God damn whatever rabbit hole landed me on Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You”. It’s going to be one of those nights. -- nm - Mop May 3, 21:49 1
- Aside: Seriously, if Johnny Cash had ever sung “The House of the Rising Sun”, the world would have exploded from awesomeness. -- nm - Mop May 3, 21:49

- MC 900 Foot Lava Plume -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 21:50 1
  - +9 Qale Points. -- nm - IAmQale May 3, 21:58
- It seems so 'non-scary.' Like watching a fireplace burn. Volcanoes are supposed to explode. -- nm - Meg May 3, 21:45
Disney College Program returning -- (link) - ty97 May 3, 21:37 1
- I expect most “canceled” things at Disney will be returning rather rapidly, except for maybe the Magical Express, which still strikes me as odd. -- nm - Mop May 3, 21:50
Godzilla (2014) is just a metaphor for gentrification, isn't it? -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 21:30

- We haven’t changed the sheets from 1995, either. -- nm - Mop May 3, 21:56
- Same hotel brand, nearby location but more recently built I think so different style. Much better but... - ty97 May 3, 21:16 [Attachment] 7
  - I like it -- nm - JaxSean May 3, 21:40 1
    - NO -- nm - ty97 May 3, 21:41
  - It doesn't show stains. Don't think about what's on it, don't. -- nm - jnine May 3, 21:26 1
    - I know places choose the patterns for that reason, I just....no. -- nm - ty97 May 3, 21:29
  - I wouldn't want it in my house but I don't mind it. It makes me think of abstract expressionism. -- nm - crash davis May 3, 21:22
  - it's different, but I'm not sure it's better. -- nm - mafic May 3, 21:18 1
    - It's more muted? -- nm - ty97 May 3, 21:19
- I think a more neutral carpet would have taken the edge off. -- nm - Max May 3, 21:08 20
  - Ocean front hotel in Ventura, CA - Meg May 3, 21:25 [Attachment] 3
    - This photo shows why the crime scene cleaners didn't get paid? -- nm - crash davis May 3, 21:28 2
      - And on the Norwegian Pearl on the way to Vancouver - - Meg May 3, 21:37 [Attachment] 1
        
        awww, given its location, it made sense and had a directional purpose -- nm - crash davis May 3, 21:40
  - The teal attacks you, the peach makes no sense with it, and the carpet, though not bright, manages to be loud. -- nm - ty97 May 3, 21:14 15
    - Crazy take: I like everything except the sickly orange wall. nm - ralph wiggum May 3, 21:19 11
      - Word. Also, I hate orange. -- nm - JaxSean May 3, 21:39 3
        
        good thing you live in a state where it is not a common color -- nm - crash davis May 3, 21:41 2
        
        honestly, that hotel room feels like it could be Jax's living room. -- nm - ty97 May 3, 21:44 1
        
        Well now that you're given me the inspiration... -- nm - JaxSean May 3, 21:48
      - yeah, I don't hate anything except that. -- nm - mafic May 3, 21:32 5
        
        You've both been living upside down for too long -- nm - ty97 May 3, 21:34 4
        
        I mean, I'm not putting it in my house, but I like it more than the other one. -- nm - mafic May 3, 21:37 3
        
        It's TEAL and peach. TEAL. TTTTTEEEEEEAAAALLLLLLL. - ty97 May 3, 21:41 2
        
        I don't mind teal because I like that mid century modern style. Same with the carpet pattern. The peach is gross though. nm - ralph wiggum May 3, 21:55
        
