There are so. many. Scooby Doo. movies.

We got it for my daughter. In addition to the garbage — Looney Tunes Babies, I’m looking at you — there’s a surprising amount of great stuff. Being able to have the great cartoon directors, on demand, even as they flipped between companies in the 1950s and 1960s, is pretty great.

Wait, pivot to a video is still a thing, even after Facebook admitted their video data was faked mistaken?

The fact that they have a teaser trailer suggests we’ll get a second season. A third season is definitely a coin-flip at this point, though.

That’s what I was forgetting! And yeah, I have the last season of that to watch. Looooved the first two.

This is a lot of drama over $2.

Turn on these streaming services when there’s something you want to see. HBO gets my money when Game of Thrones is on, and my wife and I then binge True Detective, Westworld, Silicon Valley, etc. Then we turn it back off.

Ditto, I have no need to watch Starz until American Gods is back,

Several of the Stagg’s flavors are decent. Nowhere near as good as homemade, but they wouldn’t be.

Why turkey chili? Does that somehow make it healthy?

Yeaaaah, this is a paper that needs more than 100 digital subscriptions to save it.

Sadly for that cub reporter, he is the secondary character destined for a gruesome death.

American journalism has done a lot of self-inflicted harm to itself, but dirt-cheap Internet advertising replacing print advertising isn’t really on them.

Pretty much every media company is growing really fast, in terms of online advertising revenue, but it just can’t keep pace with the drop-off in print revenue.

You know, Stephen, you probably have the money to buy the paper, turn it into a non-profit and insulate from having to maintain a high profit margin while it figures out its post-print advertising future.

This is great advice for anyone whose primary work product isn’t writing. At a certain point for a professional writer, you’re going to need synonyms, especially if you’re saying the same words multiple times in a paragraph or even in a sentence.

Still, this is better than all the people banging on about Oxford commas.

I had a copy of her book, but it was number 31 in our house, so ...

We donate ours to the local library. The ones they need and can stand the wear get shelved there. Others, they sell at regular book fairs to help defray their costs.

For someone who’s a fan of books, it seems like the perfect solution.

Everyone knows you save the best stuff for hotel sex.

In the words of Sam Malone, we’re just here to service the queen.

Speaking as a dude ...

It’s kind of hot.

Praying mantises are awesome. I would take a whole house of them, although I’d worry they’d all be judging me with those eyes.

Um, do different things with crunchy and smooth peanut butter?

You don’t use a single hot sauce on everything, do you? (If you do, get out and don’t come back.)

I’m hoping they throw a curveball and this movie is all about the institutional sexism that female political candidates face. Like Veep crossed with Legally Blonde.
