FOFO(X)?
I get that we now exist in a world of immediate gratification, where clicks and likes carry disproportionate weight even if we can’t really verify if they came from a human. Considering a growing amount of the content that’s being reacted to also may not be of human origin, I suppose that’s appropriate. But as
Revisionist Her-Story?
If you ever had a shred of doubt as to whether or not sex sells, witness the outsized attention that has been paid this week to the otherwise ignored podcast LISA GUERRERO UNLEASHED, yet another media personality who recently reached her expiration date after an impressive 18-year reinvention as a self-described “warrior” frequently covering stories
Mellonville Forever
I have only one complaint about the otherwise wonderful homage to what I’d contend was, appropriately, the second best late night comedy series to ever exist. Calling it SCTV: THE GREATEST SHOW YOU NEVER HEARD OF is an assumption I’d never make on a generation with far too much ability to Google any burning question
Death Of A Salesman
On a day where the passings of Captain Picard and Bob Hope’s German-born bombshell were both widely reported on just about every entertainment news site one could imagine , the completion of the proverbial “death often comes in threes” adage was first reported on a Reddit board dedicated to a goofy 90s late night cable
Happy Days Are Here Again?
NOTE: This musing also appears today on our sister site The Double Overtime. Please visit it regularly for coverage of sports of all sorts plus regular essays on business and technology. It’s hard not to be in a good mood today–yes, even me. The sun, at least for now, is shining and temperatures are moderate.

My ex was an unapologetic addict who attended many tapings while quasi-working on the Warner Brothers lot, becoming a familiar enough presence to gain floor access and knew exactly where to sit in the bleachers so her distinct laughter would be easily identified by even
If This Doesn’t Work, Maybe Offer Free Candy?
On their first official day on the job, most new hires typically go through an onboarding process and sometimes a pizza party to celebrate their arrival. I’d like to think Peter Rice got slightly better cuisine from Netflix yesterday commensurate with his position. But he also got to deal with the public reaction to what
Evan Shapiro Doesn’t Need Our Help. But At Least I’m Willing To Thank Him.
I’m an unapologetic supporter of all things Evan Shapiro, full stop. I’m already on record as labeling him one of the more influential and honest brokers and truth-tellers of media measurement on the planet and one of the more influential and honest brokers and truth-tellers of media measurement on the planet. So any more praise
You Really Expected Politicians To Fight Fair? Remember, It’s A Living.
Let’s get one thing straight right off the top: In my very humble opinion, Vivek Ramaswamy is a thoroughly unqualified, opportunistic scumbag. I had that opinion long before his handlers chose to make the clearly Stockholm Syndrome-suffering mother of his opponent for the governorship of Ohio, Dr. Amy Acton, the face of his campaign that
