... display of all of it. Get her going and off her rocker, and she’s as vertiginous to watch as a Melissa Mc Carthy when she’s fully in it, or Vanessa Bayer whenever the camera decides to zero in on the wild cartwheels going on behind her eyes.).

First we have “Olive Garden,” a boring setup packed full of weird, knowing, uncomfortable details like Beck Bennett’s director’s unconscious Mammy voice whenever he’s addressing Leslie Jones, Mikey O’Day’s o-face, and Kenan Thompson delighting himself as usual. The ending sketch, in which Scarlett and Kenan deliver “deep circuit stuff” during a mild-mannered white Boomer’s funeral, which isn’t notable for the performances or the writing or the songs, but which provides a moment of sheer Aidy Bryant delight at the very end. And while both of those have enough creative weirdness under the surface to give us hope about the future of the season, we really fell for this digital short ...

Lorde Is At Least 40 Years Old, According To My Research

... research. I had my first lead. It was time to get my hands dirty. Here, I give you exhibit A, Lorde’s new video for her song, “Green Light.”.

But I am admittedly biased in my determinations. I have a hypothesis, and I do in fact want to prove it. To solve this problem, I sought out a neutral party.

On the sound of Liability and still writing from the perspective of a young person. I love the song so much and it feels so starkly truthful to me. And I think everyone knows what that’s like, to just feel like a f*cking liability. It's interesting because the viewpoint is such a youth to the writing. And I love that because I am 20 and I’m an idiot determined to keep writing from ...
