Boo.

So many left unpunched.

I wish Balor had been in To The Manor Born.

It would've given the show more replay value.

Max Mosley turned a gun on himself.

I'm surprised nobody wept about The Death Of GIFs

Even if he insisted on recommending a pronunciation I detest til the end

I was going to play devil's advocate and argue that there's no rule necessitating that an acronym must be pronounced according to the initial phoneme of each constituent (e.g. /g/raphics not /dʒ/raphics), but I'm blanking on any major exceptions. Bruce, help.

My main objection is more that /dʒɪf/ is a space already occupied by jiff "shortening of jiffy; a short span of time, 'It'll be done in a jiff!'" (which i swear was also used in some media production circles to mean "1/100 of a second" but can find no evidence to corroborate this), while /gɪf/ is sitting there unoccupied for the taking.

My linguistic obsession has metastisized

I guess you could say "we don't pronounce <NATO> as 'nay-tcho' even though common varieties of English realize the <tr> cluster as a weird kinda /tʃɹ/-dealie ("tchrip" rather than "tuh-rip/ter-rip".)

The original book is also one of the most baffling things I have ever read and to discover that over 150 sequels have been written by various people is absolutely weird.

also one of the stupidest scenes in any movie. Ever.

yes.

also that fact about there being 150 different remo books has somehow completely broken my brain

i hope they were all written by georges simenon under a psuedonym

Oh no

Roam is probably my favourite B-52s song. I hadn't considered the possibility of dying to it, but... solid choice IMO
