If there’s one thing I know, it’s that the more you describe a comedy sketch that you can’t watch because it’s on a paid service, the funnier it gets.

“Let’s describe a comedy sketch” is a bold new article strategy. Half the time I try to describe/retell a standup joke to someone I just give up halfway through - never going to be as funny as the real thing.

It’s been out for like 3 hours, how am I supposed to have the context for this article? People have jobs.

This logotype especially screams, “Get 4 t-shirts for $12” on Hollywood Blvd.

I’m pretty sure that is the entire point of a city logo ?
I’d assume there is a few million people from around the world that owns I <3 NY shirts. Emulating that massive success is kinda like 100% the point of a city logo ^^

Also, news outlets fuckin’ looooooove to be, like, “This logo is so simple did it really take a fancy-pants designer to come up with? And the client paid how much?” while ignoring that the design brief and fee usually include a ton of things, like how to advertise, the tone, color, feel of videos, a series of…

I think it may be more that they don’t want to pay rights fees to use other people’s pictures and they don’t want to run even the slightest risk of a C&D letter even when that use should be just fine.  They aren’t big on investing money in the product or the user experience around here.

I don’t quite get what all the snark is about in the article. A logo is SUPPOSED to be simple, clean, and efficient. This looks like a successful effort to me. What’s the problem?

People joke about this, but it really looks like the “I <heart> NY” logo helped bring back NYC tourism in the late 1970s when people assumed “Taxi Driver” was a documentary, so the value of a clever logo for LA isn’t as absurd as it seems at first glance.

Not really that weird. Sounds like she’s basing it on a mashup of transhuman stuff and AIs from Iain M. Banks novels (which might fit with the site asking if you’re a “player of games”).

So we’re going to take a genuinely good guy like this who speaks openly about paying respect to our people and others in general and drag him in the headline for no apparent reason other than to get clicks? If there’s any other motive let me know because those who know music know Dave Grohl is a real one. Hell, if you…

You’re asking a bit much from this writer, methinks. I mean, your second paragraph is light years better than anything in the article & that’s without you trying too hard, or say...having writing be your actual job.

Dave Grohl is from the DMV and pays homage and due respect to all Black artistry including GO-GO. I disagree with your header as he has always been about the music of our folks with humility and reverence. Always. Idk where the privilege was presented especially since he publicly and privately gave Tony Thompson his fl…

The problem, as I see it, is that they aren’t rewarding customers.

It’s not that Tarantino doesn’t get that, given he’s a white guy and the main characters in his movie are white, there’s a crowd that expects him to make artistic reparations for genuine historical racism at every turn. It’s that he doesn’t care about that kind of scorekeeping.

That wouldn’t work at all. 

I’m very on board for Crank 3. (I mean this as a very high compliment.)

I really don’t see how it’s surprising that the US government, or any government, would be investigating UAPs.

Oh good, this old song and dance again...

That so many people graduated from school thinking science was a static, permanent thing shows the failing of the American public school system.

Almost like not being an anti-science hack might be an important part of the criteria for the fan community of a show that is based on facts and intellectualism!
