Conan was talking about this, either on his podcast or at the end of that last Norm special on Netflix. Apparently, he was booked for two segments, but thought he was only there for one, so he just improved this whole thing to fill in the time. Such a brilliant mind. What a huge loss.

999@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•The entire capital city of Canada's Northwest Territories has been ordered to evacuate as hundreds of wildfires scorch the region, officials say123·2 years agoOh, this is such a shit thread to have this conversation, but nevertheless…
I played Firewatch for a while a couple of years ago and LOVED it. Didn’t finish, not sure what happened but I just never got back to it. I think I’ve forgotten enough of it now that I can go back and start again and have a fresh experience. I’ve recommended this game to a few people and everyone has loved it. Some excellent twists and turns and fun little bits of mystery. Great writing!
999@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Canadian musician Robbie Robertson dies at 80: multiple reports2·2 years agoI have around 1,000 records, and that one is the one I play most often. Such a stellar record. Transports me right back to that time.
If you haven’t read it, I can’t recommend his autobiography highly enough. He has a fascinating story.
999@kbin.socialto Movies and TV Shows@lemmy.film•The Fugitive‘s 30th anniversary: ‘I Didn’t Kill My Wife!’ — An Oral History of ‘The Fugitive’4·2 years agoWell, that was a fantastic read. Took about an hour with looking up some of the references they make and getting deeper into a few things. Thanks for posting!
999@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Don't overstate 1.5 degrees C threat, new IPCC head says1·2 years agoWell if everyone is just buying shit because corporations tell them to and the world is that fucking stupid, then we deserve what’s happening.
999@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Don't overstate 1.5 degrees C threat, new IPCC head says51·2 years agoThe 70% that comes from corporations comes from people. The people who use the products that the corporations provide. So, if Exxon is one of those major polluters, that is based largely on the people who purchase Exxon products and use them.
This 70% number comes from a 2017 study that measured emissions from 1985-2015. So while those corporations are selling the product that pollutes, when we order some stupid shit from Amazon and it has to come from China on a ship to get here, we are responsible for using that product. When we get UberEats delivered, we are responsible. Ordinary people can fight that by not buying stupid shit we don’t need from China and in so many other ways. Yes, the corporations produce those products, but it is US that consumes it and we are ultimately responsible for the emissions. It’s a fun way to try to say “it’s not me, it’s them,” but the fact is, it’s all of us.

His posts like that are the only time I don’t mind reading for a half hour before getting to the recipe. His chicken wings post is another great one, and it really works!
Yeah, it’s more of a “data exists, kind of.”
