        No way you escaped the 80s without hearing this -- (link) - Reagen Mar 24, 08:14 [youtube] 9
        
        i was glued to MTV in the 80s and can say that's the first time I heard that song. Also, what is that sneaking out of his waistband at 1:27? -- nm - Inigo Mar 24, 08:21 3
        
        The awful video made you forget. But that video on Mtv is WHY I remember them. -- nm - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 24, 08:22 2

        I troned as I knew David had spoke of them a lot (and he has). Here is one. -- (link) - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 24, 08:19 [Backboard] 3
        
        I'm used to skimming by posts of you all talking about weird obscure bands -- nm* - ty97 Mar 24, 08:21 2
        
        And *this* is why you fail. - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 24, 08:24 1
        
        Researching y'all's random band references would be full time job! -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 08:30
        
        heh, I'm having Alexa play me New Girl Now as I read your post -- nm - crash davis Mar 24, 08:12 2
        
        I figured it was what ty97 knew! -- nm - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 24, 08:12 1

John Wick 4: $8.9 million Thursday. Probably an $80 million weekend. -- nm - Inigo Mar 24, 07:39 9
- Is that good? - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 24, 07:44 8
  - if you told me after John Wick 1 or 2 or 3 that I would see another movie besides a John Wick sequel on opening weekend, I'd say you were nuts. -- (edited) - Jovian Mar 24, 07:47 6
    - Isn't D&D just Sunday afternoon? -- nm - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 24, 07:51 5
      - It was last week, too. They know they have a crowd pleaser, and are trying to get the word out as much as possible. - Inigo Mar 24, 08:01
      - Yes. -- nm - sycor Mar 24, 07:57 3
        
        Then Jovian is still a failure if he does not see Wick, as well. -- nm - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 24, 08:06 2
        
        Oh a double feature weekend at the theater is definitely not out of the question! -- nm - Jovian Mar 24, 08:16 1

I'm probably late to the show here, but this YT music video "Hi Ren" is a masterpiece - decline Mar 24, 07:28 [youtube] 3
- All of his stuff is pretty amazing. Here's the Tale of Jenny and Screech trilogy. -- (link) - Dano Mar 24, 07:32 [youtube] 2

Huh. I guess I have Showtime now. Was looking stuff up about Yellowjackets, saw that it was on Paramount, but is REALLY on Showtime on Paramount. - Volnelk Mar 24, 07:12 6
- FWIW, I didn't get upgraded. I don't see how they upgraded you without your consent. -- nm - Mop Mar 24, 07:46 2
  - No, I did it. It was $2. It's in my IM. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 24, 07:48 1
    - Hmm, interesting. I'm on a 12 month deal with HBO Max but when it expires, I'm gonna dump it. Then maybe I upgrade to Showtime. -- nm - Mop Mar 24, 08:53
- Watch EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE now! -- nm - Mop Mar 24, 07:44 1
  - I want to watch this again, but with someone who's never seen it. - St. Louis BaronHawks Mar 24, 07:48
- exact opposite for me. I had Showtime. But now its been dropped (because of the Paramount changes I guess) and I must renew/reorder it with Fios - Jovian Mar 24, 07:19

Sad news: Darcelle passed away last night. -- (link) - Reluctant Cynic Mar 24, 07:01 7
- (RC knows this) Our local PBS station did a profile of Darcelle that's well worth watching. -- (link) - Mop Mar 24, 08:52
- Very sorry. Go watch the D+U2 thing and let it cheer you up. -- nm - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 24, 07:45
- 92 and all of it living her best life. - TWuG Mar 24, 07:04 1
  - (spoilers) - Reluctant Cynic Mar 24, 07:11
- Sorry for your loss—I’ll have to read up on Darcelle, sad to say I know nothing about them. Seems like it would be a good deep dive to do -- nm - Flavorize Mar 24, 07:04

NHL goal song rankings: From grunge to Jock Jams and everything in between -- (edited) - crash davis Mar 24, 06:37 5
- They're right about the Columbus cannon. There can be five goals and the fifth one will still startle you. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 24, 07:03 2
  - Fortunately that rarely happens -- nm - TWuG Mar 24, 07:06 1
    - Only if I bet against them. You'd think it would be easy money. It is not. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 24, 07:13
- The Edmonton one is the right kind of obnoxious when you pot two quick ones. -- nm - Reagen Mar 24, 07:02
- NHL fans chose wisely at the top. My disdain for the Leafs using Hall and Oates finished middle of the pack. Love the comment on the Canucks -- nm - crash davis Mar 24, 06:38
You though Twitters new Blue Check policy couldn't get dumber. You were wrong. -- (link) - TWuG Mar 24, 06:33 13
- Because many users have just been blocking or avoiding following the purchased check mark users. -- nm* - Jovian Mar 24, 06:49 1
  - Or just incessantly mocking them with “This MFer paid for Twitter” memes -- nm - znufrii, meh and problematic Mar 24, 06:51
- trying to work out the logic of that hurts my brain. -- nm - Andie Mar 24, 06:46 2
  - There are perks to paying beyond the check, including longer character limit and boosting by the algorithm. - TWuG Mar 24, 06:57 1
    - So yeah with your IM, if you have a longer character limit, you'd be exposed as a blue check anyway. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 24, 07:03
- Why not customize what the check marks look like? American flag 🇺🇸 or rainbow 🌈 or Tom Brady’s face or a million different things—charge to customize -- nm - Flavorize Mar 24, 06:43 2
  - There's a Chrome extension that will label all paid check accounts however you'd like. - TWuG Mar 24, 06:55 1
    - 🤔—nice! -- nm - Flavorize Mar 24, 07:17
- It's The Sneetches machine. -- nm - Reagen Mar 24, 06:42
- So…why would you pay for….how has this idiot ever succeeded? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 24, 06:40 3
  - blue check boosts you with the algorithm, but now can also hide that you're paying to get boosted -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 24, 07:22 1
    - double-secret probation -- nm - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 24, 07:45
  - Because it was always only about destroying the Blue Check legacy system. - Jovian Mar 24, 06:44
