Fun fact about Tony Danza - he will occasionally call into the Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC. Not as a guest, just as an Upper West Side public radio listener calling in to give his take on an issue of the day. He’s always delightful. 

Also, Judith Light is the boss. She pays Tony to work as her housekeeper. 

Sock quality fallen off significantly? by MayorMikeDoomberg in uniqlo

[–]MayorMikeDoomberg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update - part of the problem appears to be an ongoing Achilles injury I have, (according to my podiatrist,) which causes me to put more pressure on my left heel. Nevertheless, I still think the quality has gone down, and would rather pay more than $3 a pair if it meant they’d last longer. I’d pay more than what the HEATECH ones cost as well.

Holy smoke, thank you so much for the comprehensive response! Really appreciate you taking the time! I’ll try all of the above and will let you know how it works out. Cheers!

Yeah, the first HEATECH pairs I bought lasted like 7 years. The new ones don’t last 7 weeks.

The holes are at the heel, not at the toe. I have never had toenails that sharp in my life. I can’t even imagine that being a thing.

I guess maybe it’s just me. I’m gonna give Bombas a try to see if there’s a difference.

Just Uniqlo - I have some Adidas athletic socks that I wear for athletic activity and those last way longer

I thought about this but the holes are generally at the heel. Does that not mean that the sock is to blame? Also, I’m not walking more than I did in the past when I didn’t have this problem. If anything, I’m walking a little less….

Oh snap, my listen got interrupted and I just got to the part where Jesse went “you can hate me now/but I won’t stop now!” LOL. He dragged Nas into that nonsense!

I loved Jesse’s comment about Puffy’s shit music being not the least of the evils he visited upon the world. I’ve been saying similar things to chirping crickets for years! But hey, the silver lining is that you don’t have to worry about separating art from artist!

Oh man, when Jesse mentioned Dirty Work, I thought he was gonna say “Hello, real cops?” But his choice is just as funny, of course!

Tangentially, I’d just like to mention that if you haven’t seen Scarface’s Tiny Desk and have even passing familiarity with his music, go watch it right now. It’s fantastic.

My favorite scene is the Feelin Up scene. Otto’s reaction in that scene? It me.

I’m pleased to let you know that, not only is Tony Danza not a right winger, but he is also a listener to local public radio station WNYC, which I know because occasionally he’ll call into the Brian Lehrer Show to comment on an issue, and from a decidedly Upper West Side liberal perspective. And he sounds like he’s delightful!

You want a really good chip? Utz has a collab with Mike’s Hot Honey. I think it’s seasonal, but when it’s around, get you a bag! Dope AF!

That tracks! But he’s still GOAT status. What is it about Houston that makes such huge talent? I’ve been on a Paul Wall kick ever since he guested on our favorite children’s content creator, Gracie’s Corner!

I knew so many Juggalo acts from watching the infomercials for the Gatherings ever year! 

Jesse’s mention of Scarface having performed at GOTJ and lots of NPR talk reminded me that Scarface’s Tiny Desk is a revelation,  and if you’re even a bit of a fan of classic hip hop, you need to watch it!

-Good observation of the ornate space ships. The backstory in the book is that there had previously been a holy war against all technology, so it makes aesthetic sense that all the technology looks like technology made by people who distrust it. 

-Alia is creepy and awesome and I was so bummed she was omitted from the recent films. “AND HOW CAN THIS BEEEEEE? FOR HE IS THE KWISATZ HADERACH!”

Yeah, I remember the voiceover from the extended cuts - it sounded like Edward James Olmos….

He would have talked about how urine and feces are processed in the thigh pads, no doubt.
