Whoopi Goldberg is a national treasure. Between “The View” and a bunch of goofy movies, it’s easy to write her off. But the solo show on Broadway that made her a household name was a game-changer.

Weird Al tags his stuff as “parody” but it’s not the same as 2-Live Crew taking on Roy Orbison. Mr. Yankovic negotiates deals with the original artists and pays them big bucks. If they don’t agree, he won’t do the material.

It’s pretty standard practice to stage concerts that consist solely of the musical numbers from a Broadway show. Any live musical performance entails someone (typically the venue) paying musical performance rights organizations like ASCAP. But staging a show intact (with all that entails) is done at the discretion of…

I have several Western Electric phones but I don’t think the Bluetooth adapter is going to provide power...and there isn’t anything on the phone to plug into an AC outlet (the phones are DC powered anyway.) Also, analog phone lines do their own bandwidth filtering that basically cancels the frequencies that you hear…

Digital art and animation skills were rare twenty years ago. Schools started cranking out vfx courses and software companies started making it easier to learn their products with discounts and free “educational” versions. Now there are thousands of artists capable of doing the work. There’s a glut of vfx-driven films…

The only reason I ever noticed the mute switch is when I realize it’s been accidentally engaged. It’s happened a bunch of times, yet it’s not particularly easy to do intentionally.

Ugh, no. I lived in a motel for a month. Long story, but it was that or sleep in my car. The motel just sucked up all my savings. Also, ugh.

“Billy on the Street” is impossible to turn off.

“Enjoy every sandwich...”

I could not give a rat’s ass about this guy. But this wooden “hot take” really tries and fails. And calling his podcast a “catastrophe” might be prophetic but it’s a pretty scuzzy thing coming from a “journalist” who has not heard it.

Yes. Just tried it! I added mayo before I even saw it suggested. Because I add mayo to almost everything. It gives it some more body and inproves chip adhesion.

That’s the New York Comic Con.

Hit the Dollar Store if you’re looking for quick, temporary solutions. Buy everything.

I went the cheap route when I moved into my apartment with some cheap (and not all-that-cheap) Venetian blinds from Amazon. They melted. I mean that literally. They actually MELTED!

I don’t think “off book” means what you think it means.

I think they are about even. The power of TV dwarfs MCU in most households. I’m sure Tim The Tool will return in the inevitable Toy Story sequel.

Any social media “alternatives” will be just as bad if you align yourself with the same lousy people.

Oh man, does he ever. (Seriously)

Hierarchical File System?

The “tone” is hard to parse.This sort of thing happens frequently around here. Fundamentals take a backseat to the look-at-me-I’m-oh-so-clever quips.
