“The company reported it had seen a drop of $176 million in YouTube ad revenue compared to the same time last year.”

Hope springs eternal, then. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll have an age appropriate cast. 

Count me among those who has to modify the pomodoros to get work done. At first I thought the technique just wasn’t for me. Now I know that I just needed to tweak the system. The 25 minutes of uninterrupted work wasn’t enough. My ideal pomodoro is 45 minutes of work with a 15 minute break after. Once I do three of…

In only slight defense of these women (because I also wouldn’t have done what they did), they’re not in the front row. You can see people’s heads behind them. If the setup venue’s is anything like other shows in Vegas I’ve been to, they’re standing in front of a row of banquettes for booth seating. So they’re probably…

This. I’m looking at a car right now is a compact hatchback. But I really am only interested in the base model or maybe one step up. There are 8 total within a 150 mile radius. I’ll be damned if I’m going to shell out $5,000+ more to buy one of the premium models that seem to be in much better supply.

“Succession Cheerio Power Ranking: How did your favorite cheerio fare this week?”

“You don’t need a lot of money to create one, either.”

Especially in season 2. 

Exactly. You don’t do all that work to look not 70 if you’re expecting your partner to look 70. I almost can’t wait to see what kind of shit show this becomes.

I had a very Parks and Recreation moment when I read Gary instead of Gerry. Or Gerry instead of Gary. 

My hope is they would make the dating pool women 55+. But I know, deep down, that they will dip into the 40s. For sure. Maybe not 30s. But definitely 40s.

Another example is Black Bird, which snagged three nominations despite little critical fanfare. The three nominations are well-earned, too (I would love to see Paul Walter Hauser win for supporting actor in a limited series, but he likely won’t).

That’s...a completely fair point. There is something ironic about AV Club ignoring many of these shows and then complaining that an organization that generally looks to the press to determine trends/tastes doesn’t give enough attention to shows that they themselves ignored. 

I agree about limiting the nominations per show. Let’s be real: Very few shows have more than one lead actor, let alone three. If you really, critically look at this season of Succession, the only real choices for lead actor are Culkin and Strong. Brian Cox is great, but his character (really old spoiler alert) died…

Yeah, I would say that their methodology is crap, but it seems like there was no methodology at all. I mean, one of the very few redeeming things about living in Ohio is that we’ve generally got very good water (at least if you live somewhere that draws their municipal water from Lake Erie). The tap water here in NE…

Thanks. For me, the main benefit is that it’s quiet in the chapels/meditation rooms. Airports are so overwhelming with all the constant noise, so just having a place where you won’t hear 5,000 gate change announcements and passenger pages is a huge plus.

I’ve been! It is nice. 

If I’ve got a long layover, I often seek out the airport’s interfaith chapel or meditation room (or whatever non-specific term they’re calling it these days). I’m not religious, but I find the space is very good for one’s mental health when traveling. Those places are at least quiet, and are usually empty. Totally…

I love that he linked to his own article that got dunked on just a week ago as proof of his point. 

Replying to second this. It’s a scam. Maybe not legally, but in practice. They make it very difficult to redeem, and it’s not a gift card so much as a discount once you spend a certain amount of money at a restaurant. We got lured in by it one time, and learned our lesson.
