Multiple things can be true here:

Something-something Mandela Effect, but I watched the original and have no memory of Chris Hardwick being involved. In my head, I transplanted Carson Daly here for some reason, I guess because of the MTV-ness of it all?

Yahya may be “doing fine,” but if he’s going to hang around past S1, I hope he does get more money from HBO, given how significant his role is. Then he can be doing more fine.

We still have the actual Widow press tour to go through, plus the upcoming awards season that Marriage Story will likely be a part of, so still plenty of time to drive this bus into a ditch, but I imagine Disney has to be plenty relieved that ScarJo’s made it this far during a press tour for Marriage Story without…

As much as Arya’s moment was a huge fist-pumper for me, I’d totally take a “Eps 4-6 were a daydream in Jon Snow’s head, moments before everyone was killed by the Night King and his army of the dead, as the Long Night spread across the world” ending.

Goddamn right. Their show in its two incarnations has been the one of the only late night shows I’ve consistently watched the past couple years, and with Busy and Robin Thede’s shows gone, the only one I watch now (I’ll check in on the Daily Show every now and then).

I’m sure he’ll be back, not just in She-Hulk, but at least in a cameo in a film down the road. While I don’t expect future writers and directors will lean into engineering crowd pop-type moments at the expense of whatever they want to do with these various characters, I’m sure Marvel will be hiring people creative…

St. Vincent! I’m glad this list went with Strange Mercy, as I prefer that more than the self-titled album but I assume most lists go with self-titled (or go with it higher, for those that use multiple Annie albums) because that was the one that one a Grammy. I dug Masseduction a bunch too, but I know that album’s been…

How concerned (or amused, I suppose) should people be about next season and beyond, at least about the players currently on the roster? I mean:

I think it’s less “finding out if Steve Kerr’s actually good” and more “finding out Steve Kerr isn’t the sorcerer he would get talked up as, and instead just a competent-to-solid coach smart enough to recognize talent and not get in the way of it.” This also makes Mark Jackson look bad again, so I’m all for that.

I’m a Dodger fan and don’t want to lose Joe Davis to national-only broadcasts, but I’d also much rather listen to him for national games, especially in the playoffs, than Joe Buck.

I’m a Dodger fan, and felt terrible for Yu seeing his World Series against Houston go so badly, how terrible he felt, and how much shit he took from other Dodger fans. He seems like a charming dude, with that hilarious jab as an example, and I really hope somewhere along the line he gets another chance to shine in the…

If there really were anonymous Astros employees supposedly aghast at the Roberto Osuna acquisition last year, as I’ve seen mentioned in a few articles going over all this, now would be a really good fucking time to anonymously out whoever it was that wrote that trash statement claiming Stephanie Apstein made all this…

So you’re telling me Chris Herndon returning won’t make this offense unstoppable?

So will the energy writers have put forward analyzing the status of the balls used in games also be applied to everything else owners and MLB have been doing (wrecking free agency, not spending money/tanking, manipulating service time, not sharing player data with players) and calling them on their shit? Or will most…

I can’t help but giggle every time I realize the Dolphins stadium is named after the Hard Rock chain. It’s like if a stadium were named after Planet Hollywood or Rainforest Cafe for me.

Are the Bolts counting on gaining fans in LA by inevitably attracting the usual bandwagoners in the area after great success, a la the ‘02 Angels (I’ve lived in SoCal my entire life and never met an Angel fan before the ‘02 playoffs, then they win a title and suddenly they’re fucking everywhere; there’s still some…

This reminds me of St. Vincent’s Big Gay Disco (or Fast Slow Disco, as people insist on calling it) video that she shot last year.

The Kofi thing still pisses me off. I expected he’d lose (barring the unexpected of Velazquez simply distracting Lesnar and causing a loss, allowing them to spin off Lesnar into that feud without involving the title), but the how was, yeah, bullshit. I have no interest in checking out Smackdown at this point. That…

I immediately thought of Yu Darvish when I heard about this. I don’t mind sign-stealing and never understood the kerfuffles over that, and pitch tipping isn’t even that anyways, so this doesn’t bother me, but it’s confounding, hilarious, and frustrating that the Astros got to benefit from this in three crucial games…
