I saw an ad for something on TV recently that said it was “Too hot for TV!!!” Which was interesting, because, as I said, I saw the ad on TV. I wonder where that line is drawn? I mean, where is that particular thermostat that makes something “too hot for TV,” or “too hot for (whatever)?” Dave Chappelle did a comedy bit where he was talking about a podcaster saying he refused to comment on the R.

Moline’s TaxSlayer Center has a new name… …and it’s … The Illinois Quad City Civic Center Authority announced that the venue at 1201 River Drive would be given the new moniker of the Vibrant Arena at The Mark, named for the local credit union which is its new sponsor, and The Mark, which was its original name. The Vibrant Arena at The Mark was originally opened in 1993 as The Mark of the Quad Cities (and to be honest, a good number of people around the Quad-Cities still, and always have, referred to it as The Mark).
