An underappreciated improvement in the world is how YouTube comments used to be the stupidest place on the internet and now somehow the top comment is always a pretty funny joke, a fascinating episode from someone’s life, or the most heartbreakingly poignant shit you ever heard

I often sing “Mowing The Weeds of Looove. Weeds of Looove 🎶” (Tears for Fears) to myself, as I mow the lawn.

I always appreciated the musical guests you guys had. Just before seeing this, I was revisiting The Strokes performance of “Soma” on Late Night. The first time ever I heard them was that performance, and it's still one of my favorite songs. Also discovered Super Furry Animals via Late Night.

Never seen this one. That was so great. They’re just babies there.

Seems like it would be pretty savvy for all comedians to have price lists for topics that you want them to avoid.

But Ethan Hawke is not playing Elora’s dad. Are we going to have an identical twin situation? This is getting very soapy.

Panda Bear is somewhere in this picture. Can you find him?

Same here. I got the kids watches with cell service instead of phones. Was worried they were going to disallow those. So far, it's been okay.

Dave Schafer @dlschafer.bsky.social · 26d

Yeah. I've got two kids in 9th grade. I’m all for not having phones in class, but the device ban combined with stuff like this makes for some serious anxiety.
