Slugworth agrees.

Also, piling food on top of other food is a long American tradition.

She seems Stable......(enough for reality TV) Hoppy Easter!!

“Yes, like she’s a baby. And who are we to deny this grown woman her harmless albeit totally bonkers soothing mechanism? We are no one, I say, as my worldview has once again been shaken by a cast member of Vanderpump Rules. Besides, in these scary times, don’t we all have a bubba? Mine, for example, is this perfect…

This sucks for her, but it’s an illustration of something I think a lot of people don’t realize: There is no practical way of protecting recipes beyond keeping the ingredients/preparation process a secret. Neither trademark nor copyright law apply to recipes as recipes. While it is technically possible to patent a…

We had an au pair for one year while my family was living abroad. She was only about 10-15 years younger than my parents, but my mom says it felt like having a teenage kid in the house. She would stay out all night and we had to pry her out of bed in the morning. I’m not sure it saved mom very much labor! I…

I have a friend who worked as an au pair in Spain for almost a year. Her host family was very inviting and she loved working with their kids and the hours were manageable enough that she had free time to have a social life. She went on family trips and got to practice her Spanish. Everything seemed great, but one…

I’d put the Chuck-Subway integration on the “good” side actually, because every fan knew their close relationship was the only thing keeping their favorite show on the air. The final episode has a Subway plug just because, out of gratitude.

I tend to stumble in from the pub and find RLM stuff waiting for me, now.

My wife and I have a tradition, Youtube Tuesday. It’s when Honest Trailers and Fail Army release stuff. It used to include After Hours, Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder, etc. from Cracked. That is a gaping wound in our Tuesday entertainment from Youtube.

I thought vox shorts were popular with skater crews in the the early 90's?

This might be TMI but I sort of look at it when I hit the toilet in the morning and that’s about it.

This gets my vote. I didn’t Bing this video.

Cool! Except I hate Cracked now for killing their Youtube side of things. At least Cody Johnston is still doing his angry news recaps/ rants.

Vox has a really good primer about why the RP1 backlash happened. The AV Club wasn’t alone back in 2011 when the book came out in extoling its geek nostalgia. But then GamerGate ruined everything (just as it helped do the 2016 election): https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/3/26/17148350/ready-player-one-book-backlash-cont…

My ‘favorite’ car-based product placement is from way before that - way back in Smallville, there was a scene where Chloe says to Superman “let’s take my Yaris, it’ll be faster.” I was so shocked by the stupidity that I still remember it, 15 years later.

Read this in Cracked today:

I think a lot of more modern Japanese animation/games/etc. features real life brands, or at least influenced by them.

The complete list of times when it’s appropriate for a white person to use the N-Word:

One of the worst, probably the worst, thing about rap running over everything in its wake is that there are now legions of racist trash who consider themselves serious fans. You don’t have to be black to make or appreciate rap, but it is unequivocally black music. I’ve read that it’s a big issue in the Euro rap scene…
