Slightly increase a band: Pushed by Voices

All right, Cavs & Pistons, now drag that series out for another week.

Happy MOTHER!’s Day to all who celebrate.

Possession is 9/10 of the law, and around 75% of THE EXORCIST.

I need to stop watching YouTube videos of people who not only don’t know who ABBA was, but don’t know what historical event “Waterloo” is a reference to, and wonder if “Mamma Mia” is, and I quote, “based off that movie.”

If I had to summarize the general sentiment of those I know who are, at best, deeply skeptical of AI, it's that the world has been optimized for five billionaires, and all the rest of us - our labor, our data, our land, our electricity - are the help. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/m...

Definitely wasn't expecting the part in the Billie Eilish movie where James Cameron superimposes Q'orianka Kilcher's face over Finneas.

Do you. Do you love boosters.

Most previous Republican administrations of my lifetime limited themselves to enacting policies that would kill only typical Democratic voters.

It's time for my (least) favorite game show, "Bug Your Film Press Colleagues for a Publicity Contact!" Today's episode: Anyone got a lead on someone for Black Bear's IN THE GREY? Hit me up via DM, and thanks as always for your indulgence.

There is no exception to the rule that if your response to people hating you and/or what you’re doing is “paid protesters,” you’ve only made yourself a bigger asshole than you were before.

I just got a spam text that was simply a picture of a pug sitting on a couch, and honestly I’m not even mad, just confused.

Hmm apparently hotel bookings are way down for the World Cup, which starts in 5 weeks

There’s NBA fandom, and then there’s the level of NBA fandom where you know which official is a problem.

I never expected it to happen that, in the absence of having a horse in the NBA playoffs race, I’d end up rooting for the Knicks.

Pulitzer Prizes … Met Gala … always you wrestle inside me.

Tipper Gore thought she heard Satan speaking in Judas Priest records and it was an emergency, but the computer that has literally convinced teens to kill themselves and others? Put that in the schools, baby!

I’m partial to “The Shop Around the Coroner.”

No.

Whatever becomes of Rudy Giuliani, I hope we don’t all waste our “A” material so we have nothing left in the tank for the Main Event.

Mayor, farewell; thou dost but what thou mayst.

To anyone tempted to get off tasteless jokes about this: make sure they're funny

The dirtiest secret of capitalism: Getting rich isn’t actually hard, if you have a modicum of intelligence and zero sense of moral obligation to anyone but yourself. Not being obscenely wealthy isn’t choosing poverty; it’s choosing humanity.

You know that anxiety-dream chestnut “still in school with an assignment you forgot to do?” Apparently my subconscious’s preferred variant is “forgot to officially close my university P.O. Box, which has been accumulating unseen mail for 35 years.”

Watching sports podcasts with captions is a hilarious exercise in “what will the proper names look like?” Gotta love “Ayo Dosunmu” showing up as “Iota Sumo.”

anytime I see people shocked that @kenjennings.bsky.social is a man of the people I’m reminded of this from 20 years ago

Sleep disrupters move fast & wake things.

These last couple days of NBA playoffs have been so completely drunk.

“Voters are blameless and pure and it is 100% on the campaign to win them over” is a view that political campaigns have to hold, but the rest of society absolutely should not.

WHO SLEW AUNTIE ROO AND GROGU?

THE TALL BLOND MAN WITH ONE BLACK SHOE AND GROGU

It should be embarrassing to the Nuggets to lose an elimination playoff game to this particular aggregation of Minnesota players. Just a wretched performance.

I LOVE YOU, ALICE B. TOKLAS, AND GROGU

Harlem Globetrotters watching Knicks/Hawks right now: “C’mom man, it’s over.”

Nothing summarizes the modern right better than this

@dannybowes.bsky.social If this is the Knicks team you get every night, Finals are a-waiting.

Utah/SLC folks: I'm now trying to maintain a four-week running upcoming releases calendar at City Weekly. Plan your viewing! www.cityweekly.net/film/upcomin...

Writing bitchy editorials about the British line-of-succession controversy.

Anal-retentive title corner, per @gemko.bsky.social: The on-screen title of the Billie Eilish concert movie is simply BILLIE EILISH [new line] HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. No “THE TOUR,” no “(LIVE IN 3D).”

In 90% of Bond movies the bad guy is either a sociopathic billionaire or the Russians. It's presumably why Amazon are finding it so hard to find a script for their Bond that Jeff Bezos will let them make.

I'm not happy that MICHAEL exists on its own aesthetic merits, but I will say that it has generated some of the most interesting and thoughtful reviews and other analytical writing of any recent wide theatrical release. Good job, everyone.

All the time.
