Then Michaelangelo fell on his back and couldn't get up, so had him paint a ceiling.

I was really hoping for “explosion” there at the end.

I never thought of using tomatos as a way to explore the themes of gender and sexual identity, but there might be something there...

I love the gremlin design. The one eye, goofy but fierce smile, batty elements, sound effects, etc. hope this isn’t the last of them.

I used android auto daily, but it has become a lot less reliable. It about 50-50 on whether it will actually start up on the car or not. Car firmware has stayed the same so Google broke something.

My brother has the same phone and cannot get it to work anymore at all. I would not be surprised if part of the drop is just due to software bugs.

So we can ban content that is claimed to be harmful to minors but not weapons that actually kill children...

Plot and pacing seem really slow and it has yet to give me a reason to keep watching. I’ll give it one more since the tease at the end seems meaningful, but I’m not feeling hopeful.

Despite all the effort spent prosecuting it, there's virtually no concrete evidence that retail theft — organized or otherwise — is on the rise. Data on retail theft provided to law enforcement and lawmakers comes exclusively from corporate retailers, or organizations funded by them, and is not independently vetted. Last year, the National Retail Federation was forced to retract its claim that organized retail theft cost its members "nearly half" of the $94.5 billion in lost inventory in 2021. One researcher put the actual figure closer to 5%.

Binged the first two episodes. It’s about 33% funny and enjoyable, 33% infuriating, and 33% nails on a chalk board. If the setup wasn’t so stupid, the mains were not such push overs, and the arguments were toned down a touch I would like it better, but as it is… looks like they are either going to gaslight each other into a relationship or endlessly bicker and neither is for me.
