They will revisit once he has actually been found guilty. If they do it now, it sets a dangerous precedent.

I'm going to go with the X-Files. Although I was going to say The Sopranos because when it first came out it was like no one had ever made good TV before and they were showing everyone else how to do it. But I have rewatched X-Files way more than the sopranos (I have a few times, but the last couple of times I kind of skipped over the therapy sessions to get to the rest of the show). The seasons were long enough that they could keep a main story going, and then allow the characters to develop more fully in these little side quests with other interesting characters. The chemistry between Duchovny and Anderson was perfect, the writing was extremely compelling, and they did a really wonderful job with story arcs. Also, it's mostly filmed in Vancouver in the 90s and I have fond memories of that town in that time. Continuum is another favourite for that same reason. But yeah, the X-Files. Currently at season 7 in another rewatch and still loving it.

 

I generally watch football on a delay. Even if I'm not, I'm recording one or two other games to watch later. The score ticker at the bottom of the screen is nothing but spoilers, and then the in-game updates about other games completely ruins them. It's fucking 2023, can they not adjust to how people are watching these games now??????

I'm slowly getting ready for a wedding I don't want to go to and having a little break and you gave me a good out-loud guffaw, buddy. Thanks for the larf

I've been getting emails with the subject line, "Your expertise is requested," from LinkedIn for several years now. They definitely know how to pander to their audience!

It sounds to me like he says "fucking gun" as well. Probably just a thing you say when you want to shoot someone. All Cops Are Cunts

You don't want to sound like music that has one sound or line of melody being played by multiple instruments at the same time?

I think that might be the case for radio country music, but there's a huge resurgence or Americana that's been happening for the last 15 years or so. Phosphorescent, Damien Jurado, Black Mountain and a lot of others on labels like Sub Pop (yes, that Sub Pop), Dead Oceans, Warm, and more. It's worth looking into if you have a hankerin' for some rebel country in the tradition of Waylon, Willie, and Bocephus.

Yeah, it's more of a "data exists, kind of."

Conan was talking about this, either on his podcast or at the end of that last Norm special on Netflix. Apparently, he was booked for two segments, but thought he was only there for one, so he just improved this whole thing to fill in the time. Such a brilliant mind. What a huge loss.

I feel like maybe I'm being a bit thick here, but there's no way for people to go to... news sites?

Awesome. Can't wait! I'm a bit "showed out" after jazz fest this year so it's just this one and Nick Cave until the end of the year and I think it's a great way to wrap it up until spring. Also, holy flirking shnit did shows ever get fucking expensive!

 

I logged in two hours late to watch the Jays/Cubs game thinking that I'd just start from the beginning. I haven't done that before, so I did a quick search to confirm that it's possible to watch a game from the start on this service. The answer I get says yes, it's possible, so off I go. Well the first thing I see when I log in is a GIANT banner for the game with the score right there. Now why the fuck would they do that??? They're going to get you to start the game in the 5th inning by showing you the score? Fucking bush league shit.
