A show about empire that pretends to contend with empire. There are a lot of things to like about the show. But after I watched 'Coup' (S03, E05) the other night, I went to the Wikipedia page for Lord Mountbatten, the central character of the episode, and was immediately floored by his role in t...

So funky and fun. The kind of record that works great as background/party music but also reveals a lot with headphones and concentration. Herbie made the genius move to record a jazz/funk album without electric guitar - this simple modification to the standard sonic template creates unexpected s... Read more »

I was deciding between this and the All-Clad immersion blender. This was half the price and came with a couple accessories, including a 20 ounce beaker that I use all the time. While I don't have any regrets about my purchase, I do wish it were slightly more attractive/minimally designed.

“That wasn’t Michael Jordan out there. That was God disguised as Michael Jordan.”

Having intense flashbacks to being a basketball-playing kid in the '90s and how much Jordan's severe competitiveness kind of infected my whole generation's collective psychology—for better or worse. We might've ... Read more »

At your funeral came up on shuffle at work today and I decided the album was worth a revisit. For me, this album is a pretty good emotional placeholder for 2001. At the time, I was trying so hard to win over an old middle school crush who turned up at NYU art school after years of me wondering ... Read more »

Kind of wild this was the first time Cocteau Twins was used in a TV show or movie

These are fine I guess. Cheap and well enough made, just not the most flattering for my body type (Dad Bod). Beware if you're rocking the same!

Disclaimer. I knew NOTHING about Pokémon going in apart from the name Pikachu and Charmander, and that’s just because my kid suddenly became obsessed with Pokémon because some kid in his preschool turned him on it. I went to make my kid happy. I expected nothing. It delivered a lot more. Dec... Read more »

Totemic. Rajiv picked this up at the neighborhood barbershop/used record store yesterday. Funny how the only IRL record shopping I've done since the before times has been at the coffeeshop/used record store on the other side of the neighborhood. But I digress, despite never purchasing this on my... Read more »

While not always 100 percent spot on temperature wise, it’s essential for my home pizzeria aspirations and most of the time gets the job done.

Exploring my childhood via Disney Plus, I guess. I fast-forwarded through all of the song and dance numbers, because it's my least favorite kind of musical. But it's such a curio -- a movie about a youth labor uprising produced by a studio whose founder was staunchly anti-union? Towards the end,... Read more »

The first record I think of when I'm driving around a tropical island.

I read that the chef Alex Raij uses this at all her restaurants and it has become my go-to olive oil in the house for dressings, dips, and finishing duties. Admirable quality-to-price ratio, for sure.
