I have fuzzy memories of watching Saito when I was very young. I got into his stuff a lot more in the last few years though, what a talent.

Their attorney’s attempt at making that & all of the other stuff that followed sound like some incredible coincidence of misunderstandings was some A+ lawyer cliche stuff too.

I occasionally work in publicity/marketing & we recently did a panel using teens about music stars & a ton of the kids said they liked a couple of stars noticeably lacking in any obvious talent because they made them feel like THEY could be stars too. I think this dips a bit into why reality TV stars get so insanely…

This has gotten so out of hand in recent years that it’s always going to earn this immediate reaction. Also I remember seeing a kid get booed for not throwing back a visiting team home run ball (an obnoxious “tradition” spreading like a disease) before ultimately doing so while tears poured down his face.

Still to this day the funniest (and saddest) anti-union shit I ever heard was in an orientation seminar for Verizon & the speaker clearly scanned the room for anyone older than 40 & found them & said “Unionizing just prevents you from controlling your future. We want to reward your good work with a big raise? Nope.…

Loyalty is bullshit & fans typically only buy into it when it’s being used to smear a player who left town & sometimes depending on the city, whether it was their choice or not.

They’ve been searching Disney talent’s social media & personal sites relentlessly for damning stuff since Roseanne was fired. They were bound to get someone eventually.

Someone should list a “pair of unwashed underwear worn by Papa John!” for $1,200 on eBay just to see how many minutes go by before they get the “You’ve received an instant payment from Bob Wilson!” email.

Actual exchange I vividly remember from early 2000's:

The more true things are the more people get angry when someone points them out.

To me it’s like asking which is a better path to becoming insanely rich, winning the lottery or collecting loose change across the country as an every day commitment for a significant portion of your life.

I definitely like how it isn’t just trying to be a slightly different version of something successful (i.e Dimension 404 which tried to be Black Mirror, Twilight Zone & The Outer Limits at the same time) hoping to snag a cheap viral hit. I’m at least entertained so far. Bobcat’s really well liked in the industry so if…

All I can figure is some 60s-90s corporation that made outrageous shoulder pads invested heavily in any production about the future.

The only reason I can’t call America a toilet is because toilet paper doesn’t cost $50 ($75 if you’re using a credit card) a square yet.

I’m at the point with TV horror where it’s either 1 episode anthology or GTFO. Most writers, no matter how good they are, can’t seem to stretch this stuff out without it getting boring & repetitive or turning into something you’d see on CW.

Smart too. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve heard someone say some shit like “He’s got a lot of money so I’m sure he’s smart enough to do this”. Often contradicting another recent comment like “Just because they have money they think they know everything!” from someone they disagree with.

This definitely explains why he’s spent the last 20 years living every local business owner’s wettest dream. He’ll mostly be pissed he never got to film the commercial where he passes the torch to his sons. No doubt featuring a contractually obligated Peyton Manning making a terrible joke about having to play center…

You gotta hand it to DC. Almost always with their fingers firmly on the pulse of a world that is not the one they operate in.

I’m gonna try to get some of that sweet Walmart money & pitch “Everything Peaked In The 1960s”.

I can die now.
