"it's early for mead" - the red sox to the nationals - the bartender to the viking
Nats are hoping Mead is as good to them as when he was traded previously from the Phils for Cristopher Sanchez
I love when a game/show/movie takes place in a world beyond our own and takes the time to tell you about the culture of its imagined backdrop. You can do a lot of storytelling with “this is the biggest pop band of this universe”

nothing in the world is funnier to me than "gordon's office" in hell's kitchen - like he's spending time in there, what, taking calls? filing? returning emails?

art is the most important thing in the world and nothing anybody says or does could possibly get me to stop believing that
hot take: to me the old adage of "art can't change the world" at some level just isn't true. and repeating it reflects a sense of defeat and narrowed possibilities, even if it seems totally reasonable to do so.
A lot of folks have interviewed Grant Kirkhope about the DK Rap over the years and he's had very interesting things to say! But I really wanted to talk to the guys who actually rapped it, and managed to get the "So they're finally here!" guy on a call for this:
