1.) Your restaging of “Game of Thrones” in the pastel American 1980s will be called “A Song of Miami Vice and Fire”.

2.) Today I learned: frothing milk for lattes and cappuccinos is surprisingly different left and right-handed.

3.) I once took a prize in an elementary Halloween contest because my dad made me an astronaut helmet with a Matt’s beer ball. Pool tubing and two 3-litre Pepsi bottles as the air packs. We were cool like that.

4.) Aren’t racist pamphlets really just MAGA-zines?

5.) The only really bad thing about how god-awful the Washington Nationals have been thus far is that it probably makes that douchecanoe Bryce Harper really really happy.

6.) If Lucas had been allowed to be an “auteur” from the start, there would be no decades of fandom, just an obscure sci-fi flick a few folks remember as interesting but deeply flaws. Some really smart editors saved it in post. No one’s an island.

7.) We told you voting for anyone other than Sec. Clinton was a vote for Trump to come in and strip women of their human rights. It sure is gosh-golly nice you felt so edgy and idealistic voting for Stein, though. Good for you.

8.) Your documentary about Vonnegut’s time in Dresden will be called “Working Nein To Five”.

9.) You aren’t anywhere near perfect and you are absolutely amazing. That was not a contradictory sentence. Both are true, it’s true, all of it. All of it at once.
