I will comment further after the episode, but I was surprised by how emotional I was when it began; this has been a weird year.

I can’t find the actual quote. But, I remember having a good laugh when Andy moved to Naperville and still referred to himself as being a Chicagoan, one of the gang said something to the tune of “You don’t live in Chicago. You live in Naperville. That’s the “land” in Chicagoland.”
Also, the idea that one’s library has that much to say about you really tends to apply to those with a one-shelf library. True bibliophiles (or, you know, flat-out book-hoarders, which I won’t deny kind of being), will have stuff they’ve well outgrown, to-read sections that they’re ages from getting through, and full…
Is Hillary just going to spend the rest of her life passive-aggressively bitching about Donald Trump denying her ’rightful coronation’ like she wasn’t the one who managed to lose against Donald-fucking-Trump?
I am very proud of and grateful to Ocasio-Cortez for nominating Sanders, and I hope that she continues to realize many of his dreams for this country during a very long and successful career.
Matthew Weiner paid $250,000 in licensing fees to use the Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows” in an episode of Mad Men.
I loved Phineas and Ferb because of the music. The songs on the show are so catchy and fun.
I work in TV, and one of the open secrets is that “Ellen” is a terrible show to work for, both in pay and in how the show - and Ellen herself - treats the workers. There’s a website called Staff Me Up that handles a lot of freelance hires for the industry. About every other month pre-COVID you would see an ad for…
This is still the Gotham City aesthetic that I think most perfectly captures what Gotham “should” look like. All the statues of muscular men pulling levers and “glory of labor” aesthetic, but rotting down. Sort of an amalgamation of the Rust Belt cities fused with Diego Rivera and communist propaganda. What a genius…
And Collin Robinson’s “I’m not doing that” cracked me up even more
Well if she’s going to keep saying the same dumb shit, I guess I won’t try to be different either. Just going to quote myself from the other day.
I loved Doom Patrol season 1! Alan Tudyk was great, I love each of those messed up characters, and I want more Danny the Street!
9 year old me would have killed to see Robocop in theaters. It was the first time I ever remember having family tell me that “It was too violent” for kids. I was a kid of the 80s and we never heard that shit.
I’m fascinated (and a bit delighted) by how many people came to the AV Club today to defend the record and reputation of Peter III. There is certainly nothing wrong with passionately debating the merits of a long-dead Russian monarch, but I just wasn’t expecting to run into it here.
I had sex with Eartha Kitt in an airplane bathroom.
One time I was smoking a cigarette outside of my old work when a frail-looking woman with a bowl haircut and sunglasses walked past. The security guard I was talking to said to me “I should have gotten the door for her.” I said “why? She’s got fucking hands and seemed to do okay on her own.” She replied “that was Anna…
This one’s my favourite:
He’s eating as many as he can. They're lo-cal calzones, remember?