        Opens wardrobe - looks inside - closes quietly and leaves. -- nm - Meg May 3, 21:47
      - I find the peach wall to be all right, it just doesn't mix with the rest of the choices - ty97 May 3, 21:21
    - "Shoot them. Shoot them both." -- nm* - Max May 3, 21:17
    - but other than that -- nm - crash davis May 3, 21:15 1
      - I mean, I recoiled when the picture came up! -- nm - ty97 May 3, 21:17
- it's from 1993? -- nm - mafic May 3, 21:07 1
  - Hmm, the teal does seem a bit Win95-esque -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 21:08
- It looks like it's some kind of cyber-teal. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 21:05
Politico (!) posted a Ted Lasso article. ST poll: Have you watched Ted Lasso? -- (link) - Ear Victim May 3, 21:00 10
- Ted Lasso clue on Jeopardy on Friday. -- nm - Mop May 3, 21:30
- No because crApple. -- nm - JaxSean May 3, 21:09
- 2 or 3 episodes. -- nm - Ender May 3, 21:09 1
  - You should prioritize it. At its heart, it's a baseball movie. -- nm - Ear Victim May 3, 21:50
- Not yet. I want Apple TV shows but I don't want Apple to get my money. -- nm - Max May 3, 21:09 2
  - Let's go steal AppleTV. -- nm - Hitter Hacker Thief Grifter May 3, 21:10 1
    - “I’m in!” -- nm - Mop May 3, 21:30
- For as much as I've said about it, I've actually only watched the first 2 or 3 episodes. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 21:05
- I've watched it four times now and most recently over the weekend I did another watch through. It's wonderful! -- nm - Krusty May 3, 21:05
- No. Don't have Apple TV. -- nm - zunk xometimes May 3, 21:03
Two weeks ago, the WWE released the IIconics, Mickie James, and Chelsea Green. Tonight, Eva Marie returned. - Ear Victim May 3, 20:49 1
- Well, she is All Red Everything. -- nm - IAmQale May 3, 20:54
Mets have fired hitting coaches Chili Davis and Tom Slater. -- nm - budice May 3, 20:48 3
- Donnie Stevenson takes over. -- nm - Tim May 3, 20:52 2
  - I doubt the hitting coach is the issue but maybe the firing is a wake up call for the bats. -- nm - Krusty May 3, 21:07 1
    - Have they tried hats for bats? Keep bats warm -- nm - crash davis May 3, 21:49
I look forward when we can leave Remedial Jeopardy behind. That guy on Friday was an embarrassment to the show. -- nm - Mop May 3, 20:48
I hate couriers who drop things off at my gate in the rain. -- nm - mafic May 3, 20:42 1

On Sunday Adult Swim dropped what I can only describe as a 15 minute 8-bit mini-movie promoting the new season of Rick & Morty on June 20th. -- nm - Mop May 3, 20:30 1
- They are the best at odd marketing. Between showing the Aqua Teen movie in its entirety in a tiny portion of the screen to the Moonites mistaken for.. - IAmQale May 3, 22:04
Someone should turn Tucker Carlson into a bobble head and call it a "FuckoPlop™️" -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 20:26
I'm unhappy with the iPhone SE second gen as the replacement for the 12 stolen from me a week or so ago. I'm working on getting an X instead. - IAmQale May 3, 20:21 7
- Also, as we're thinking of getting an SE2 as a spare "home" phone ... what are the downsides you're finding? -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 20:28 3
  - I was more fond of bezel requiring home button than I anticipated. Battery life is wanting (though apparently not as bad as the 12 mini?) -- (edited) - IAmQale May 3, 20:35 2
    - non bezel requiring home button? -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 20:37 1
      - Yeah, I effed that line up twice trying to be clever. I don't like the home button as much as I thought I could get used to it. - IAmQale May 3, 20:44
- Isn't the X two years older than the SE2? -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 20:26 2
  - But the first iPhone only came out... THIRTEEN YEARS AGO?! -- nm - Mop May 3, 20:34
  - It is. The slower chip seems to be the biggest downside beyond camera tech. Otherwise, it has face id, OLED, and that size back. - IAmQale May 3, 20:33
I have to believe that was actually Mila Kunis singing “Love is a Battlefield” in Russian on Family Guy this week. -- nm - Mop May 3, 20:09 3
- she grew up in Ukraine, yo. speaks Russian with her parents. -- nm - mafic May 3, 20:28 2
  - Yeah, the “she speaks Russian” part was known to me. The fact that she could belt out an 80s power ballad in Russian is something else. -- nm - Mop May 3, 20:29 1
    - I dunno, I bet you could do it in Spanish. I used to translate pop songs into French in middle school for fun. -- nm - mafic May 3, 20:40
FWP: Determining what time of day to book a flight for based on how well you expect you might (or might not) sleep the night before. - ty97 May 3, 20:04 1
- That's almost always a yes for me. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 20:19
I audibly gasped when I saw an ad for the new season of “Lego Masters”. Also... apparently the #1 new show of last season? -- nm - Mop May 3, 19:56 1
- I think you technically have to exclude the last dance, but it was a miniseries, so sure. -- nm - mafic May 3, 20:26
That Caufield kid might amount to something when he grows up. -- nm - Mop May 3, 19:55
Sorry Canada: B.C. mayor apologizes for U.S. trip to visit family, get vaccinated -- (link) - budice May 3, 19:46 3
- they're citizens, so sure, but she totally could have gotten it in Canada. that's where my stepfather lives and he got his a month ago. - mafic May 3, 20:23
- Unbelievable -- nm - Pippy May 3, 20:18 1
  - To be fair ... - Beryllium May 3, 20:20

