Wait? It's spelled 'diphthong'? Why did no one tell me?

The warning fuss is absurd. They don't know what they want. They don't understand what cancellation is. These people also want US History taught with less emphasis on slavery and indian removal. Isn't that censoring the bad from the kids? Plus, Disney owns this. They aren't cancelling anyone, if an...

I've only seen 1-6 so far.

My answer... I don't know yet. Maybe both? I'm really enjoying it either way. And I like the idea of limited run series like this in the MCU.

I'd love to hear what everyone thinks so far.

Naw. Kile. One syllable. But I get that the long i is a dipthong (two vowels blended into a single syllable), so it is natural that many pronounce it with the vowels slightly drawn out so they separate into two syllables. I pronounce Kyle as two syllables when I'm putting emphasis on it, so I get it.

Friday.

I adore the song Part Time Lover. I have a very distinctive memory of 10th grade. I had just dropped Kyle at junior high, and had to navigate through a few residential blocks to turn around to go to school myself. Several mornings in a row, the combination of sun in my eyes and frost building on the...

Hey! Did someone say, "meh"?

I remember how "important" that song and movie seemed at the time. I feel like it's kind of pablum now. The whole experience left me disappointed. I looked forward to this new brat pack movie thinking it'd be Breakfast Club 2. But instead, it was a mediocre movie about often-unlikable 20-...

Good morning!

I remember our local radio station aired a version of this song that changed the spoken-word interlude to make explicit reference to Omaha (where the station was located). It was weird.

Nope. Nostalgia does nothing to cover the corporate rock cheese factor of this one for me.

Yay Walrus!

And kudos to Kyle for winning the Most Appropriate GIF award! Again!

That was great analysis, Pete. Thank you!

My day is better for it.

I think Madonna's Like A Virgin was the first album I bought with my own money.

Agreed!

I am no expert here, but a common theme I have heard is that the genesis of this for Republicans was the civil rights movement. Republicans could have chosen to support civil rights and court the black vote, but instead, they let JFK and the Democrats take that ground and decided to court the disaff...

oOoOO! Alt goes mainstream... and thus, you know, wandered into my uncultured field of view.

Great song

Great song!

Also, one of the Top 20 Most 80's Videos of all time.

When this first came out, the rap intro was my favorite part, and the rest was just ordinary.

Used to be my favorite song.

Always liked it. Never loved it.

1. The Fifth Element

Hellz yeah!

My wife loves this as much as I did, and she was caught up in wanting to know what the symbol on the key was. I dismissed it as, "I don't know... looks like a old rune. Probably something white supremacists have adopted." And in the end, I was right as far as it went, but that wasn't good ...

From Kyle back in June 2020... Becky- What did I just see? For real. It's a home invasion movie with Kevin James as a terrifying white supremacist that escapes from prison. He terrorizes Becky and her family- which consists of Becky's Dad (played by Joel McHale), Dad's fiance and her son. You see, B...

That's wonderful! My favorite sauce.

Instant Pot Ground Pork and Pasta Ingredients 1/4 cup peanut butter creamy 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons sambal oelek (chile paste) 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar packed 2 tablespoons peanut oil 1 pound ground pork lea...

This slaps! Did you get this from your kids? One of my kids, that's pretty much all she says. Yes. That is the first time I have used that phrase, and it felt horribly awkward. I took it from my millennial child, who is 26. I was originally going to say "She definitely bops", but then I r...

This slaps!

Awesome.

Sweet and mournful. Beautiful.

I feel like this is a cheesy song, but I can't tell, because my nostalgia loves it so much.

Eh. Generic pop.

Obsessed with this song, I was. Love it!

Yes. That's what he was arrested for a year ago... He banged her with a chair. A dispute over some money he hadn't paid her. Wow.

Still like the song.

Stevie Wonder's a musical genius!
--Eddie Murphy, Delirious

Completely understood. I'm with you.

Oh dang! I got confused and thought this was Rosanna. But that's Toto. Rosanna rocks. Joanna... meh.

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about either of them. Bless you.

Prince can do no wrong.

Curse you, Pete! When will I learn that I can't compete with you on anything music related?

Orientated. No... the correct word is oriented. But orientated has been reverse engineered from orientation, and now the two words have different meanings. Oriented retains the "I've gotten my bearings" meaning, and orientated covers "I've been trained." I get all that, but the w...

Ah yes... Jack Be Nimble. My favorite classic pop song about jumping.

The previous administration spent 2 trillion dollars to ensure that Amazon and FedEx pay less in taxes than I do. I personally feel that the rich should pay a higher proportion of their wealth/income in taxes than the middle class, but even if they just paid the same as the middle class, it would be...

This song is what made me love Cyndi Lauper. Beautiful.

Never been a fan of this one. Nowadays, all Duran Duran is nostalgic, so I enjoy them on that level, but none of their songs were ever big favorites of mine.

Good morning, Kyle!

That's the way to start a day!

Rush Limbaugh. 70.

Good morning!
