Howard Stern Now Suffers From Premature Eject-ulation
When the news began to appear of Howard Stern’s departure from Sirius XM began appearing in an uncomfortably frequent series of alerts earlier this week, I knew darn well this was going to become yet another partially snuffed out blunt on the dumpster fire of cultural discourse. The always reliable and truth-telling U.S. SUN and
What’s The Price Of Freedom Of Choice? Apparently, $13 A Day For Now
Yesterday was a particularly busy day for the fine folks in the strategic planning departments of the various entities of the Walt Disney Company. All resulting in a pretty newsworthy earnings call where a lot more was discussed besides whether or not Bob Iger literally phoned it in from his yacht or not. POCKET LINT’s
No, The Messenger Shouldn’t Have Been Fired. But The Data Science Specialist Kinda Deserved It.
Let me establish right here and now that I’m never happy when someone loses their job, no matter who it is or what particular circumstances may have lead to it. Unlike certain fascist farters who have built their “brand” upon it, the words “you’re fired” do nothing but further upset my ever-churning stomach. That said,
The Left Coast Commute Takes A Right
I grew up in a New York Post household long before it became associated inexorably with the color red. The Post was THE afternoon paper during my youth, which meant it actually had the West Coast box scores and updated standings that all but the very last-delivered editions of the Daily News had, and on
A Hill To Revive On
It’s easy to understand why it’s been 15 years since we last spent some quality time with KING OF THE HILL. Sure, it was a de facto hit for FOX, running for 13 years as a part of what was once appointment television on Sunday nights. And particularly in the era where it was the
Forget Epstein. I Want The Penske Files!
NOTE: This musing also appears today on our sister site, TheDoubleOvertime. Please visit it regularly for coverage of sports of all sorts plus occasional essays on business and technology. I don’t know about you, but I’ve honestly gotten over a good deal of the curiosity about those damn Epstein files, no matter who might or
And Just Like That, These Women Are Leaving. For Good?
I admit I was a little lost this past Thursday night when for the first time in weeks I didn’t have an new episode of HBO MAX’s AND JUST LIKE THAT… to provide me with a brief respite from the reality I otherwise endure. Yes, I’m a straight white single older male but I’m also
This Gun Has Been Successfully Reloaded. And It’s Not Even Naked.
I needed something stupid funny like breath in the summer of 1982. My grandmother had recently passed a mere 14 months after her husband did, proving at least to me conclusively that even elderly people can die of a broken heart. It did leave me with an opportunity to squat in her apartment, giving me
Surprise. A Semi-Autonomous Carr Doesn’t Crash.
I can’t imagine it’s easy being Brendan Carr these days. He’s only one of five commissioners serving the Federal Communications Commission these days, but he’s undoubtedly the most prominent and polarizing. Sort of comes with the territory when you’ve emerged as the de facto hatchet man for the “game plan” that your exceptionally media-obsessed and
