Don't forget shows about prison gangs. I was raised in a PBS family. We frequently watched National Geographic, Nature, and Nova. We also subscribed to the National Geographic magazine and the kid's version. It's disappointing that NatGeo has plunged into reality TV and programming focused on...

I'm surprised they haven't asked you for proof of ancestry dating back to 1750. I also think that the marathons got started with Deadliest Catch, Mythbusters, and American Chopper. Before those shows came along marathons were usually reserved for special events such as PBS fundraisers. It's...

Finally finished the Last of Us finale. I've not played the video games so I have no idea how faithful the TV adaptation is. I'm just disappointed that the protagonist is going all murderhobo like his counterparts in any number of zombie franchises.

The day I defended my dissertation, I baked a batch of loaded chocolate cookies. Baking is therapeutic for me and I kept rehearsing as followed the recipe. It allowed me to focus and bled off most of the stress. The defense went well. Best of luck!

I bought my wife some NCAA earbuds from Amazon. The instructions were written in badly worded Engrish and the earbuds didn't work. I requested a replacement and they sent it in a freakin' sandwich bag.

For the Mandalorian season 3 premiere, I used the Galaxy’s Edge cookbook and made Mustafaran lava buns, glowblue noodles, and golden lichen.

My op-ed has been read 1300 times and is now the most popular opinion piece on my university’s website. I never thought bashing white nationalists and DeSantis would translate to career growth.

I appreciate that he's busy with an ailing parent. I won't even pretend to understand what that's like. Still, he hasn't kept up a regular schedule in years.

I actually wrote an op-ed for my university about that. I never thought I'd put "Florida Man" in a title for my work.

I find it beyond contemptible that DeSantis and his supporters whine non-stop about "cancel culture" when people scold them for being openly racist bigots.

I enjoyed last night's The Last of Us. I just had one minor quibble. They were in a video arcade from 2003 and there wasn't a single Dance Dance Revolution platform in sight. You can't have a complete early aughts arcade experience without DDR.

I was grading my students' papers the other day (they were due two weeks before) and saw that one of them was just a blank pdf document (this was an online assignment). I gave it a zero. In class yesterday, the student approached me and said she had just sent the wrong file, and asked if she...

At long last, I submitted my article on New Zealand UN peacekeepers. I had been working on it for two years. I got this in my inbox two days ago.

I'd say at least 30 million Americans fall into that category. If they still believe that Trump won in 2020 and that Putin is an upright Christian, they are effectively in a cult.

I can guarantee that 90% of my wife's family voted for that demagogue. They think their way of life is dying and that DeSantis will fight to save it.

The two troublemakers are taking a break.

Well butter my biscuit! I love Ted Lasso, especially those three hecklers at the pub. There's that scene where they are still giving Ted a hard time and one of them says, "it's pretty cool that a Premier League gaffer is on a first-name basis with us."

I just finished Vox Machina season two. It’s great and I don’t want to wait another year for the third one.

Apparently the usual suspects are whining that Last of Us has “gone woke.” They review bombed the episode, just like they did with Rings of Power, Captain Marvel, and She-Hulk. I look forward to seeing their heads explode when this episode gets an Emmy. Maybe they’ll finally get that coronary.

I'm halfway through that episode right now. That survivalist reminded me of someone and I just couldn't quite put my finger on it. Then it hit me. He's that universe's version of Burt Gummer.
