Looks like we're down to Fox Force Two.

Very good piece by @louispeitzman.bsky.social about how the way the culture reacts to reality TV mess has become a lot more demanding. www.vulture.com/article/summ...

Two simultaneous truths: 1) “Survivor” has gotten far too in love with its own legacy and it often feels like it’s drowning in its mythology. 2) As a day-one fan, MAN did that last tribal council hit me.

To be completely honest, there’s only one person I want to hear from on this Kristy Noem husband fetish thing:

A media pile-on is never fun, but if Noem’s husband gets that brand partnership with Hooters it’ll be worth it.

Well that does it, I guess now I don't like Bill Simmons. bsky.app/profile/bigc...

So here's a funny thing: the US Postal Service can lose a mail-order prescription of yours in transit, but then “for the safety of our customers and employees, the Mail Recovery Center cannot search for or return prescription drugs.”

Track Record Queens have been an absolute shambles all weekend, the floor having disappeared beneath their feet, their cries of "but she was never worse than low safe!!" echoing down a deep chasm.

The UConn announcer went full Howard Dean on the call. bsky.app/profile/bubb...

I’m historically a UConn fan, and that was awesome, but god damn it, Danny Hurley is such a cock.

CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao

Feels like this movie exists as a counterbalance to the new, awful-looking "Scary Movie," and on that level alone I'm happy. youtu.be/9O9ZeG6op_Y?...

This whole thing is fantastic, and I'm not just saying that because Dan Rad and I both love the cheeseburger empanadas at Empanada Mama bsky.app/profile/nyma...

Still can't believe they let Denis Villeneuve get away with casting Pattinson as a Tleilaxu face-dancer. The sicko shit we're in for...

Sometimes it's nice to see good things happen for good people. Other times it's nice to see Rick Pitino succeed.

Surely the widely despised ICE agents will be warmly welcomed by people in the low-stress environment of impending air travel.

The SCREAM movies usually do so much double-misdirection stuff that the killer reveals end up being relatively hard to guess but random. This new one is both random and EXCEEDINGLY easy to guess.

Putting the recliner button on the inside of the armrest at movie theaters was the act of a person who hates fat people and wants to subject them to Marx Brothers style calamity at random intervals.

“LOL watch this…” - this kid’s mom, probably

A 10-loss team that finished 7th in the SEC and gets waved into the tournament all the way to an 8 seed is exactly the kind of team it's nice to see getting its ass whipped by a mid-major in Round 1.

I like when the big tall guys with dumbface block a shot in basketball and get to be happy about their big long arms.

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

Survivor welcomes in the David Ellison/ Bari Weiss era with its most Republican episode yet.

Truly what the hell is this Zac Brown spear fishing business on Survivor? It’s so strange to be so forcefully reminded that you’re not the target audience for the show you’ve been watching for 25 years.

No no no, today was supposed to be a take-it-easy day, not a go crazy trying to work out the implications of Bruce Banner not remembering Peter Parker despite all the stuff that happened in Endgame kinda day.

Kathy Bates having no living "Misery" co-stars to stand with during the Reiner tribute has me feeling very old.

Tremendous In Memoriam surrounded by a pretty darn good Oscar ceremony all things considered. Keep bringing Conan back. Everyone out there, please don't ruin next year's movies like you did this year, thank you.

"All My Children" Alum Wins Best Actor ❤️

That in memoriam was... perfect? Perfect. Sorry if you don't agree.

It's the Human Resources meme but I don't care: Sean Penn winning his third Oscar and not being there to collect it is TRASH; Katharine Hepburn winning her third (and fourth) Oscar and not being there to collect it is FIERCE.

I wonder if "The Singers" got even one vote from someone who thought it said “Sinners,” thus causing the tie. Kinda like how Barbra Streisand being admitted into the Academy caused the 1968 Best Actress tie.

I don't even want to get Burger King to eat, I just want to give them $20 bucks because it sounds like they need it.

This is a useful list, not just for the rankings, but especially for the capsule descriptions/opinions. From @joereid.bsky.social www.vulture.com/article/ever...

All this talk of Leonardo DiCaprio saying he regrets passing on “Boogie Nights” made me wonder how things would’ve gone differently. www.vulture.com/article/mirr...

What's crazy about the Chalamet hit brigade is that this is all happening while Sean Penn is about to tiptoe his way to Oscar #3. But punish away!

Okay, insane new fact about a guy who played two different villains on “Buffy” (including Willow’s drug-magic dealer) and spent the better part of the last five years playing a religious zealot and murderer on “General Hospital.” bsky.app/profile/ezwr...

Oh hello former “One Life to Live” hottie David Fumero on “The Pitt”!

Read something on Threads about Sinners (mistake!) that included the sentence "he [Jack O'Connell vampire] centered himself with his jig" and that's when I decided to pack it in for the season.

Truly one of my favorite "Survivor" episodes in a very long time. Kinda surprised at how much I'm loving this season.

[unfurls parchment, reads] “Hey, it’s Danerys Targaryen. This season, the fans voted YES on having wicked cool dragon immunity idols, so I figured why not have two of my own?”

BREAKING: In response to the offensive comments made by Timothée Chalamet at a recent speaking engagement, the estate of Marvin Hamlisch has released a statement affirming that EVERYTHING was BEAUTIFUL at the ballet.

Reliably my favorite feature of awards season
