That bit about how one episode was pulled for criticizing Saudi Arabia may hint at a different, related problem — while the episodes were written largely from a U.S. perspective, he did spend a lot of time criticizing foreign governments (particularly autocratic ones) who are contributing to American problems or…

When I clicked on this article I assumed it was about Black Beatles.

I became suspicious when her two weekends at Coachella the power mysteriously went out, and she just happened to have her flute at the ready just in case something like that happened.

We all lie in the bed we make, but sometimes that bed is a road. And so instead we end up walking where we sleep. But if we don’t like where we are going, its time to have a different dream. For Ellen, its time for her to wake up, into a new dream, where she can lie down, and walk her own path.

We went through all the data entry fields we could think of and then went after machine-calculated things like age of people and age of products, and fixed all the scheduling calendars we could find . On the night of Y2K, we stayed at work past midnight, desperately trying to stay awake and thoroughly annoyed that…

I remember everybody talking about this Big Brother phenomenon sweeping the world, and how when it reached the US, well, WATCH OUT, man! There was going to be on-camera hookups and shit that American TV just couldn’t handle. Then, some horrible middle-American PTA mom type in the first season’s cast just pounced on…

I worked on that first season as a logger / online vision mixer, and it was undoubtedly the best summer of my life, at first no one knew if anyone would watch such a thing and then it exploded, and I couldn’t go anywhere without hearing people talking about it. It was a huge amount of fun behind the scenes too as we…

I was working as a tech support guy for Dell back then , and since the whole thing was being sold as a ‘social experiment ‘ rather than the gaudy specticle it became , it was streamed live online 24/7 .When I worked lateshifts , quite often someone would leave it streaming in the background , which would be confusing…

People, in their twenties, who cannot get over that things happened twenty years ago.

WWE (then WWF) had its best year in 2000: the rise of The Rock; Triple H in his prime; the strange sexual chemistry between Chris Jericho and Stephanie McMahon; Kurt Angle; American Badass Undertaker; Kane and his awesome new outfit; Rikishi getting over by rubbing his ass on people’s faces; The Radicalz jumping…

Come on... there can be only one answer to this question for so so SO many reasons... try to find all of them in this video:

The monocle popping around this song is bizarre to me. I want to ask the people who think this is a new level of filth flarn filth where they were when “Oochie Wally Wally” came out, and I want to ask the people who think it’s some kind of breakthrough in feminist sexuality where they were when Lil Kim was around.

I kind of love super-white covers of rap songs, although I’m aware I should probably hate myself for doing so.

Well Covid-19 did jump cross-species... and this film...

well it would have changed the game but they totally undermined it

I also hate movies that are good.

‘99 was the year I really became a film buff, but ‘00 was the year I graduated college, moved to Boston, and had numerous theaters at my disposal. I remember seeing Crouching Tiger and State and Main a few days apart at the Kendall, and I remember taking in Almost Famous and O Brother on Friday nights at the…

I was ready to raise a fuss about the lack of “In the Mood for Love” until I went back and re-read the release date criteria (between that, “Spirited Away”, “Mulholland Drive”, “Memento”, “Fellowship of the Ring”, and “Amelie”, 2001 was a great year for movies).

Okay, rapist.
