I know it’s not the same, but Judge “only” gets $40mil per year. Tucker is getting *$60mil* a year, just completely nuts

A reporter recalls meeting the Reiners after Rob Reiner made a movie about his son’s life. It sounds like quite a lot to relive. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

This is on my Christmas list this year and can already tell it’s gonna be a poignant rewatch. Basically a perfect comedy.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Wrote about how the late, great Rob Reiner had the most impossible 7-movie beginning to any director's career, and yet that's not even what he was most famous for:

Why is this tiny gesture so funny

Absolutely leveled by the Rob Reiner news, awful awful awul

Why are toads the only explicitly horny animal?

Every time I get a medical bill, I know I'm getting ripped off and there's basically no recourse. Even with "good" insurance and "good" health.

This new track from Flea is surprisingly intense and the video's great too www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmyj...

FYI: Nathan Rabin needs your love and appreciation right now. He was in a very significant car crash earlier this week and is in the hospital recovering. (His family was also in the car, they’re fine, but he got the brunt of the injuries.) Now’s a good time to support him: www.nathanrabin.com

Spotify should get sued into oblivion for shit like this

Goddamn this is good

Perhaps the most dominant pitching performance over the course of a series for Yamamoto

At some point Yamamoto has to stop pitching… but how do you take him out???

Every single play is epic … I’ve never seen anything like this.

One of the most powerful things an older person can do is show someone younger "The Larry Sanders Show"

everything about this sounds great until the very last word

There's a mural in the background of one scene that will haunt my mind probably forever

One of the best games I’ve ever seen — and a great write-up from Tyler

WHAT IS HAPPENING

Man this game is an instant classic

this is why baseball is the best

Extra innings without the ghost runner is such a beautiful thing

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Could be the biggest dump of all...

Hope everyone is keeping an eye on their Fox Sports preview pass timer, so it doesn't expire at the worst possible moment

Taking Skubal out is absurd, simply do not understand it

This is why having to beat Skubal twice is such a problem in a five game series

Kirby pitching the game of his life, just incredible

He had an over 1.100 OPS before that HR, but this absolutely needs to be the end of the "Judge isn't clutch" nonsense

Damn, this is a great read

Matt Berry and Jemaine Clement pitching the Orchid synthesizer — just watch it now, what are you waiting for youtu.be/hbO1z13WP8o?...

Bandcamp must be getting crushed today, website is barely usable at the moment

If there was ever a game for Judge to get the “can’t do it in the playoffs” monkey off this back…

Hard to fully explain, but watching this actually is somehow physically unpleasant. It's like your brain can sense it was created by a psychopath and instinctively recoils

Happy to see David Cross straightforwardly call out the hypocrisy of all the comics playing the Riyadh Comedy festival (including some of his heroes) officialdavidcross.com/blogs/press/...

There is a difference between righteous anger, directed at injustice, and hateful anger, directed at those who are different. Authoritarian regimes deliberately conflate the two to silence criticism and create false equivalence. It's important we don't let those in power succeed in this endeavor.

While it doesn't do all that much to make me feel any better about, uh, everything, it's helpful to remember that most people don't like what's going on

Read Dan Gilroy's essay on Disney's dilemma and the tough choices everyone will soon have to make -- whether they want to or not

We cannot make the headlines blunter people www.theverge.com/policy/77979...

Disney makes it very easy to tell them why you're canceling Disney+

I mean, this basically sums up why people are pissed at Ezra Klein

When the Little Free Library’s curation is a little too on the nose

Life keeps reminding me that things can always get worse

Wow, this is an incredibly greedy move from Amazon: they're ending Prime sharing with only one month notice

This is incredible and I can't help but notice that the AI haters are much more fun than the AI evangelists

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

Even Devin Williams knows not to bring in Devin Williams at this point
