I remember reading a while ago that the reason Disney+ canceled Daredevil and all those other shows when they did is because per union rules another season would've made the writers eligible for additional compensation. So instead they canceled it, waited a bit, then "revived it." That still true?

Finally pleasant enough for Saturday morning coffee outside

Here's an excuse to share something I wrote, all about my favorite song from this album centurysongs.substack.com/p/the-dismem...

I’m sorry — I nodded off on the couch after dinner. WHAT is happening right now??

This will be answered in my upcoming film for Blumhouse, JAWS: ORIGINS

I just want to shout out this job I just applied for. On-screen pop-up, enter name, address, phone, and attach your resume. Click Submit. That was it. Is it legit? Who cares?! Better things are possible.

The divorce is final, the weekend is here, and I splurged. Cheers, gang.

Last night while driving I said “Hey Siri, play ROOTY by Basement Jaxx.” And so obviously my phone started playing the original motion picture soundtrack to the film RUDY by Jerry Goldsmith. I am not holding this against Basement Jaxx, because that would be crazy. I mean, who would do that? Right?

MENDOZAAAAAAAAA!!!!! (complimentary)

The US would run out of toilet paper before it ran out of missiles

She says, "You can't repeat the past.” I say, "You can't? What do you mean, you can't? Of course you can.”

Also, supposedly this was one of Hitler's favorite movies, so

I really like the Elbow album. I like it despite the cover that makes it look like a generic hard rock album. Despite when Guy Garvey's voice randomly sounds like Dave Matthews for some reason. I'd vote for it over almost any album in this bracket. Almost.

As a fellow old person I take personal offense to teams just not even guarding Al Horford. You show em, Al.

This is what everyone in Naperville IL looked like in 2004

Of all the Not For Me music in this tournament, Aphex Twin might be the most Not For Me. Kudos to whoever made the Muse cover out of forks, too!

I don't believe I ever read my *first* free article, but ok

After this is all over JD Vance could have a modest career as a cooler in Vegas

I only drink Avignon papacy in the summer months

[Listening to another landmark metal album I know nothing about for the first time] Huh! This is really interesting. I like a lot of what’s going on here and it keeps surprising me. Great stuff! “Great! So will you vote for it?”

Hey, who told you my inner monologue

Why do I feel like someone somewhere is astroturfing or gaslighting or something about “Dubai chocolate?” I had never heard of this until a few months ago and now it is constant. It’s at every checkout. It’s being introduced in fast food. It is green. I DO NOT TRUST IT.

Let it be known that I did in fact spend some part of my Easter Sunday going to church

Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Withers Literally pulled my car over when those strings came in

Honey I Shrunk the You

Oh wow. The Hersh album was very good and I had never heard it before, but Insignificance is probably top 5 of the year for me. Sounds like Nilsson run through a series of pedals with a turn of the century disaffection. Both great records tho.

Doncic and Dort go down within minutes of each other but by all means let's keep playing a thousand games a year at full throttle because twelve different streaming services paid us billions of dollars to show a game in between FanDuel commercials

If Blake Griffin didn't want me to yell "LEMON. PEPPER. WINGS." at my TV every time he's on it, that commercial shouldn't be playing every 9 minutes.

there's a dril like quality here that i think isn't an accident - *this is* the sort of post is what he was riffing off

This movie is already aggressively stupid. It's a stealth Walker, Texas Ranger prequel that's like "What if The Man with No Name except it's awful and also he has a name"

OK, fuck it, I am going to watch a Chuck Norris movie on Tubi. I don't think I've ever seen a Chuck Norris movie, and I don't particularly care about Chuck Norris, but I don't know what else to watch tonight and so I'm doing this. Will report back periodically.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was maybe the most “and then a bunch of stuff happened“ movie I’ve ever seen

OK OK, lest I come across as more of a Ben Folds hater than actually I am, here's something I wrote for Father's Day on my hasn't-been-updated-pretty-much-since newsletter about "Still Fighting It," which is a song I still love: centurysongs.substack.com/p/ben-folds-...

Normally I would be heavily inclined to vote against Ben Folds; but on the other hand...

I don’t think I’m the right demo for The Backrooms. Do not understand the concept. It’s like “what if a weird room”

The Bulls front office set out to answer one simple question: how bad do you have to be to miss the postseason in the eastern conference?
