Hillbilly Elegy looks like a gag in 30 Rock where Jenna is playing both roles in an attempt to win two Oscars for the same movie.

People online who are looking forward to the return of Adam Page's old theme song, I get it. But I love, love, love the theme he's used for the past few years. It's an All-Timer.

Probably gonna butcher this, but Mitch is talking about his heavy metal band. "People either loved us or hated us. Or they thought we were okay."

Wild that people spend a little money to buy books written by obscure authors published by a small press based out of some guy’s house and then they get the books in the mail one day and read them and like them and in many cases go back to the website and order more books.

Dear reader, was it the flavor of Strawberry Starburst Sparkling Ice or that I said, "This (drink) slaps!" that made my partner scowl and shake her head?

You read my mind, A.D. Although, for myself, I must amend number 7: The no-budget movie adaptation of my novel that ends up in Tubi's Cult Classics, alongside Samurai Cop and Miami Connection.

Replaying Celeste and trying to get all the strawberries. Struggling on the first level, naturally. How to get what will be my 8th strawberry? Reluctantly, I look up a guide. Oh god, oh no. This should be my 13th strawberry. Save and quit.

The original thread is required reading, and I agree with May here on writing being disrespected. Additional thoughts below.

The Mars Volta. Stevie Wonder. Phish. Categorically Jazz, all of them, according to YouTube.

Oh my god, the delivery of the final chorus in "I'm Waiting for the Day" by the Beach Boys!

"'We’re all in on meeting our audiences where they are,' said Peter Elkins-Williams, Head of Global Partnerships at The Washington Post." (From the press release) lol wrong lmao

I just sent out the first query letter. I have earned this Zero Sugar Dr. Pepper. Happy Record Store Day, everybody.
