One of my continuing problems with the show is that it really does a disservice toward its portrayal of the 1990s, both in the set design of the Pearson house and in its choice of music. (This may seem like nitpicking, but the point of the show is to depict life at specific times, so the details matter.)

Oh good, now these videos start automatically. Just press the Pause button and read this instead.

I can’t tell which is the bigger long-term power move: holding up the planned reshoots in order to secure the $1.5 million bonus, or donating the whole thing to charity in order to show Hollywood it was all about his negotiating strength.

“The old man is down the road.” - John Fogerty’s neighbors

Huh. The Spanish word for “scrimmage” is “scrimmage”.

John’s ultimate explanation about his reluctance to demonstrate his intelligence as a consequence of growing up on a colony full of blue collar-types with little patience for brainy people was interesting, but also a bit unsatisfying as a one-paragraph synopsis for an entire lifetime of self-muting behavior.

Said it last week and I’ll say it again: Jack Dorsey, co-founder and CEO of Twitter. Did he do much this year? Not really, but Twitter had a bigger year than anything in our society, with the possible exception of Mother Nature.

I’m not normally an Evangeline Lilly fan, but her casual presence in this photo transforms it from “Vanity Fair photo shoot” to “Sorority Reunion Brunch,” which is like a thousand times more interesting.

Racist beef...?

Hot take: The Buy One, Take One deal is a better single-visit deal than the Never Ending Pasta Bowl.

I was kind of confused by this story at first, because for years I was under the impression that Neal McCoy himself was part African-American. Nope — Wikipedia says he’s half-Filipino and half-Irish. He did tour with Charley Pride for most of the 1980s, though.

For this 6 Things, we’re looking at six actors and actresses pulling double duty on the big screen.

On Monday, Air Force officials admitted that Kelley’s domestic violence conviction was not entered into the federal background check database used to screen potential gun owners.

There was Jamiroquai’s Guinness World Record-breaking “Gig in the Sky” event in 2007 where he brought a bunch of fans on a Boeing 757 to set the record for the highest ever concert.

I am the opposite of the Internet. I do watch the video, and have nothing to say.

Transcribing as a public service. Of course a list of Top 5 loose cannons would have 6 entries.

1. Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are

Is there some unwritten rule that replies should talk obliquely about the video so that other people have to watch? I don’t play that.

We asked Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes, who play Betty and Veronica, to tell us five things they miss about their own hometowns, Bay Village, Ohio and Miami, Florida.
