You should give the guys at Knowledge Fight podcast their own part of the site.

I think the entire live event industry is at a crossroads. Sports, Music, etc. It's all too expensive and predatory. Everything right now is priced at luxury prices. There are no cheap seats and the product is increasingly poor. This all used to be mass entertainment but it's now for the wealthy.

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

It's almost like we shouldn't believe anything said by the trump administration at stock market open on a Friday morning.

Reckon George Lucas is sitting pretty at Skywalker Ranch thinking about all the people who said that a blockade of a major trade route was a stupid thing to base a movie around?

If he's had a political talent it's that he's been pretty good at reading where his base of support is at and where he can peel off extra support. Between his media diet shrinking and losing steam and his advancing age he's probably never been so disconnected than he is right now.

Just a thought. His rise as a political figure really is partly due to Twitter to Fox News to Mainstream media content loop that existed throughout the 2010's. That loop is essentially broken at this point and he's increasingly reliant on yes men feeding him positive news.

My wife and I were getting dancing lessons before our wedding and Rick Bayless was having a grand ol time in the dance studio next door dancing with his wife.

I can't imagine Skip enjoying himself doing something that doesn't make someone else miserable.

now I've got an uncontrollable urge.

It’s Time To Grow Up | Defector HBO’s new Harry Potter TV series is premiering this Christmas Day. Under current plans, it will last at least a decade. The trailer looks like the original films were run through an AI generator, but…

There is no way to watch the new 'Harry Potter' show subversively. If you're watching, you are buying in.

It's my primary service and I almost never use all my borrows in a month. It's great if you like movies. The TV selection is pretty limited. My only complaint about it is the search is jank.

The good parts of the internet are just the parts ripping off old Letterman bits.

There is a process for correcting the constitution if that's what you want to do, pass another amendment. It's easier though to use weasel words to change the meaning of amendments.

As I understand it you can't get a good new cassette deck because only one company in the world still makes cassette machine guts and it's not a very good one.

As AI video gets less janky it weirdly becomes less novel.

My company's payroll software app popped up a notification asking how much I loved them and I spent far too much time trying to figure out what number 1 through 5 means "tolerate you for money"

I think the story of the last 25 years is that nerd culture has slowly infiltrated and ruined every fandom, including sports.
