I am not a savvy music person, but to me, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Nobody’s Son” is one of the best pop songs in a bit: wistful, cheery-sad, bouncy in the exact way of the second drink with a commiserating friend. An outdoor song, but also a 3am lights swirling post-last-call song, too. It makes me cry

I know the show started to get wobbly around this point, but I’ve been really enjoying my rewatch of Simpsons S9. In the Helen Hunt ep alone! “Lobsters stuffed with tacos,” “I’m just going out to commit certain deeds,” etc. What a program it once was.

Kinda seems like right wing pundits were alerted to the gotcha ahead of time, then didn't watch the actual hearing and so missed it being proven completely wrong, so they're sticking to an old script and Schmitt just has to sit there with a blank stare and hope they move on to something else quickly

I have to assume none of the actors involved knew how conservative it would get by season 3

I think I know what you mean, but it was a huge, beloved (by some) Blockbuster With a Heart. That said, the Odyssey (and maybe Dune) might satisfy the tentpole itch. It’s hard to say if Gosling has a better chance than the movie itself, or if it’s the other way around.
