And then on top of that, I found myself basically hating every person on the show. I liked Andy. Ron was fine, even though they leaned WAY too hard into his schtick. But most everybody else I couldn’t stand. Everyone loves Jean Ralphio, for example, and I thought he was straight up awful every time he was on the show and made me want to turn it off. April was such a try hard miserable person that she wasn’t even a real person to me. Tom was too over the top too. Ann was okay I guess. And Adam Scott too. But for the most part everybody on the show was a caricature, not a character, if that makes sense.

I laughed here and there, and generally enjoyed it at a low level. But It just isn’t laugh out loud funny to me. Owners near as good (or as clever) as The Office. (And one gripe I have about The Office was how caricature-y everyone became eventually in the later seasons).

I always couldn't explain what was a little off about parks and rec vs the ofice, but I think you nailed it. That's pretty much why I didn't love P&R and also why I didn't love the last few seasons of The Office.

I also don't love Amy Poehler either.

I didn’t like parks and rec much at first, mainly because it was on at the same time as the office and was vastly inferior. And the first season was not great. But I gave it another chance and ended up liking it. It was very good but I don’t agree that it’s some GOAT comedy.

Weezer has released its 20th studio album today, The Gold Album.

I've given it a couple of listens and am liking it a lot. I'm a pretty big Weezer fan, but don't like their whole catalog. They put out some great albums then can put out some real stinkers. Blue and Pinkerton are great, but I didn't really like their output until Everything Will Be Alright In the End and the White Album. I also liked Ok Human and Van Weezer. The SZNS album series was a novel idea but it was pretty awful overall IMO. This new album has more of a Pinkerton vibe...so if you are a fan of that one, you may like this one.

Full album is on youtube.

He does not sound like an angel but that has no relevance to what happened, which is why it was sealed.

I've never heard them referred to as "jellybean". I wasn't a fan of the look of these.

So what is the point of the stylized cover? Are you trying to sell that version instead of your own?

He asked me, "would you want to be the last carpenter that refused to use a nail gun or electric saw?"

The nail gun and the saw are the banjo and the fiddle in your example. But still, I don't think it's a good analogy to compare the creative process a human does in music (or carpentry) to inserting AI into the creative process. The tools themselves don't create. You are the creator. But when you allow AI to do even some of the creating, then your work isn't fully your own any more.

Damn, $200 a person? Seems like you could go to a pretty nice place and spend that much or less.

There are plenty of gender reassignment options. South Park went over this over a decade ago. You can even become a dolphin if you like.

It will still be pretty damn hot and may get some sun at kickoff in the east uppers for Clemson. I would get tickets in the west uppers.
