Fun facts about the Detroit River (I bartended a tour boat there):

This review further solidifies my opinion that Pete Davidson’s career relies 95% on pity.

I still don’t get what people see in Pete Davidson. But I’ve admittedly seen very little of his work. Does anyone have a sketch or stand-up clip of his that they’ve seen and found funny that they could recommend?

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! was released the same year as the Watts riots.

The Stonewall Riots happened the same year that the Brady Bunch premiered.

They choose that launch site for a reason — nothing makes you want to leave the planet faster than having to spend time in Florida.

Exactly. And the whole idea of manned space travel isn’t really that hard. They could do it in the 1960s for crying out loud — and way further than this thing can go to boot. Things like immunotherapy for cancer, now that’s exciting. We may soon be in a future where dying of cancer is a bizarre relic of the past like

I don’t know why we chose Elon Musk over Andy Griffith.

He was also Admiral Paris on Voyager, which is what I most remember him from (apart from Seinfeld). The guy was great at projecting gravitas and authority.

the Klingon L’Kor on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

It’s the Ship of Theseus, except the ship is Journey and the mystery is why anybody cares.

Is she still complaining about supposedly being mistreated? I was under the impression that the “abuse” from critics had mostly stopped about a decade ago after her first album, and has since shifted to overpraising her work, like if she were the second coming of Joan Fucking Baez.

Christ, the kids were dumb as rocks and hated the thought of going to college. It was all for naught even if they hadn’t been caught.

Here’s my solution: colleges already sort of have a pay to play system in place. People make donations, fund scholarships, etc, etc, and their kids get in as legacies or what have you.
