Season 9 had some fine episodes, also some poor ones, but all of them had the hallmarks of the coming collapse (as did the latter production half of season 8). I weirdly recall actively disliking this one when first broadcast. I've softened a bit on it since.

29 years ago today, Homer Simpson had this exchange with a Khlav Kalash vendor. On September 21, 1997, #TheSimpsons episode “The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson” first aired on Fox.

The other day I was picking up Pizza from Pomodoro Pizza in Bethany Beach. The grandmother that runs it was very proud and pointed at the TV showing her grandson playing in the DE vs MD game in the Mid-Atlantic little League world series game

This is a possibility but honestly I think the correct solution is to use the James Bond name and get a director that's very good at making quick, good, and low budget action movies done. And make a ton, like the original novels. Oceans 11 but Bond, maybe.

Expectations for the next Bond are much too high and it’s impossible to please everyone. Here’s the solution: don’t cast the role. Shoot the entire movie from a first-person perspective, allowing the viewer to imagine that they themselves are James Bond

I'm not sure I have any receipts of how Humble Bundles used to do it, but this feels very, very low to the charity and the actual source of what they're selling than when they started... very sad.

the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding
