He said, “I wonder how the end of days will be” The answer is easy in my eschatology Just trust in fundamental Christianity There will be 50 ways that you’ll be Raptured

In 1973, George Lucas released a nostalgic movie about 1962. I used to think that was ridiculous, but right about now I could go for a story steeped in the carefree innocence of 2014.

Just attempted to call @abc4utah.bsky.social to register my disgust at their cowardice, and their "operator" option went directly to voice mail. Not sure whether that's typical, or they just don't want to deal with the heat today, but I hope everybody there is feeling ashamed today.

There must be 50 ways that you’ll be Raptured You just let you soul leave, Steve Go to the Right Hand, Stan Leave shoes unfilled, Bill And then you’ll ascend You won’t tribulate, Nate That’s some atheist’s fate It’s time to join God, Todd While the earth will end

Apropos of nothing today, this movie is pretty great. boxd.it/1C54R

I know it’s fun to laugh at people for their absurd superstitions about the end of the world … … and that’s it. It’s fun. Let’s enjoy things that are fun right now.

My man David Byrne released a new album this month

The funniest part of this is acetaminophen is the (perfectly safe) drug. Tylenol is a *brand*, and by attacking the brand and not the drug, the US government has just given Kenvue a massive gift when this goes to court. Their lawyers are likely drooling right now.

Why are there suddenly more planets and stars than there were in the 1600s? Clearly some root cause is to blame, and not the advancement of scientific knowledge and tools that allow us to better understand the nature of our universe.

I have two kids who are queer and neuroatypical, each in their own way. I love to death every bit of exactly who they are, even when it made their lives or mine a little bit more challenging, and fuck absolutely anyone who thinks any of that needs to be "fixed" or "cured."

“Rapture Day” is a good time to watch the “Reasonabilists” episode of PARKS & RECREATION.

The essence of 21st-century American conservatism can be distilled to “how dare people exist who are not White, conservative, Christian, native-born, straight, cisgender, neurotypical, able-bodied and, preferably, male, although women are permitted for certain very specific purposes.”

STEPHEN MILLER: you have no idea what you have awakened. we will save the West. we will turn darkness into light. we will rise like a phoenix from the pit of fire and EVERYONE ELSE AT THE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS GAME TABLE: ROLL THE FUCKING DIE ALREADY

“Rapture Day” is a good time to watch the “Reasonabilists” episode of PARKS & RECREATION.

All respect to the career of peak Russell Wilson, but it’s just kind of sad to watch him now.

I mean, funerals really are for the living. Funerals and fireworks.

Utah's reliable red congressional districts? Not anymore. Utah lawmakers released 5 map proposals on Sunday. Analysis shows Democrats could flip at least one district, and maybe two, on each proposal. Read my exclusive breakdown at the link: www.utahpoliticalwatch.news/analysis-pro...

When celebrities take to social media to complain about film critics, I always see it as a sign that they knew they made a piece of shit--and now they're trying to defend it. Marlon Wayans is the latest. The Black folks I know who saw it were far meaner than me. They wanted their damn money back.

When you’re making an appointment for a haircut, there should be a way you can indicate that you’re willing to double the tip if they don’t attempt to engage you in small talk.

Moving over here my annual Xitter re-posting of this superb anecdote from Allee Willis about co-writing Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” with Maurice White.

Looking forward to Disney Parks’ re-skin of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance where Kylo Ren demands to know the location of the secret rebel base, and … you just give it to him.

Good news: I was able to get a COVID booster in Utah yesterday at my doctor’s office. Bad news: For the first time after getting a COVID shot, I feel like crap.

Less than a week out from SLC’s FanX convention, and I’ve got a very full schedule of appearances (making up for lost time after missing the past two). If you’re attending, come say hello. conventions.leapevent.tech/schedule/Fan...

I’m guessing these were balloons for someone’s 70th birthday party, but … that’s not what they look like now.

Find you someone who loves you as much as director Tim Mielants loves titles that are a male character’s first name.

For the morning crowd: Not a great movie weekend, sadly.

In case I’m forgetting something, is there already another 2025 wide release to form a “seize-the-day fantasy schmaltz” troika with LIFE OF CHUCK and A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY?

I’ve decided that my feed will be a “doom-free zone” for at least the next week. Those who know me understand where I stand socio-politically, but I don’t need to repeat the same points you’re seeing from everyone else. Allow me to be the sorbet in your doomscrolling diet.

As a true Kogonada fanboy, it gives me no pleasure to announce that A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY is quite poor.

When it feels like your moral compass has you swimming against every tide in the culture, it can get exhausting. It must be nice for the people who just float along that they don’t have to worry about that exhaustion.

I liked when the ugly late night drama was Jay Leno hiding in a closet.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

We're coming up on the 10th anniversary of this Tweet. I feel like I should buy it a birthday cake.

BREAKING: Jimmy Fallon simulator ride at Universal Studios Orlando to be re-themed to have him racing through New York trying to dodge any potentially controversial subject.

The reason I’m not worried about a social media post making fun of the First Lady’s wardrobe, despite being employed in the media, is that I’m fortunate enough to work for an independent outlet that isn’t lining up to service Edema Adolph.

Great tweet today, oh, hold on, this is from two months ago

You can’t get rid of THE MELANIADOOK.

Trying to get anything covered by your health insurance in the U.S. is an unpaid full-time job.

The term "road rage" gets a lot of bad press, but real talk, there are a lot of things that happen on the road for which rage is the only appropriate response.

Robert Redford on Richard Nixon's death. Not much changes, I guess.

There are a lot of qualities that raise Alan to the top of the profession, but one of them is his ability to write a lead that grabs you by the scruff of the neck
