Though, to be honest, we stray from that subject and get into others subjects of interest. Such as! * Rob Mahoney thinks “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is bad . Fair? * Smells Like Teen Spirit changed everything * What was the last great movie? * Why, exactly, Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red White and Blue” became a hit again two decades later * The cognitive dissonance for White Liberals seeing people who look and talk like them having different politics * McDonald’s as blue collar space * Sherman could plausibly be from half the world * I’m mesmerized by how different the Canadians are * Sports media’s been socially pressured into softness * The laudable grandiosity of Timothée Chalamet * The theory behind YouTube athletic stars * Is more fictional content political or are we just more sensitive to political messages? * Who are the ALL TIME “Pretendian” actors
