All three people involved are a delight and the show is a wonderful listen. Check out Arnie's new podcast!

news flash Bari Weiss sucks

Right at the end of watching an episode of Pluribus someone knocked on our front door and it was religious missionaries asking if I had heard the good word of the Bible and I was VERY disoriented, so I might have asked them to bring me a Stouffer's Lasagna from Sprouts

The earth is healing

Ah I see why Jeselnik liked “Perfection” by Vincenzo Latronico: it’s essentially a very long joke. For a Gen Xer like me that also attached myself to tech the way Anna and Tom did, this book is pretty devastating and an indictment of a lot of the cons we run on ourselves. Brutal punchline.

Obviously multi-player solitaire is not really a game. That's why golf, swimming, weightlifting, bowling, the 100m dash, and figure skating are not sports.

okay I'm just watching a How To Play (thanks Rodney) of Finspan and I thought let me google more about that fish and now I know about this and you have to as well www.youtube.com/watch?v=njRg...

"novels are getting worse, this booktok-recommended book I just read is not as good as Catch-22" ok

Couple next to me whispered all thru Stereophonic quite loudly. After, I said “did you know when you whisper other people can hear you?” The woman said “sorry” and the guy puffed up. “Why didn’t you say something?” Sorry dude I didn’t realize I had to tell you not to talk during a play.

Genuinely surprised some board game content creators write a review after only playing a game at a convention

y'all are grossed out by the word "moist" i am grossed out by the phrase "fruiting bodies"

I'm guess I'm watching too many TikToks because the number of "Let's goooo!" shouts in this season's The Amazing Race did not bother me at all

I've actually been pretty indifferent about LeBron, but Phil Jackson on Fresh Air saying LeBron is not a top 10 player in NBA history... that's just clown talk

Anthony Jeselnik has had some great book picks previously and here's his 2025 list www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgzj...

I have two in person auditions today so I guess hell is freezing over

wait sorry no, THIS is cinema

this is cinema

it's very funny for CP3 to go out like this

10 years from now you will get triggered whenever you see this backdrop

yes Final Draft I love having to log in to my local screenwriting app to read an FDX

You should move on from Harry Potter because JK is a transphobe but also because you're 40 years old

Neither side of the philosophical divide in "Wicked: For Good" wants to tell the citizens of Oz the truth

i'm intrigued and confused how the same Quinns Quest video has these diametrically opposed thumbnails, I haven't finished watching yet so I don't know if it's a Tom Scott-style YT hack

Cheryl finds RFK's phone, opens it up. Slow zoom on Cheryl WOMP WOMP WOMP biddity bum ba biddity bum ba dum ba dum ba dum ba biddity bum ba biddity bum ba dum fweet WOMP

TIL that Travellers count towards the Mayor ability in BOTC!

I love "The Amazing Race" but it would be so great if "racist taxi drivers" wasn't a game mechanic

breaking news steve bannon misplaces torso

oh well, BlueSky never even made it to the "golden honeymoon" period before enshittification It's useful to realize that these social media sites are just not good for us in any way I guess!

@theaterbear.com asked me the 5 best TV theme songs 1. Cheers 2. Silver Spoons 3. The Brady Bunch 4. Battlestar Galactica 5. Hill Street Blues (trying to cover a variety of "what they accomplish") His list: 1. Cheers 2. Josie & the Pussycats 3. Maude 4. The Facts of Life 5. The Patty Duke Show

Somewhere out there is a gay guy in a bad marriage that didn’t want to go through a divorce that said “dammit” after hearing the Supreme Court news

I’ve been telling people for a long time that they would never touch same sex marriage and people scoffed at me and said I was naive for years. I’m not naive, I’m cynical… never in the history of America have white men lost rights. It was never going to happen.

Primary every Dem caving on the shutdown

I think the reason women pick the bear is the bear isn't going to make you listen to an hourslong rant about why they hated that IGN preview of Arc Raiders

i had no idea you could hold down space bar in YouTube to watch at 2X speed

it's hard to argue for nuance when so many people are dumb as shit

um this doesn't rhyme

Why did volleyball change so you can throw the ball. Seems like... sort of breaks the thing that's... in the name of the sport

I think the BlueSky execs here made the mistake of jumping to the "we gloat because we're so powerful and have you locked in" when most of us are like "it's sort of fine but we could take it or leave it"

if they ever make a Dota 2 TCG I am, as the kids say, cooked

I'd love to get more folks into my Patreon because I started a Book Club, and this month we are reading "James" by Percival Everett. Here's a discount code TOKKY that will let you join for $1 for the first month! Lots of BTS and personal vlogs behind that tiny paywall! patreon.com/chrisgraceco...

people on TikTok are arguing that Jason Williams was better than John Stockton. I always hated John Stockton. There is no world where Jason Williams was better

I hope my friends in NYC consider voting for Zohran Mamdani. I think he is a bright hope for democracy (and the Democrats) in America, and it's a feature not a bug that he is ineligible to become President.

dictionary.com's word of the day!

Sometimes it seems like identity is just "which cult do you belong to?" It feels like society flattens out Apple, Marvel, Taylor Swift, Jesus, Trump, Netanyahu, Elon, and Labubus into just different toxicities (and the flattening makes it harder to identify which ones are genuinely dangerous)

If you are feeling anxious in our current tech times I highly recommend this sober perspective from Cory Doctorow: www.theverge.com/podcast/8090...

Is it crazy I like Zohran more because he doesn’t know Billy Joel?
