Wow that Emmys opening sequence was cringey. No better way to show how relevant you are to pop culture than parodying a song that was written in 1975.

Aside from being the funkiest thing ever animated, the Sesame Street Number Count did a helluva job convincing an entire generation that pinball was way cooler than it actually was.

I really hope the democrats hammer Tiffany on the fact that he only ever says he wants to make healthcare costs “transparent” and not “affordable.”

I would like to know why my washer and dryer play Schubert’s “Trout” quintet when their cycles complete. It’s such a random choice.

Music festivals do a great job of reminding me that I have neither the stamina nor the arch support I did in my younger days.

Man, these anti-Francesca Hong commercials are really landing in the “don’t threaten me with a good time” category.

At this point the Minions should just drop the pratfall comedy and go full Cosmic Horror. “At The Minions of Madness” “Banana Over Innsmouth” “The Color Out Of Space (Is Yellow)”

“The X-Men have come to Dave’s Hot Chicken” is not a phrase I ever expected to hear in my lifetime, and now that I have, I find it deeply unsettling.

Sometimes I’ll be in the studio mixing something and get hit with the realization that I really get to do this, and it’s fun, and I get to do it with my best friends. It’s pretty awesome. (I just finished mixing the new #EyeNewDark record and it’s amazing. Jill is an incredibly gifted songwriter)

All the pontificating about “AI in the workplace” and all that always overlooks that an absurd amount of every company’s critical data ends up being maintained in a collection of opaque and poorly-named Excel files.

“Fun-size” candybars are such a lie. They’d be way more fun if they were comically large.

One of the most underdiscussed and frankly worrying facts about the current landscape is how all political discourse has been reduced to the word “deal.”

I feel like the Star Wars universe would have far fewer galactic conflicts if they just replaced a few mystical space wizards with, y’know, therapists.

During these big storms, weatherman keeps talking about a “hail core” and that just sounds to me like a particularly badass early-00’s metal genre.

At this point it’s nearly impossible to tell if this level of idiocy is malice or just incompetence.

Pretty sure the main reason Timothy Chalamet doesn’t like opera is because his generation didn’t grow up with Looney Tunes. No one who spent Saturday mornings with “What’s Opera Doc?” would hold that opinion.

When I was younger I watched The Matrix and identified with the hardscrabble freedom fighters in their underground city. Now I'm like "I'd get my own goo pod? With food and healthcare? And a permanent dream of the late 90's? In THIS economy? SIGN ME UP."

We got 8-10 inches of snow. Which is probably really 5-7 if you’re on a dating app.

“What were you like in the 90’s?” Not listening to the damned Goo Goo Dolls, I can tell you that much.

After Monday night’s NIN show, I am haunted by the fact that we’re potentially a mere Broadway production of “The Downward Spiral” away from the media having to mention Trent Reznor’s EGOT.
