Boy, either I was greatly misled by the trailers or I just have no idea what "mumblecore" or "for the TikTok generation" means

The new film “Hamnet” offers up a vision of William Shakespeare as “Marlon Brando in Elizabethan drag,” writes Drew Lichtenberg. While this character may appeal to some, it “played to me like mumblecore Shakespeare, conceived for the TikTok generation.”

Opinion | ‘Hamnet’ Reimagines Shakespeare for the TikTok Generation
Our love of his plays have led to a centuries-long fascination with the writer. So why does each new fictional iteration get his life so wrong?

Look for quality, freshness and flavor. They're the magic words for pork. If you want to do your family a favor, serve New England pressed fresh pork.

Eminem and Jack White performing together! The closest we have come to this moment is when Jimmy Fallon did a dual parody of "Without Me" and "Fell in Love with a Girl" at the 2002 VMAs

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

I just accidentally hit play on a song on Spotify, hit "back" and it returned me to the song I had been playing.

I don't know how this billboard means this but I like to believe it's adversarial, like a "We must outdo the Soviets" kind of deal

Can't believe they announced who it was and no one told me. It was Nelly Furtado, which is absolutely who I thought it was gonna be. My second guess was Avril but they weren't going to induct two pop-punk acts back to back after Sum 41 this year
odds for the Canadian Music Hall of Fame's next inductee:
most likely: Avril Lavigne, Nelly Furtado, Michael Buble, Simple Plan
mid-tier: Sloan or Matthew Good or one of those only-in-Canada acts
dark horse: Feist, Rufus Wainwright
guaranteed induction if she finally agrees to show up: Celine Dion

I just cannot get on board with "Underneath the Tree." Every time I hear it, I expect it to get drowned out two words in with a voiceover saying "It's a holiday sales extravaganza at Macy's!" or something

ChatGPT feeds me reams of bullshit, but good news everyone, I'm not going to remember it anyway
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
