I think there’s plenty of 90s nostalgia—you’ve never heard millennials wax rhapsodic about how great it was to be “90s Kids”? To the extent that 90s nostalgia is underrepresented in the pop culture* I think it’s because so much 90s media is still readily available (and massively popular) on streaming. Not much point…

No, these are the swan boats in Echo Park:

I was prepared to roll my eyes at this current outrage, as I was expecting another Late Night with the Devil situation, wherein the graphics team itself used AI as a tool to generate some imagery, so it’s not as if an artist was being screwed out of a job.

“Whispers of a Snow-focused Game Of Thrones prequel first hit the Free Cities in 2022"

Counterpoint: Leslie shits all over The Cones of Dunshire. Not cool, Leslie.

I liked the Leslie/Ben and Andy/April stuff for the most part, so I’d probably extend Peak Parks and Rec a couple of seasons, but jesus does that show just dissolve into a warm puddle of goo by the end there. There’s pointless, self-indulgent victory laps, and then there’s Parks and Rec’s seventh season.

“Mark was intended to be the straight man, but they overdid it and made him boring” an asshole.

Hey, Pam had a really interesting arc of wanting to do art and then...giving up on doing art. And then I think she becomes the office manager at some point? Riveting stuff.

Ah, an attempt was made at wordplay. Got it.
