I chuckled.  Boston accent.

I'd never seen the video to Al Jarreau's Mornin', but I'm glad I've watched it now.

This makes me sad. Why is she correcting herself

This makes me sad. Why is she correcting herself

I assume because she want to have a career in TV.

It's not the 70s anymore.

I'd be interested to hear your point if you have one to make.

Meaning insisting that newsreaders should not have regional accents is a relic from the 70s. I'd like to think we've largely moved on, but I might be wrong.

Not on this side of the pond. Unless maybe you want to work for local news I guess. Wouldn't make it to the big leagues.

Play by play of Wittmann at Villers-Bocage.

An ancient American TV show with minimal budget giving a really pretty interesting beginners look at linguistics. No big things I didn't know before but some interesting little side facts. Really hard to imagine such a show today.

There's been some controversy (because there always is) about the Fallout series on Amazon supposedly retconning the lore of previous games (esp. the infamous blackboard - if you know, you know ).

I think Many A True Nerd has a decent view of things and how/why they make sense. I'm mostly reminded of controversies like when the Mandalorian TV show introduced Mandalorians never removing helmets and parts of the fandom losing their shit - only for it to be explained later.

So I've seen a whole ton of Conan O'Brien stuff on social media.  You almost wondered if he had died or something - but no he did an appearance on chicken wing talk show Hot Ones which was really quite funny.    From Conan stuffing chicken wings in his pocket, to bringing out his "personal physician" to check on him, to chugging hot sauce at the end, he brought it.

The John Oliver one was good, as well.
