the opposite but the sincerity is questionable.

I always thought “Blazing Saddles” was about as sharp a statement about the stupidity of racism as any comedy could ever hope to be.

How about the kosher Chinese joint in NYC called “Cho Sen”? I thought it was pretty clever.

Not sure if I want to go around defending “Turkey in the Straw” but it’s pretty well established that the melody is an old Irish tune that might predate the colonization of north America. I’m waiting for the backlash about “Jingle bells, Batman smells...”

Grilled cheese! Or any kind of melty sandwich like a Reuben benefits greatly from the weight of a brick. It’s basically a cheapo short cut for Cubano style sandwiches.

I should have been a bit more specific. I was referring to those turtle neck gaiter things. A friend who works for United told me they were told to offer passengers surgical masks to replace their gaiters. He has mentioned several problems in the past with other inconsistent directives about things like the…

Even the best and brightest who walk among us can only live so long on a diet of virgin’s blood and orphan tears. Godspeed oh great one!

For what it’s worth, certain airlines have been telling people that face coverings without ear loops are unacceptable for passengers.

The irony: “Because every hand-wringing, insecure talking head with half a platform can’t help but comment on it.”

This is a panoply of things no one knows or cares about.

“NIGGA, What??” needs to be retired.

If “everyone is getting it wrong...” then that’s on the cartoonist. I’m not sure what the intent is, it’s a bit murky. But newspaper editors are famously touchy about controversies (real or imagined). Still, it’s always been a great way to jump start a cartoonist’s career,

That’s one of those Screenplay Writing 101 rules: don’t get married to a specific song in your script or you’ll get raked over the coals. Louis CK says he got “Who Are You” for $9000 only by pestering Pete Townsend over the phone.

“Weeds” pivoted rather awkward as pot inched closer to being legal. The housewife selling weed didn’t seem so novel after the first season. A decade from now “High Maintenance” is going to seem as anachronistic as the beeper Tony Soprano clung to early on.

The correct answer is the opening audio montage that jump starts “Detroit Rock City” on “Destroyer” by KISS. Thank you for your time.

If I have to choose between superfluous programs on my Start Menu and “system instability”, I will live with the bloatware.

I think the general public is well aware that a worldwide viral pandemic has delayed the release of the forthcoming James Bond film you are referring to. It was widely covered in the media. I don’t think anyone thought the film was “imaginary.”

It would be awkward if you walked away and left me sitting alone in your office.

This. TV production is pretty dog-eat-dog. There is always a surfeit of shitty people with more ambition than talent. Everybody’s always surprised when the happy-clappy talent acts different in the office than they do on screen. And always drama. That’s show biz!
