Hot take: I agree the Cracker Barrel logo redesign sucks but also so does Cracker Barrel.
HOLLYWOOD PITCH: a Sopranos spinoff where it's just Paulie and Christopher doing things. Paulie and Christopher get Chinese food. Paulie and Christopher put together an Ikea bookshelf. Paulie and Christopher can't remember where they parked the car and now it's raining. It's all gold.
Put it in the bin.
Since around 1994, yeah.

I generally enjoy The Verge's tech coverage and they have some great writers working there but the Decoder podcast is an embarrassment.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
That's an embarrassingly low bar. I prefer to aim higher.
She really was, yes.
Was there? That's just conjecture. Believe me, I'm not enjoying our rapid decent into fascism, but I remain unconvinced Kamala would have changed much. Because of the things she campaigned on.
Jacob I didn't watch your video because I want to go into the game knowing as little as possible and I haven't bought the game because I am poor but I love your work!
Harris campaigned on increasing police funding and continuing to build Trump's wall. She has never been on the record as pro Palestine.
