Reply to comment by fireandiceofsong in TIL: Thanks to poor internal communication at NASA, information about a spacesuit water leak wasn't properly communicated. Later, Astronaut Luca Parmitano almost drowned on a July, 2013 ISS space walk, his helmet filling with several liters of water before they could get him back inside. by OvidPerl
In The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (the first book specifically) there's a princess whose family keeps trying to get her into a fairy tale situation but it never works. They invite a wicked fairy to her christening, but the fairy just eats a lot of cake and dances with her uncle all night. She helps an old lady in the woods who's a powerful witch in disguise, but the blessing she gets is to never have any cavities. Etc.

Reply to comment by tronstaron in TIL that the famous author Thomas Pynchon has avoided publicity during his fifty-year career to the point that almost all known photos of him are from the 1950s. However, he voiced himself in two episodes of The Simpsons, where his dialogue consisted entirely of puns on the titles of his books. by IHad360K_KarmaDammit
Cousin Larry was great in She-Hulk btw.

It's really incredible how much Jerry has managed to milk the "America's Team" angle ever since the Aikman/Irvin/Smith years. When I was a kid the Cowboys were so good, so every 10-year-old wanted a Cowboys Starter jacket. They've never let go of that momentum despite...shall we say mixed success.