Pfizer about to be approved for 12-15 age range -- (link) - Reagen May 3, 19:40 3
- "Viagra for kids!" -- nm - budice May 3, 19:41 2
  - I like the asshole vlogger who was like, "they'll want to vaccinate your kids next" - yes, when in history have we vaccinated children against disease -- nm - Reagen May 3, 19:43 1
    - if there's one thing I'm against it's eliminating preventable childhood disease. -- nm - mafic May 3, 20:03
Doesn’t Homeland Security have better things to do? -- (link) - spamlet May 3, 19:32 1

MST3Kickstarter: Joel explains the Gizmoplex. -- (link) - Tim May 3, 18:23 3
- I know this tends to happen with Kickstarters, especially on their 2nd runs, but essentially what Joel is running is a pre-sale. - IAmQale May 3, 19:13 2
  - Kickstarter likes to say they're not a store, but they very much are. -- nm - Tim May 3, 19:16 1
    - They aren't, until they are is kind of how I've been looking at them. Running your first or a small fry? No. But RiffTrax does them every year now. -- nm - IAmQale May 3, 19:31
Heh, American Airlines says almost $12,000 for a first class round trip to Seattle. It's Alaska Air and they'll do it for $418 :/ -- nm - Meg May 3, 18:23 4
- Except what they don’t tell you is that it’s Seattle, Alaska. Smaller town. -- nm - Volnelk May 3, 20:16 1
  - I like Alaska for that route because they do direct flights to Orange County. But I also like to use my American miles when I can. -- nm - Meg May 3, 20:32
- Sounds doable -- nm - Pippy May 3, 19:38 1
  - Not that I'm planning to go to Seattle, but if I do it'll be on Alaska for sure :) -- nm - Meg May 3, 20:12
i do not like the MRI of shame -- nm* - prayformojo May 3, 18:21 3
- 🤞🏼🤞🏼 -- nm - Krusty May 3, 21:09
- Were they able to get you a diagnosis right away, or will it take a while? -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 20:27
- I do not like to be enclosed, I do not like to be without clothes. -- nm - IAmQale May 3, 18:24

Diagram of a certain types of bad take columnists (nmblink) - ralph wiggum May 3, 18:18 4
- "You do not, in fact, have to hand it to him." -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 20:11
- "The Democrats are losing common men like me, a newspaper columnist that earns middle six figures" -- nm - Reagen May 3, 18:22 2
  - See also: "The Democrats need to screw the millions of people who need them to appeal to a few thousand people who won't ever vote for them." nm - ralph wiggum May 3, 18:34 1
    - "So it turns out everything in my last column was untrue. But it sure *sounds* like something liberals would say" -- nm - Reagen May 3, 19:20

- “Despite the inherent challenges, our teams were able to limit waste to approximately one dose per onsite vaccination clinic" - Baron Nefcy May 3, 18:21 6
  - With Pfizer, if your number of shots given isn't a multiple of 6, there will be waste. -- nm - Tim May 3, 18:33 2
    - How long does it take for a vail to be defrosted, I assume they go from deep freeze to just icy the day before??? -- nm - zeitgeist May 3, 19:31 1
      - Supposedly a few hours. We've got a box of dry ice with the vials, we're supposed to move a few to the fridge before closing. - Tim May 3, 20:06
  - context, what's that? -- (edited) - znufrii May 3, 18:23
  - Bout where I am on it. Fine with people keeping an eye on waste. -- nm - budice May 3, 18:22 1
    - keeping an eye on it is one thing, penning ragebait headlines for tweet clicks by leaving out important context is quite another. -- nm* - znufrii May 3, 18:24
- out of how many? -- nm - znufrii May 3, 18:17
- 🤬 -- nm - India May 3, 18:17
