Lin-Manuel on The Catchiness of Disney Afternoon Themes
I’ll be totally honest: I thought Lin-Manuel was wrong here. Yes, it’s very obviously true for Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, Chip-and-Dale’s Rescue Rangers, and even the oft-forgotten Gummi Bears, but I thought he was wrong with Tale Spin.1
Having reviewed the extended version of the theme, though, I can officially announce:
FACT CHECK: True!
- This is obviously in order of theme song awesomeness, and if you disagree you’re totally wrong, sorry to be the one to tell you that. ↩

Tony, Not Steve
Before we all rush to the theater to finally see Avengers: Infinity War tonight, please feel free to listen to this week’s brief episode of Nearly Coherent to find out what I think is going to happen, which might not, but it’d be kinda great if it did tbh

The Greatest Badminton Rant I’ve Ever Seen
There aren’t many times I’ll post sports-related content to eTM, but when I do, you can bet it’ll be high-quality stuff like this 2004 rant by Mary Carillo.
It’s solid gold, people.
Solid. Gold.

ABC 7 NY News: Bags of undelivered mail found in postal worker’s backyard shed on Long Island
Turns out my home town has a bit of a problem with the mail:
Postal inspectors are at a house in Nassau County Tuesday after they found loads of undelivered mail.
The USPS Inspector General’s Office confirms they are investigating, and neighbors said upwards of 60 kitchen-sized bags of undelivered mail were removed.
It’s pretty common for mail to be delivered to the wrong house where I am, anyway, so this really didn’t hurt your chances of missing an important piece of mail by all that much, honestly.
On the plus side, I now have something concrete I can point to the next time I tell my insurance company that there’s a reason I don’t get my prescriptions from a mail-order pharmacy. Woo-hoo/par-tay, etc.

The Morning Call: Stoning could be last ditch defense against school shooters, Blue Mountain official says
The Morning Call has news of a plan to help curb school shootings: rocks.
“If an armed intruder attempts to gain entrance to any of our classrooms, they will face a classroom full of students armed with rocks and they will be stoned,” Superintendent David Helsel said to the House Education Committee in Harrisburg.
I swear, we live in the dumbest of all future dystopian society timelines.

BBC News: Physicist Stephen Hawking dies aged 76
Stephen Hawking died yesterday:
The British theoretical physicist was known for his groundbreaking work with black holes and relativity, and was the author of several popular science books including A Brief History of Time.
I’m a huge fan of Stephen Hawking and genuinely love “A Brief History of Time”, so this news really bums me out.
