What's a scene that's better than the movie it's in?

This can mean whatever you want, such as a great scene in a bad movie, but for an example, I'm choosing a scene that just elevates the kind of film it's in.

As a 40 year old, I'm required by a 1995 law to love Billy Madison, but I can't say it's necessarily a great movie. That said, the little scene set to ELO's "Telephone Line" with Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi where Billy calls the kid he bullied in high school feels both like it belongs in a different film and is absolutely a perfect cameo performance. Buscemi takes this little nothing bit and plays it so sincerely for this poor guy that it somehow turned into a thoughtful look at forgiveness in a 90s Adam Sandler movie.

How's about you?

Where can I find the British Pork sketch?

Hello from americatown; for some reason nbcuniversal and/or sky have a copyright on that specific sketch on YouTube; quite literally everything else the show has done is easily accessible. I've not seen it and I hear it's fantamazing. Does Vimeo or the other whatevers have it?

The only way I would tolerate the Aspiration scandal ending

Tuesday night, NBA Draft. Adam Silver steps over a sobbing, be-jazzed Darryn Peterson and approaches the podium, card in hand.

"With the fifth pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers would have selected..."

Army of lawyers runs out, start doing intricate choreography. Draft board graphic turns into title card 1 of a 45 strong Google Slides deck (can't do PowerPoint for obvious reasons). Puts the hammer down, off to commercial break.

This will not happen.

Here are some other 40+ year title droughts.

Kings: 75 years (1951 Rochester Royals). Close to a title? Moving on.

Hawks: 68 years (1958 St. Louis Hawks). Close to a title? No, but certainly getting more interesting.

Suns: 57 years (never). Close to a title? Probably have to bottom out to get their shot.

Clippers: 55 years (never). Close to a title? Not especially, similar to the Suns.

Pacers: 53 years (1973 ABA Champions). Close to a title? We'll have to see how they start next year, but sure, kinda, why not? It wouldn't be super surprising. Subject to variance.

Jazz: 51 years (never). Close to a title? Not in the next two years, but it appears like a rebuild might actually yield something down the line.

Nets: 50 years (1976 New York Nets, ABA Champions). Close to a title? Geographically!

Blazers: 49 years (1977). Close to a title? Honestly, the furthest of anyone in my opinion. Bad things coming.

Wizards: 48 years (1978 Washington Bullets). Close to a title? Rebuild kicking into full swing next week!

76ers: 43 years (1983). Clodse to a title? Not especially, but could certainly catch lightning in a bottle one day in the Maxey era.

Spouse getting new job. Will be off benefits around July 4 until about Labor Day. What should we buy, and what should we do now?

We live in Illinois, 40M, 39F, 3M(onster).

She's accepting a new job as of like July 4 and we won't be eligible to enroll in their benefit system for insurance (Aetna I think) for 60 days. Currently on Anthem. All good health, outside of like birth control can't think of any ongoing prescriptions for anyone.

Outside of like scheduling any appointments ASAP (kid just had his checkup in May), anything savvy to consider for grabbing coverage for two months plus whatever we should do in the next three weeks? A little in the weeds here and could use advise. By and large we can afford things. Current plan is like $330, $340 every two weeks from the paycheck.
