  • This would be hilarious if it just popped up in the middle of a show for no reason. They’re buying bread, and all the bags have these huge clips, no one says anything, they put the bread in the cart, scan it, take it home and put it in the pantry next to other bread with big clips, and the show continues as if nothing happened.

    Then in the series finale, they mention it.

    “You, know, it’s just weird, like the big clips on the bread.”

    “Right.”






  • My solution was one of these on a swing arm lamp clamped to my headboard. I habitually turn off the overhead light before I get in bed and turn on the reading lamp. I’ve had the same lamp for almost 50 years. My high school girlfriend wrote her name on the inside of the shade, so, I’d see it at night. It’s still there. I’ve used it to read in bed all that time.

    I don’t need a remote or a phone app to handle this.











  • Doesn’t matter, the worm is in your brain, and you know or are reminded the product exists. That’s all they’re aiming for.

    Also, a lot of people think they’re immune to advertising. No one is. The only protection is never seeing them.

    On the very rare occasion I choose to watch some media with an ad I can’t skip, I mute the volume and put my hand over my eyes, so I can just see a corner of the screen and know when it’s over.



  • You’re right, the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s all had distinct styles. That started fading in the 90s, and unless you look closely, the nearly three decades since are all very similar.

    I think we can rightly blame capitalism for homogenizing our culture, and spreading it around the world. And, even if we can’t, I still will, and also fuck Mark Zuckerberg just because I haven’t said it yet today.
