Hey uh so if you can lose this much wealth and still be a giant company maybe companies with this much wealth should be better regulated and broken up

This is also still ringing true. This is the Cavs team moving forward. They can trade one of the core 4 to improve. But trading garland or Allen will be very hard. The trades that do work won’t necessarily improve the team. They can either hit the reset button. Or continue to run it back.

Was hard to enjoy last night because I fully expected what’s happening tonight to happen tonight. Just a directionless bunch. #LetEmKnow

Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

*youth pastor voice* Let me tell you kids about another carpenter who wasn’t very popular with the authorities

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Media should not be a growth industry.

The very function of media is counter to the idea of a growth industry. The two simply should not be interlinked.

FYI: Home Depot has some hella good deals on storage bins right now. Will probably come back later this weekend for more. They’re also toddler approved.

Only thing worse than being mid is being mid and getting fined like a No. 1 seed.

Rachel Zegler says she loved Defunctland’s latest video about Disney Parks. “Shoutout to Kevin Perjurer. You know what you did. The video is so great. I think it’s actually hysterical that Disney dropped the Olaf animatronic the day of the video.” (via vulture)

Can't remember the last time I was so emotionally affected by a song. Well up every time by the end. MAN, this fucking rocks. youtu.be/VCbtmaFNRTw?...

“He’s a little crazy — the vets respect him” Kenny Atkinson on #Cavs sophomore Jaylon Tyson calling out the team for their lack of effort

A TWO-PART LEE CARVALLO IS A DREAM COME TRUE

this is an admission of felony conspiracy to commit copyright infringement but holding administrations responsible for crimes they commit is so passé

Not only are we celebrating a birthday, we're celebrating #HEISTMAS. That includes a daily pop culture advent calendar, Hallmark movie reviews, a holiday newsletter ($$ subscribers only!), gift guides, and more. 'Tis the season to celebrate pop culture writing! popheist.com/category/pop...

Or, if I may "yes, and..." if you want to use Rotten Tomatoes, pay more attention to the "average critic rating" (which offers a pretty accurate critical consensus) versus the more binary fresh/rotten score (which merely notes how many of the critics felt it was at least a 6/10).

this is why i will never give up my circa 2010 dvd boxset of THE WIRE. i don't give a shit about high def for older tv shows, give me the original aspect ratio (need to get my hands on an old simpsons boxset for this reason as well)

You almost certainly won’t see MORPHENOMENAL on any “best of” book lists this year, but I enjoyed the hell out of writing it and folks really seem to have enjoyed reading it. a.co/d/392QGQb

Linda Blackford: The ever-expanding money around college sports is well-established, but that doesn’t make it right.

Gimmicks is legitimately one of my favorite podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Derek and David are treasures.

All month long:

The latest Super Mario Moment is live! I am joined by @awkwardcomma.bsky.social to chat SUPER MARIO BROS 3, perhaps the first game to have a multi-year hype train! We chat Happy Meals, Warp Whistles and Koopalings and whether this truly is one of THE game's of all time. youtu.be/LoaFlGsyOXo?...

My column: Who should Kentucky hire to replace Mark Stoops? It should be one of these three offensive-minded candidates www.kentucky.com/sports/spt-c...

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Kentucky football is reportedly in the market for a new head coach after parting ways with Mark Stoops, its career wins leader.

the cavs hate rebounding but love fouling jump shooters

“They’re just making shots and we’re not making them yet.” — Brad Daugherty as the Cavs go down 13-2 to Boston. Been the story in far too many Cavs games so far this year. Just need to stop getting excited to watch this team, I ‘spose. Joke’s on me 😆 #LetEmKnow

Up on YouTube later. Up on Nebula and patron now!

This particular *thing* is one I keep returning to when I think about pop culture: in modern times, anything new is in direct competition with anything which came before it, in a way that’s unlike any other point in history because of widespread accessibility. A lot of meat on that bone.

My latest creative venture was sparked in part by browsing for DVDs at Goodwill.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Kentucky football for most of my existence

a military strike on unarmed civilians is murder and a war crime

3/4 of these movies fucking rip, and they’re all worth your time

A fictional character accepts Jesus under duress and I dive deep into an old drive to discover the REAL reason I became a believer at 15 (and why it didn’t last.) www.shamuskelley.com/atmywhitsend...

Incredibly funny how much political discussion is driven by the four things at the bottom while everyone else is getting cooked on Facebook looking at pictures of AI Eminem opening nursing homes for crying veterans

I photographed tonight’s Thanksgiving Snowstorm in Cleveland, Ohio and this is what I got

There were at least 3 separate times in the 90s when it looked like the United States was about to tear itself apart from the inside. FAR from an oasis.

It’s amazing how much of this advertising is “you know that thing you were already doing without any issues? What if your phone told you to do it?”

Bit of an unusual request: any big fans of RECESS or its feature film among my peers here? Launching a podcast in January and as part of it we’re doing bonus, “less structured” episodes focused on our niche interests and I’d like to talk about RECESS: SCHOOL’S OUT. Ideally wanna record by mid-Dec.

Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

A variation of this in the last six months became my canned response to buddies who keep getting rage-baited into dumb NBA and NFL “hot takes” disseminated via social media. You can’t stop that nonsense, but you can stop engaging with it. Just stop having opinions about bad-intentioned opinions!
