Nothing that tasted quite like home, unfortunately.

The whole article reads like satire.

Yep. There were literal meetings on Capitol Hill between Republicans and billionaires planning to buy the failing newspapers for more propaganda reach. I was invited and my then-boss attended.

A few selections from The Wealth of Nations (Chapters III, IV) by Adam Smith:

By the second of the rules annexed to the Act of Parliament which imposed what is now called the Old Subsidy, every merchant, whether English or alien, was allowed to draw back half that duty upon exportation; the English merchant, provided the exportation took place within twelve months; the alien, provided it took place within nine months.

As it is the interest of the freemen of a corporation to hinder the rest of the inhabitants from employing any workmen but themselves, so it is the interest of the merchants and manufacturers of every country to secure to themselves the monopoly of the home market. Hence in Great Britain, and in most other European countries, the extraordinary duties upon almost all goods imported by alien merchants.

There's a lot of gold for a 2:00 clip, but my favorite subtle part is that he appears to throw a frisbee for her to fetch at 0:55, after telling her to scram and just before telling her she has a great ass.

It's just so cool. I would love to compose a piece of music on a punch sheet for one of these--like a precursor to MIDI that's arguably superior (in that it features real, physical instruments).

Also sort of the "AI will destroy music" of the early 1900s.

Kind of random, but I've always enjoyed this. She's absolutely pitch-perfect and her voice pierces the room despite no microphone and being recorded on a crappy cell phone.

I love the hushed awe and participation of everyone in the bar. Would have been a magical moment.

The way he keeps raising his voice somehow makes it so much worse.

I would describe it as Napoleon Dynamite meets Mister Rogers directed by Wes Anderson.

It's a lovely show that got cancelled after 3 seasons, but the seasons they got were really special and worth watching. There's a very subtle, sweet storyline throughout the story that isn't immediately obvious if you just jump around via clips.

Inspired by this video, which someone posted recently.

And, yes, this is a legit showerthought!
