I'm seriously struck by the Obama picture.

 

 

Looks like a painting of Obama speaking in the fog.

 

Either that, or he's about to fight a Bloodborne boss.

The deal means that more than 600 of Dylan's copyrighted songs written over nearly 60 years — "from 1962's cultural milestone 'Blowin' In The Wind' to this year's epic 'Murder Most Foul,'" the press release said — are now owned by the media giant.

 

"It is no exaggeration to say that his vast body of work has captured the love and admiration of billions of people all around the world," Lucian Grainge, Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group, said in the press release announcing the deal.

 

"I have no doubt that decades, even centuries from now, the words and music of Bob Dylan will continue to be sung and played—and cherished—everywhere," Grainge added.

A: So in the weeks leading up to the election, we essentially discovered that the DeSantis administration had ordered public health officials not to discuss the COVID-19 virus with the public. So no press releases about COVID-19 were coming out from the Florida Department of Health. And the Florida Department of Health’s messaging to the public shifted remarkably online. The term that we kept hearing again and again for this was “blue sky” messaging, in the lead up to the election.

 

Q: Tell us about blue sky messaging. What does that mean?

 

A: Well, it’s almost a directive to talk about anything other than the virus itself. “Go get your flu shot. Watch out, it’s radon season. Make sure that you get your yearly checkup, or that you’re, you know, doing all of the other health things that you should be doing.” But the Florida Department of Health, which is the main public health agency in the state, wasn’t talking about the pandemic, it wasn’t talking about COVID-19. It was talking about everything else.

Q: Did your investigation actually reveal misinformation that was put up by the governor’s office? Because it’s one thing to focus on the positive. It’s another thing to deliberately mislead people. Did you find that?

 

A: Yes, indeed, yeah. This is one of the more difficult things to talk about. So we found that the governor spokesperson on his personal Twitter account, at least 16 separate times, discussed mask wearing in a way that experts consider to be misinformative. In keeping with the DeSantis administration’s greater position on masks... the spokesperson would go ahead and say, Fred Piccolo, Jr., you know, there’s no need for a... mask mandate, they don’t work. That’s not factually accurate. They are shown to work. And in several instances, he actually compared COVID-19 to the flu, and said that the flu was equally deadly. That’s not accurate, either. And so this is a public official, and, you know, the governor’s number one spokesperson, and so we felt the need to fact check that misinformation coming out.

Rudy doesn't look healthy at all.

 

 

 

All my life, I knew Giuliani to look like this, with fewer or more wrinkles depending on the year:

 

 

 

But he really blew up in his old age, hasn't he?

The Chappelle episode on the Saturday after the election was the first time I'd watched SNL all the way through in a long time and it was just absolute cringe the entire way through. The show is just coasting on everyone's nostalgia for whatever seasons they grew up on at this point, which is why there's like 3 former cast members in every sketch now. It's not good.

 

Whaaa?

 

That was actually a good episode, and the 2016 season was good overall.

LSU is bad.

 

Are they missing a ton of people? Because this is a weird follow-up to a stellar national championship season last year. Coach O has been doing splendid overall, so this year seems out of character.

Win this and Gators go to the SEC Championship. And it'll feel better than 2015/2016 when we defaulted to it somehow.  

 

Mullen has made the team so much more fun to watch.

Partly agree.

 

 

A lot of people attacking Dem leadership - rightly for plenty of things - don't remember what their all knowing strategies were just a few months ago.

This should have been made a high priority prior to the election, not after.

 

 

My favorite part of the article:

For the first time in congressional history, House Democrats are poised for a vote Friday on a long-shot measure that would decriminalize marijuana use at the federal level -- months after pulling the bill amid worries the controversial vote could cause some lawmakers to lose tight races in November.

What's with conspiracy theorists' obsessions with pictures fading into one another?

Curb has great moments, but I agree with the criticism that it's basically a George Costanza show without the ensemble to balance it.

 

That conversation Larry and Jason have about where to do the meeting, though... so fucking good.

Took down 3-1 last night. Really enjoyed that level. Not a ton of enemies but still a good amount of suspense. I didn’t see the interesting solution to the boss though? Unless you meant the way you properly identify it? Then yeah that took me a few minutes before I noticed it haha

 

Well, it was funny to me because

"Timeless" is a word that can have different meaning, imo. If your comedy is outdated because the culture has moved past where the show was to an extent where the jokes are offensive, then yeah, definitely not timeless. But I don't think having a payphone in your show means that it's not timeless. That's silly.

 

At a certain point there's not much of a distinction between a show made in the 90s and a current show that is set in the 90s. If you watch an old show or watch a show set in an old time, you're going to instinctively understand that technology will be different.

To be fair, they did the same thing with Norm’s wife on Cheers. She never appeared.

 

And in the case of Maris, they never showed because when it came time to cast her, no actress would fit the description they gave her over the course of how many seasons by the time they actually wanted her to appear.

 

It's also funnier because it's left to the imagination. At one point Frasier goes to meet who you think is Maris, and then you think you see her but it's actually the cleaning lady behind her. Doesn't work with an actor playing her.

Seinfeld was ahead of its time so it’s aged well, but... it’s an incredibly white show, it has a laugh track, etc. It’s not any more timeless than something like The Mary Tyler Moore show. That show was great, but people aren’t going back and discovering it now, and they won’t with Seinfeld, either. It’s not timeliness, humor just doesn’t work that way.

 

Doesn't matter that it's white (do you not know any actual black people? Many dig that show), and I prefer shows with audiences. There's no sitcom with a live audience that feels old because it's like that.

 

If anything, because it's a stage, you're more likely to get stronger actors like Caroll O'Connor and Jason Alexander who feed off the audience.

Nothing is timeless, we just happened to be around when it was relevant.  You know how many Seinfeld episodes would be over immediately or never even begin because of cell phones and the internet?  The soup nazi?  Uber Eats that shit.  Can't remember your date's name?  Facebook.  Bathroom book?  Yes, the bookstore market is thriving.  Damn, how will we ever find ourselves in this huge parking garage?  Oh right, text.  Oh shit, I need to call my girlfriend but the only payphone is busy!  What the fuck is a payphone?  I mean for fuck's sake, Jerry lives in a palatial apartment on a stand up comedian's paycheck and Kramer lives in a similar apartment with no actual job.  The New York city they live in just doesn't exist anymore.  The jokes are still funny, but it shows its age.

 

This argument needs to be laid to rest.

 

NYC was expensive then. That's not age; you just have to accept that the show isn't filled with nuclear physicists.

 

If you want the jokes to not "age," then do a period piece like That 70s Show. I understood Goodfellas despite the fact that there's a payphone in it and when he stood her up at a date, Pesci never texted him.
