I am trying not to make a big deal about this but the fitted sheet is coming off the mattress a little on my side of the bed.

They were eating shirred eggs in my book so now I’m trying to make shirred eggs. Books are so dangerous.

this would be an amazing way for It to happen

Just learned the official state song of California is some bullshit called “I Love You, California.” Should be the Phantom Planet song if you ask me.

Still haunted by Henry Cavill’s upper lip.

The long-awaited showdown between Erika and Dorit made for the best episode of RHOBH this season. (A low bar, but still.) And I got to recap it for Vulture!

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...

Laura Linney’s wig is a feature, not a bug.

For Vulture, I wrote about Amanda and West, and how the collective response reflects our changing relationship to reality TV in a post-Scandoval world.

Is this movie anti-abortion propaganda or merely fatphobic? We get into it!

Connections was fun today.

Almost 40 and I still feel a giddy thrill when my book has a pretty word I don’t quite know how to use and then I get to look it up and learn. (“Abjure.”)

This is its own form of doomerism, and it sucks ass.

sorry but it's so funny to be one of the last actual human beings getting paid a decent rate to review books for legacy media and pull this shit

Sorry for being grumpy, I am watching the Snyder Cut for my podcast.

Self-diagnosed body dysmorphia is not an excuse to contribute to toxic beauty standards and body shaming every fucking day! Just my opinion.

Val is in desperate need of a true ally. My recap of tonight’s episode of The Comeback is up on Vulture now.

Hey guys we are six months out from a milestone birthday, what are we doing for my midlife crisis.

If you give money to a person who uses their vast wealth to fund anti-trans causes, you are contributing to harm. That’s not the same thing as saying that by not watching you are somehow stopping her from her hate campaign.

Not a serious question. The reason to boycott the Harry Potter series is not just because of J.K. Rowling’s heinous views. Any money she makes from the show will be used to terrorize trans people. She has made this abundantly clear. This is not a theoretical.

It's all smiles for returning guest Tori Dunlap (Her First $100K) and one of Amy's finest performances! ICMYI: this week we covered Arrival – a perfect movie in spite of the fact that Jeremy Renner says the line, "Do you want to make a baby?" 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/a...

Tom Ripley is real, and good at murder, and my friend

Pretty sure there was a cop sitting behind us at Dog Day Afternoon based on the moments he was vocally responding to.

Just learned the chess term “zugzwang,” and I will be incorporating it into my vocabulary.

I never post pics anymore so here is this from today as a reminder that I have a face and friends.

Does the new Netflix horror series Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen live up to the promise of its title? I broke down the brutal finale for Vulture. (Spoilers, obviously.)

I kept my cool, mostly. But I do hate this movie.

At some point feeling yourself turned into incessant narcissism, and it’s not cute.

“If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things?” Tori Dunlap (Her First $100K) joins us this week for a big one — 2016’s Arrival, which garnered a whopping 8 Academy Award nominations. But not one for Amy 😡 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Made matzo brei and ate it with guava preserves. That’s just a thing you can do.

Heinous politics aside, I can’t imagine getting excited about Harry Potter being adapted again when the movies were already pretty damn faithful adaptations, and there’s truly very little interesting material in the first few books anyway.

The only tech product that has delivered on its promise of redefining its field while also preserving the best of the past is this

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

So excited to finally talk about my favorite Amy Adams performance.

The only Sora I recognize.

We have only one air traffic controller working at major american airports and are begging for oil from a country we are currently at war with, but we are also going to build a solid gold statue of trump on the moon

You know you’re an elder millennial when you’re getting spam DMs from someone pretending to be the Goo Goo Dolls lead singer.

please PLEASE make Mrs Hatt merch cc Casey Bloys

Valerie Cherish is back, and I’m thrilled to be recapping The Comeback for Vulture.

Gonna use this one a lot

ICMYI: our adventures into the DCEU continue with special guest Hannah Aaron Brown! There's lots to discuss, but one thing we can all agree on? Ben Affleck's bare Batman ass. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/b...

With respect, I don't think this movie lost because of this pretty ineffectual smear campaign. One group of Oscar voters elevated it from 90 submissions to the top 15; then another elevated it to the top 5. It is excruciatingly difficult to sit through and it lost to a movie with nine nominations.>

I enjoy the hour a week I spend watching Top Chef and then it’s back to catching up on the news and dissociating.

I switched to an Owala water bottle, which I love (not an ad). On some level I believe all adults crave a return to the sippy cup.

As much as I liked Ready or Not 2, I want more for Sarah Michelle Gellar. I wrote about it for Vulture. (Spoilers ahead!)

The moment you’ve been waiting for. Well, the moment I’ve been waiting for. I may be projecting.

Everything about Maine politics seems weird until you remember that Stephen King wrote all his characters that way because those were people he saw around town

Bonne Maman guava jam… dangerous stuff.

"It's Lois! Lois Lane! She's the key!" Tbh, we don't know what that means even after watching all three hours of the Ultimate Edition of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But Hannah Aaron Brown joins us this week to break it all down regardless! 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/b...
