SNL season 16, with Michael J. Fox has one of my favourite monologues so far. Rick Moranis might have it beat but only just. I always love a cast member doing an impression of the host right next to them, and here we get two plus a fantastic Doc Brown from Kevin Nealon. And an appearance from Lorne.

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

Well, happy Charles Darwin is “very poorly today & very stupid & hate[s] everybody & everything” to all who celebrate, because he wrote those words in a letter to his friend (and author of Principles of Geology) Charles Lyell 161 years ago today

This is my neighbourhood & this reporting is lousy - as are the people leading these efforts. The traffic calming here was well-advertised, involved extensive consultation, and does not barricade anyone in their own neighbourhood. It has made the area much safer for people walking and rolling. 1/

No matter how simple you make a shared Excel spreadsheet, no matter how much you lock down the protected cells and error-proof the formulas... someone you share it with will find a way to screw it up because they wanted to make the layout look prettier.

I love bike share. What an amazing idea. You take a bike wherever and whenever you want. And leave it wherever you want. It’s not the fastest or most fitted bike to you. But it’s incredible flexibility. Bike to transit and not worry about theft. Go for a run and bike back. See rain, take a bike.

Presented in full as it exists in my collection, this is part of an 'editorial response' to an unknown prior message, which aired in the ad break of episode 14 of season 15 of Saturday Night Life (Fred Savage, 1990). Caribou project, brain worm parasite, "we cannot guarantee success." I love it.

This is my favourite part of The Picture. At least, my favourite part for the moment. Two different light sources on a spherical shell from different axes. The sunlit atmosphere narrows at the edge as it disappears behind the curve of the Earth, underneath the aurora borealis.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=B81U... From SNL season 14, John Malkovich, "You Mock Me." A sketch I had never seen before, and hardly a classic. But wow, what a performance! It presages Adam Driver's "Career Day" sketch a full 30 years later. Also the very first appearance of Mike Myers! I love this one.

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other. It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

Another underrated SNL character - Paulie Herman/Jersey Guy. Piscopo is a divisive figure, and gets lost in Murphy's shadow, but was absolutely critical to his time at SNL. This character is also divisive and was 'killed off' due to unlikability but I love him. youtu.be/NCLiT9QWkdc

From this report on AI used in fraud and scams: datasociety.net/wp-content/u... "The inherent 'scamminess' of the contemporary internet" is great wording.
Screenshot of text: "Scams exploit social vulnerabilities and thus require social solutions in addition
to technical ones. Declining trust in institutions, the inherent “scamminess” of the
contemporary internet, and shifting economic norms blur the line between legitimate
opportunities and scams, leaving even tech-savvy individuals vulnerable."

Another under-rated SNL sketch. The "Two Sammies" characters from season 12 did get repeated, but didn't make much of a long-term impact. However, this sketch has stuck with me more than any other, and I find myself saying "there's another thing I'll never do!" about 5 times a day.
