San Diego 🎶 Sometimes I just want to read Donald Duck and be in silence. But then birds natter outside my window while rain patters on the roof. 🎶 - Maustetytöt (🇫🇮 for “Spice Girls”) “Mä loistan kuin hämärä” (“I Shine Like the Twilight”)

Not in that neighborhood. I’d also be surprised if Scientologists training/auditing at the center were registered to vote in the district. My guess would be a conservative streak among immigrant owners of single-family homes.

I assume this means you once moderated a conference panel and cut this person off from monologuing from the audience during the Q&A segment, and this is how they channel that resentment!

Of course the chatbot business would be run by French Stewart as the natural evolution of his celebrity impersonator business. And he would first make Abed refine the Jamie Lee Curtis chatbot.

He was the commencement speaker when I graduated college and was every bit as understated yet engaging as he was on tv. I don’t remember the wisdom he had for us, but he did tell a great story about people in airports often mistaking him for John McCain and how he didn’t always correct them.

Not just political work, but *any* work. Working in a workplace. Moving to a new community. Being a union member. There’s imperfection, difference, adaptation and compromise in every aspect of life.

2/2 …I hiked as far back as I could. The panorama I took doesn’t even begin to capture what it was like to see 200k people singing along. I’d never been part of a crowd so in thrall to anyone- she could’ve asked us to take up arms and overrun Europe and nobody would’ve objected. RIP Dolly.

1/2 My top concert memory ever is Dolly in the Sunday afternoon “Legends” slot at Glastonbury in 2014. I thought I was happy ~250 feet from the stage, but after turning around to see, hear & feel a crowd that was denser than for the Friday & Saturday headliners (Arcade Fire & Metallica)…

The piece is probably also a deliberate and cynical part of the “flood the zone with bullshit” strategy. Step 1: flood the zone Step 2: laugh as the media, opposition, etc. become Lucy & Ethel in the chocolate factory Step 3: claim Lucy & Ethel aren’t overwhelmed, but are saboteurs

When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the Reflecting Pool. I'm here a week now...waiting for a mission...getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Algae squats in the Pool, he gets stronger.

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you
A print ad for the short-lived 1983 ABC sitcom Condo starring Maclean Stevenson. The ad features caricatured drawings of two middle-aged men staring each other down (the lanky white man is also wagging his finger at the shorter Latino man) while their smiling wives look on (the white wife is sloshing her martini glass while the Latino wife brandishes a wooden spoon dripping with some sort of sauce). Meanwhile, two young people near the bottom of the ad appear to be in love. Text of the ad: Comedy Premiere! Meet two All-American families…The Kirkridges and The Rodriguez’s. They share a terrace, a common dislike for each other…and two lids who are falling in love. Condo. It’s wall-to-wall laughter.

Yup, it’s not the most tactful framing, but we all need to be told fuck no at some point. And we all (including, or maybe even especially, the people sneering at her about this) have a desire to tell others fuck no about something.

Hmm, their displaced contempt for the less well-read and the expectation that everything has to be dumbed down sounds familiar…
Screenshot of an exchange about James Bond from 10 days ago, with user alttag saying “Eh. Writing a successful-yet-racist/sexist anti-hero in today’s world is a difficult task, and doing so without seeming to vaporize those flaws to— shall we say— unsophisticated audiences, is probably impossible.” and Tom Nichols replying “Who cares? ‘We must make James Bond palatable to Gen Z’ isn’t an argument for letting it end… But ‘James Bond, approved by British HR and licensed to be sensitive’ is just nonsense.”

He had another one a few years ago with one memorable grievance that seemed to conflate reality with the sitcom “Community”
A screenshot from an older California Voter’s Guide in which a candidate Don J. Grundmann published a long manifesto. Highlighted in the screenshot is his proposal to “Ban…anal flags at schools”In a scene from the sitcom Community, the dean of the community college holds up a rendering of the new college flag, which on a field of blue features the name GREENDALE in white letters along the top. In the lower two-thirds of the flag is a pink circle featuring three (possibly brown) intersecting lines. The phrase “E Pluribus Anus” is displayed around the circle.
