I got an idea for a movie! It's about this guy... who wished and wished 'til it came true and now this kid can fly.

And we will have adventures, like the boy and his bottle did. Put a happy ending there and it'll write itself, I swear.

an old favorite for me is Prancer from 1989 with Sam Elliott. We taped it off the TV, so the old commercials and tracking lines and distorted audio all play into it. Man I miss that tape.

36 here, I obsessed over my albums throughout my teens and 20s, thinking that they would be an important artifact. I still have them, but haven't contributed to them with prints since maybe 2008. I keep saying I'm going to print pictures from my phone though...

Yep. It's quite literal, also from Wikipedia about Brooklyn heights:

Brooklyn Heights occupies a plateau on a high bluff that rises sharply from the river's edge and gradually recedes on the landward side.

Usually the community is built on a hill or a mountain. Often times the highest part of the town, geographically. The incline may be gradual or subtle, so you may not notice that it's taller than the rest of the area.

Similarly when streets (in the US) are named High St., it's literally the highest street in town.

The music is licensed by the record company. If a distributor wanted to release all the episodes on an official home media (streaming, blue ray, etc), they would need to pay for the rights of the music. Each. Song. And they are all hits so that's big money. The cost to license this music would outweigh any benefit of release the home media. Hence the issue, no one wants to go through that headache. It won't be resolved until the songs enter the public domain (70 years minimum).

I love, but suck at, Minecraft. How am I so bad?

I agree. I would argue that headlines are passed around almost as easily as memes, though often without the humor element.

One reason people get radicalized online is that meme culture can quickly reduce issues to a punchline or a call to arms. And by circulating entirely online, with no checks on factuality or origin, memes and the joking around them can convey messages and provoke reactions with none of the back-and-forth that happens in person, let alone the learning acquired through research or deep study.

Something that is not talked about enough.
