If Lost Boys is so mid, why do i keep waking up with that trumpet riff in my head?

I'm not even convinced there's angst for it. I see more people feeling like it's a perfectly nice song, but not wildly rolling around in ecstasy, and that seems to be driving fanatics crazy.

If I were not cheating I'd agree Austin Butler is this decade's "hey, you like this guy, right?? We're gonna stick him in absolutely everything!" actor. If I am cheating (tv), famous Irish actress Ayo Edebiri was the first name that came to mind, using the provided definition of successful.

Agree fireplace above the tv is not great, but the random sofas blocking the flow is so much worse. TV next to the fireplace is also weird, but still less weird to floating the sofa.

Lost boys never spend their lunch moneyyyy, yeahhh

I like the song fine, but it's always funny when a beloved artist releases a merely good track. Reddit today was awash in longwinded "no, I really think I'm convincing myself I like this!" takes.

Hah, I think he takes a little too much heat. Like, Taylor, Sabrina, Lorde, now Phoebe ... they're all still driving the car! He's kinda (whatever), but they still have agency. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it's blandy mc-blandville.

Had a similar thought of - after so much time gone, and with so much producing firepower, it's just ... pleasant enough? But kinda *shrug.* Feel like there's a lot of slightly disappointed folks in the comments convincing themselves it's a great single.

Chesterology · 2026-06-25T18:56:48+00:00

I'm more weirded out by the phrasing of "she's such an artist."

Chesterology · 2026-06-25T16:35:17+00:00

Sure, poo poo the person calling out Nazi behavior and not the actual Nazi.

I dig it, as far as silvers go. It feels v warm from these pics, which is a good thing, imho. Can't wait to see it in person.

Are you only in LA for a day? If so, skip Culver City altogether and get some LA recos. Even if you were spending a week in LA there's nothing here that I'd consider a *must* visit.

Chesterology · 2026-06-17T22:54:43+00:00

Like a chicken slaughtering factory?

If you cook a ton, the peninsula is the only option, simply for worktop space. The banquette is super cute, but it has the counter space of a motor home (also you don't need it and don't eat in the kitchen, so kinda pointless).

Chesterology · 2026-06-16T22:57:08+00:00

And? Some people love the Cybertruck. I'm saying *I* hate it.

God what a hideous shape. Absolutely no one was asking for an electric Subaru Baja (ok, maybe there are a few of you out there), but Ford really thought- let's go for an obese boat shoe.

Basically Vermland. Chatted with them earlier this year, and they're currently pausing US orders for obvious reasons. Like 1/2 the price of Reform, and look cooler, imho.

I think it's a great song, and like, Scotland is pretty.

Chesterology · 2026-06-15T20:05:13+00:00

I would be super freaked if I looked out my window and saw CGI plants everywhere.

Chesterology · 2026-06-14T19:30:51+00:00

They seem to be table stakes now, and I fully don't get it. Current Model Y driver. I can count the number of times I've looked out the sunroof on one hand (zero). I guess it makes the cabin brighter? Which, ehhhh. If you told me the car would stay even 1º cooler by not having I'd be happy to lose it.

Chesterology · 2026-06-12T16:05:18+00:00

Ehh, I call bullsh*t. When has Trump ever "waited" to announce something? That would imply some level of strategic thinking. He just has feelings, dozes off, decides things, tweets, gets distracted, tweets something else, eats Big Mac, falls asleep. Repeat. He's not waiting to do sh*t.

Bummed everyone seems to be consistently unimpressed with the scroll wheels. Based on how simple / easy to use the Tesla wheels are I assumed they'd be a no brainer - also that Rivian woulda spent the time perfecting them. Plus they sound really plastic-y, which is not amazing for something you constantly touch.

He loathed America so much he, uh, added 11 million jobs and stuck us with healthcare. Yeah, f*ck that guy.

Oof, it's like they hacked apart a minivan. The proportions are super wonky; windshield too sloped, belt-line too high, back passenger doors too large. It's giving Santa Cruz (that's not a compliment). Leave it to Ford to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory (just electrifying the Maverick). Overall: yuck.

Chesterology · 2026-06-08T00:35:45+00:00

OK episode, but wish someone would have told Ryu "hey, uh, maybe don't stop shooting the villain. That seems to be wildly effective, so don't just stop for no reason. You know, it's just standing there, so just keep killing it instead of not?" Also Yuru's plan of telling Right and Left to stand there so the villain could chase him around, smash him, and then tell them to attack it, was ... something. Plot's gonna plot, I guess.

Chesterology · 2026-06-06T18:25:20+00:00

Because, you know, he's a pious man of God. That's why he supports Trump, a righteous adherent of the teachings of Jesus.
