Anyway that's enough dumbass sports posting for 2025

Tyler Kolek: Knicks' best white guy since....Dave DeBusschere?

Knicks hit the egg nog a little too hard last night

Happy Shane Black Day, everyone.

The window between screenwriters discovering what bearer bonds were and the government going "oh shit piss fuck we need to make these fuckin things illegal goddammit" was pretty narrow, huh

Kind of a reverse Baader-Meinhof in DIE HARD, when you realize (maybe for the third or fourth time, who knows) that that isn't Huey Lewis, he looks less like Huey Lewis than you ever thought imaginable

One underrated thing about DIE HARD (1988, McTiernan): there is a whole lot of it. None of this "less is more" bullshit.

It is annoying how much of Christmas involves logistics management, but conquering that challenge is undeniably satisfying.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, finally caught up with Abraham Trahearne; he was drinking beer with an alcoholic bulldog named Fireball Roberts in a ramshackle joint just outside of Sonoma, California, drinking the heart right out of a fine spring afternoon.

Five perfect films in an inaccurately but spiritually correct order: Laura It Happened One Night Slap Shot Tango & Cash Space Jail

Thinking of attending the mayoral inauguration block party because it’s the most likely time for Cuomo to attack in the green goblin flyer

I donated a car to charity a few years back and my reward for it is a pretty constant barrage of emails asking me why the fuck I’m not giving them more cars

QUELLE SCANDALE

Look, the Beatles were HUGE for me as a kid, and I still love them as much as, if not more than, the next #BeatlesGuy. But I’m BEGGING someone to put this kind of energy into the KINKS, for the love of god

So everyone's watching the 60 Minutes that was supposed to be banned and everyone who knows how PDFs work can unredact the Epstein files, it's like the Christmas spirit has irony poisoning this year

[first day as a shepherd] boss: where are you going? me: [pointing] star boss: what? why me: [shrugging] baby

“Didy’ever spike a news story to appease a fascist, only to have it totally blow up in your face?”

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

RIP James Ransone

This holiday season I implore you not to gift your friends and family or yourself the Shout versions of Hong Kong classics. Get the Arrow or Imprint versions instead. Order from Diabolik. It’s remarkably easy!

ICYMI: I profiled Peter Vecsey at rest (an oxymoron, I know) and how the role of the NBA insider has changed for @poynterinstitute.bsky.social. www.poynter.org/reporting-ed...

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

the number of times the character name Pasquini is said in Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man (1976, Deodato) delighted me so much that i made an edit of some, but not all, of the 'Pasquinis'

Bad couple days for right-wing boxers; go woke or get your shit broke

For that special someone this Christmas: the Todd Field Gift Set

👍

nw (finally): ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

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

The only good kinds of AI are Allen Iverson and Andre Iguodala

Fix your hearts or die

please live your lives in a manner where this caption doesn't appear on the bottom of the screen when someone interviews you

Miriam Hopkins, publicity shot for All Of Me (1934).

This fuckin rules. The Spurs have a lot of fun, good-vibes players, they have a guy from another planet (but enough about Harrison Barnes), their coach has aura, great game. However, it must be said: youtu.be/dCdQwj2oJK0?...

Jalen's hitting bank shots, Kolek's drawing prestidigitation fouls, it is fucking over for everyone over 6'3"

There's nothing wrong with Gavin Newsom that a career-ending scandal and permanent absence from politics wouldn't fix

Copa del Asociación Nacional de Baloncesto: San Antonio vs Nueva Jork, vamanos

coming to terms with the fact that I peaked seven-plus years ago

Questions unanswered as to whether "DISCLOSURE" DAY marks Steven Spielberg's third foray (following JURASSIC PARK and THE LOST WORLD) into the Michael Crichton cinematic Universe (MCU).

Once upon a time a cascading series of disasters led to me being forced to attend my cousin's 10th or 11th birthday, alone with a dozen girls in peak "eww boys" era who were insisting on watching something called "The Princess Bride," which if I'd known what MKUltra was at time, I would have blamed.

Well, fuck

Just got another suggested video implying that ancient Massachussetts was a tropical rainforest with Mayan ruins, but this new one presupposes that Roman centurions (dressed by, apparently, Hideo Kojima) were the first European settlers. Ah, AI....

Wasn't expecting to cry 2.75 times, but hey.

Time for WAKE UP DEAD MAN

Vegas is such a weird place to have sports Also, the rest of the country is such a weird place to have gambling

insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

RIP

behold, the platonic ideal of social media
