I was trying to remember where Black was in that film.

Do you want more slideshows? Because this is how you get more slideshows!

As a fan of home restoration shows, I feel like they’ve done an interesting job migrating the DIY network over to the Magnolia network. There are several shows now that aren’t all about flipping houses or shopping for houses. And even the flipping shows, like Bargain Block, have a novel feel. However, from these…

As a gardener myself, I truly lament the loss of any G on HGTV. The gardening aspect was always thin, and relegated to odd showing times, but at least there was something there. Now it’s just about buying and selling properties.

Dianne Wiest deserves some credit there as well.

I guess that The Departed is lean in comparison to Scorsese’s other work <looks over at Killers of the Flower Moon>

More amazing to me is that people can reach that level of power and still not realize that all things electronic leave an audit trail back to themselves. Someone at that level certainly has people they can instruct directly without leaving electronic fingerprints. Then there’s nothing but he said/she said when the…

Yeah, the one I got in south suburban Chicago wasn’t like that other than having that thick, bready crust. None of the caramelized cheese around the edges. I’ll give Jet’s a try if they ever open up near me.

No surprises

Resy, Bloomberg notes, has been fighting back by “deleting confirmed bot profiles” and by following up with emails to brokers telling them to stop.

Not to yuck your yum, but the DiGiorno pizza sounds too much like the Jones soda novelties.

I made the mistake of trying Little Caeser’s Detroit-style. What was I thinking?

They’ve pushed into Chicago-land. They’ve got a pretty good patty melt that is my go-to. Really the only fast food burger that I’ll bother with.

There was a restaurant near me named Bogart’s, that clearly used Humphrey Bogart’s likeness, and themed much of the place around the film Casablanca. I was surprised that his estate never filed a C&D over the name and image.

Child or Non-Child?

Kind of like the bricks re-purposed from a building that gets torn down. If the brick survived the destruction of the building, it’s clearly a superior brick.

I image searched the Pioneer wagon. That is one truly strange fin treatment on a wagon.
