My wife uses hers almost exclusively for communication with family, since it's now useless for Things She Likes, but she's gotten into the habit of looking at the "why" metrics on ads.

"Because you're a U.S. citizen 30-50 years old!" seems to be the predominant subset.

Solid use of ad spend 🤦‍♂️

She's getting rhe full celebrity treatment: caught in scandal, all too brief "exile," better job, book deal.

It should be a damn checklist at this point.

And 100% flawed.

You used to send your rookies to the mid-European countries to break them in. Now, you send them here with their training wheels.

She also suffered no real consequences for abandoning the ethics of her profession. Went dark for a few months and landed a better gig. To hell with her.

This meme deserves a comeback. Well done.

I think I paid $7.50, so yeah, not a high bar to clear for "entertainment value."

Exhausted by how many people still fail to grasp that when he says "...from cities he seems unsafe," he means, "...to cities that will bribe me."

But to your point, sure, go ahead, relocate them to some red state city with none of the infrastructure or audience and see how well it goes.

He was so wickedly good in Found.

He also had a small bit part in the Will Trent premiere around thr same time that he just crushed.

Yeah, I always liked it for that reason. You get the clear view of an iconic uniform, but also a layer that says, "The Avengers are here."

(And also, that cape wasn't doing anyone any favors.

I'd straight up duel you, Highlander style.

on this day in 1926 Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne is first published.

“I knew when I met you an adventure was going to happen.”

“Sometimes,' said Pooh, 'the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”

“The things that make me different are the things that make me.”

Don't undersell that! ASL interpreters are amazing!

I did a presentation once and someone had their sign language interpreter there to translate. I made sure to talk about how fucking cool that skill was and thanked them for being willing to help share my nonsense rambling.

Nailed it.

However, a good backdoor pilot episode solves the problem outlined by the OP, even though I agree a casual appearance by someone from the flagship cast helps with continuity and audience investment.
