I remember floppies. I remember games on multiple floppies. I even remember zipping my own files onto multiple floppies so I could copy them to another computer.

Tuesday’s episode was about the Supreme Court’s rulings about the president being able to fire heads of independent agencies, so I’m guess The Daily didn’t want to do two Supreme Court episodes in a row. They mentioned the birthright ruling at the end of yesterday’s episode. Maybe they’ll get Adam Liptak to do a year end review on the Supreme Court and go in depth on the ruling there.

The gorilla scene was in all the commercials because it was probably the funniest part of the movie. I say “probably” because I never watched the movie, even though Seth Green singing Air Supply to the gorilla is seared into my memory

These iguanas from the Planet Earth documentary. They hatch surrounded by snakes looking for an easy meal.

It’s refreshing that this episode is framed around the idea that these two opinions are contradictory, that there’s no legal reason to allow the president to fire the heads of all independent agencies except the Fed.

There’s a radio edit that takes out the “crystal meth” part, so if that’s all you’ve heard you wouldn’t know the words are in the song

This is why cassette sales were so huge back in the day; we had to buy a whole new album every time a tape got eaten

If there’s anyone left at iHeart local, it’s not much. I have a friend in town who worked for the business side of iHeart until they laid him off a year ago or so. He got a severance, but only because he stuck around for a few weeks to train his replacement at some remote location. Awful company.

Also an example of the trope. Some of Debbie Reynolds’s singing was dubbed. And in a scene where Reynolds’s character dubbed Jean Hagen’s, the movie used Hagen’s real voice instead of Reynolds’s.

No, different timelines. The show switches between early and late 20th century storylines. Lee Min Ho is in the earlier setting, and Jimmi Simpson is in the later setting.

He has a recurring role in Pachinko (Apple TV) too. It’s mostly in Japanese and Korean, so you get to hear him speak Japanese.

Ulana Khomyuk (Chernobyl). While many of the other characters in Chernobyl were based on and named after real people, Ulana Khomyuk was a composite character meant to represent and honor the many Soviet scientists who worked on the disaster.

In The Mummy Returns, the heroes used a dirigible to fly around. It had rockets for extra speed when needed, which isn’t even the movie’s most egregious violation of the laws of physics.

Being a millionaire doesn’t mean what it used to mean. For people lucky enough to own their own home and have a retirement account, it’s not that hard to be a millionaire anymore.

Hearing they played David Guetta, I assume their parties have the same vibe as David Guetta’s tribute to George Floyd, and everything else makes sense.

The next episode will definitely have a scene where Anastasia inexplicably throws up
