This is half a decade old news, but I only found this out myself after it accidentally came up in conversation at the DMV. The worker would not have informed me if it hadn’t come into conversation.

I think watching a couple audiologist videos where they dig out years of compacted q-tip cotton pressed against the eardrum might change their opinion.
Watchmen is kinda like the Mona Lisa. Is it the most incredible painting ever by today’s standards? Not at all, but during its time, it was incredible, influencing artists for centuries to come.

I mean, it’s pretty easy to dismiss this desire, but our chain foods in other countries can be quite unique. You can have a burger and a sauna in Finland at a McDonalds. A beer in Germany.

I get why it would be cool to see how what we grew up with differs on the other side of the world.

Jenny Slate, one of the few performers to drop an F-bomb live on SNL. Also, the voice of Marcel the Shell, the titular star of Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, which is a sweet, if not slightly underwhelming, stop-action film (though still recommended), which she completed during both COVID and her divorce from her husband, Dean Fleischer-Camp (who also directed and appeared in the film).
