I'm about to try making a version of a square (Sicilian or grandma) style pizza. I hope it goes well, though at worst... it'll still be pizza.

I hate that we've had humans fly by the moon for the first time in 50+ years, seeing perspectives that we've never seen before, and yet the unprecedented views are mixed in with A.I. slop because some other humans can't be satisfied with the simple beauty of reality.

If Arthur Conan Doyle had named his detective a more common name - at least from the perspective of modern USA residents - would that name have become a way to mock someone's lack of knowledge or awareness? Would we have said, "No shit, Shaun"?

In The Big Bang Theory S3E12, in reference to the Glendale Galleria, someone says an event will take place "in the center court near Macy's." But Penney's is in the center court, not Macy's. Factual error!
