if you’re already missing the sight of grim baseball players who exhibit no joy while playing and who seem to feel entitled to a championship and nothing less then may I introduce you to the New York Yankees

Ordered!

The kind of album where Lindsey Buckingham sings cokey backing vox on a song co-written by Thomas McGuane, and Jeff Porcaro is credited with playing "Tahitian log drums." The title track, about a US envoy charged with putting out fires in the Middle East, now feels like it's from a parallel earth

No one ever told this guy, "you break it, you bought it."

If you’re still filling out your 2026 Anthony Award Ballot, I hope you’ll consider these @rhppress.bsky.social titles for Best Anthology/Collection 🤘

I know it's early, but this is Friday of SXSW. I think the patient is dead.

Upside down, by the ankles, and then treat him like a piñata.

What is the point of a website asking if it should trust this browser? As if it will be remembered next time you log in?

So I guess it's been a while since I opened X, but I see it's now living up to it's name. Just full-on hardcore porn, not hidden in any way.

One week from today! Assuming I make it out of Alcatraz alive.

“There’s a common assumption that my movies are exposés,” Mr. Wiseman said in a 2011 interview for this obituary (from the New York Times). I too would like to be interviewed for my obituary 15 years before my death.

Started watching BULLITT without remembering Robert Duvall is in it, but sure enough, there he is. RIP.

Wow, that's a sentence that just keeps on going until 👀

Does no one ever ask this guy why he's so ill-informed about everything? I think that's legitimate question for the Speaker of the House.

"I can't understand a word he's saying. Let's watch Kid Rock perform 'Bawitaba.'"

Apropos of nothing, Red Sox pitchers and catchers report on Tuesday!

These commercials are setting a new record for hideous de-aging.
