if you are bored by pluribus and my curmudgeonly queen carol sturka that's a skill issue*!!! *reasonable minds may disagree but I tried to work through that disagreement in writing variety.com/2025/tv/colu...

Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union could do HEAT, but Pacino and De Niro couldn't do BRING IT ON.

sometimes out of nowhere my brain will fire up "Yes. I am Hamm" from the Clickhole fake oral history of Mad Men and i'll just start giggling clickhole.com/an-oral-hist...

my only request for the next year -- i don't think this is unreasonable either -- is that the first 30 seconds of "what's my name?" by dmx plays as i enter any building

me logging on every morning

I like to imagine that there is a rivalry between two top ham-sniffers: one, a meticulous keeper of precise traditions, the other a brash bad-boy with a colossal nose.

Love to be at a party in a large mansion then wander off to explore and find a room with an unusual piece of art only to be startled by the mansion’s owner behind me saying “it’s one of my most interesting pieces”.

i was not prepared for this halftime show to range from "Snoop doing Gin and Juice" to "Andrea Bocelli singing a beautiful rendition of White Christmas with his handsome adult son" but that's on me for a lack of imagination

Netflix is stuffing its NFL broadcast with Stranger Things ads and tie-ins but if they were really smart they'd be providing viewers -- paying subscribers who are almost certainly already aware of Stranger Things -- with useful information like "Inside Man will not be available after December 31"

digital meat thermometer is a real gamechanger because now i can check it every 30 seconds throughout the afternoon and announce to everyone when it's gone up a degree over and over as they all increasingly get exhausted by my bullshit

merry christmas, everyone sing it, brenda type-click-type.ghost.io/a-holiday-fc...

first "later we'll have some fuckin' pie and do some caroling" of the morning and it annoyed my wife as always. @briancgrubb.bsky.social

Second anniversary of our Apple TV’s spectacular attempt to understand me asking for “Hercule Poirot’s Christmas”

“and TONE, they got RUDOLPH, YOUR BOY, at the front of the sleigh. what, cause his NOSE is RED?” “it makes sense, wilbon! if you ever saw it, you’d even say it GLOWS!”

Dec 24th - Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by ghosts of his former business partners, who tell him he will be visited by more ghosts to teach him the error of his ways. 📽️📅 The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)

Hallmark movie about a couple who discover their marriage isn't legal because the ceremony was conducted by a snowman impersonating a cleric.

NFL Films made this for all of us. A Carol of the DOINKS.

bought a shirt at the mall. made a huge deal to the lady ringing me up about how my wheelchair can set off the alarms at the door when i leave. "if it goes off, it's not me stealing anything lol" i leave alarm goes off haha lmao etc get home and realize the shirt still has the security tag on it

For The Ringer, I spoke with Team Pluribus about the executive notes that led to that final line, how long it might be for s2, and, most importantly, why Carol never asks for the HamlinFone message to be shortened:

vince gilligan you beautiful madman

Nuts of distinction.

HAVE YOU BEEN SNACKING? i've had a few... A FEW WHAT a few small pies

No other magazine on Earth would run profiles of both John Kruk and Josh Shapiro in the same year, I can guarantee you that. Thanks to everyone for reading, sharing, and subscribing. I'm proud of the @phillymag.com staff every day, but especially this year, when we've had our backs up against it.

it would be funny if a celebrity started doing this but with like personalized engraved daggers instead of dessert

look i understand he’s not a good dude but you can’t just go around calling people “the king of sinful sots”

SOME OF US think peace should be possible for ALL planets, but it’s hard to look past one’s narrow worldview I guess.

No way

In a brief post shared with her 3.7 million Instagram followers, Malala Yousafzai looked back fondly on her travels to Egypt, Greece, Tanzania, and Ireland. She also wore an Eagles T-shirt in one of her photos. Go Birds. 🔗 www.inquirer.com/news/eagles-...

I love how much happier he is doing these silly mystery movies and seeing himself as a muppet than he was being James Bond

like eating a cheeseburger for breakfast you can do it, sure, no one is stopping you... but something about it just feels incorrect

still has not sunk in that there's an eagles game tonight 5pm on a saturday what even is that?

been using my old backup wheelchair for a bit. it mostly works fine but it doesn’t hold a straight line too well when i get the speed up. we’ve also had snow and rain here the last few days. all of which means… there are A LOT of squiggly tire marks across the tile floors of local stores this week

THIS WEEK IN THE FIVE SPOT -- Aliens! -- a massive inflatable Santa kerfuffle -- you will not believe how stupid i get about Pluribus AND MORE type-click-type.ghost.io/the-five-spo...

Beginning today people can buy a ticket and go see a new Avatar movie. I have a piece going live this weekend about the new film, but for now, let's celebrate and reflect on the first Avatar film. And how it led me to soil myself. www.thrillist.com/entertainmen...

Brian always provides a nice end to the work week.

I don't think there's a level of stupid you can descend to that I would not believe.

it sucks that some people will fake a disability but it doesn't suck nearly as much as the idea that every disabled person should have to be on-call 24/7 to prove their disability to every miserable self-appointed robocop who sees them in public and thinks "i bet they don't need that wheelchair"

Occasionally Instagram tricks me into clicking on Threads. This is the first time EVER I’ve seen something there that delighted me

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

too much bad news lately, so I’m sharing this song my son wrote. it is the most annoying song I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
