The McRib is back for a limited time

Seeing some people on here say “Not so fast, Kimmel may be back on the air but Trump’s war on free expression continues” and I’m like “yes but can you please enjoy seeing the worst people alive fail in public for a few minutes”

Happen to have Thursday off for a doctor's appt, so I can go to the early, randomly-at-4:15-pm first 70mm screening of One Battle

Robert Redford on Richard Nixon's death. Not much changes, I guess.

I find it bizarre that guest lectures at colleges are considered such a flashpoint of the culture war. What college student gives a shit about these lecture events? It's like doing more class in your free time after class. That's for losers!

Going back to 1998 to explain that in 27 years "Should the sidekick on Win Ben Stein's Money have a network TV show?" will be the most hotly-discussed political issue of the day because President Donald Trump used the assassination of a right-wing podcaster as a pretext for abusing federal power.

None of this was inevitable. How did we end up with such an unlikely set of circumstances? Perhaps this is the same question asked by citizens of every collapsing civilization.

The downfall has become suddenly very steeper since Kirk. That was like the worst thing that could have happened, man.

By 1925, the human voice had finally started to sound like itself on records, under the unofficial leadership of Bing Crosby. —Wilfrid Sheed, The House That George Built

Two types of guys at a Pixies show. On one side, the Gen-X English professors — guys with gray ponytails, guys who look like Jonathan Lethem. On the other side, tall nondescript guys in baseball caps you can tell got into the Pixies after watching Fight Club.

My dad first signed up for Twitter to follow live sports and he’s a freak about U of I. One day he said to me “Twitter is abuzz about Illini golf,” and I was like dude you only follow Illini sports accounts. And that’s how every reporter feels Charlie Kirk was the most important person in the world.

ME ON SUBWAY TAKES: I think we should obey the voice of the strange orb from the ruins. We should follow its instructions to the letter. To avoid angering it SUBWAY TAKES GUY: 100% agree

You're telling me Zerthis was a shivering human image?

Say what you will about these shows but the NBC mockumentary sitcom house style is so durable and comforting that I'm enjoying "The Paper" not in spite of its familiarity but because of it.
