It would be nice to see Miki get some crossover success, mostly because she rules but also because I'm imagining people listening and not being able to understand a word but suddenly going "Wait, that's how you pronounce 'Oneohtrix'?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw1e...

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.
So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

The thing about The White Lotus going to France is that last season I was very stoked about the prosecutor from Anatomy Of A Fall being the hotel manager before realizing he was a different but nearly identical guy (Stream La Maison on Apple TV+!)
