Best "Alternative" Album Grammy Nominees: Bon Iver, The Cure, Hayley Williams, Tyler, the Creator, and Wet Leg. Four of these are the most popular music acts working today. So, as the eternal question goes, "alternative" to what?

"Death by Lightning" on Netflix is a good reminder that James Garfield's assassination is one of the most damaging tragedies in American history. He would have been an all-timer. (Garfield not pictured.)

Currently obsessed with Physical: Asia on Netflix. It is INTENSE. Rooting for South Korea, but the Philippines has heart.

I have been reliably informed by friends in Virginia (where I grew up) that under Abigail Spanberger, the commonwealth will soon be under Sharia Law. Praying for you all.

Who needs ESPN when you can watch overwrought reactions to meaningless elections (for most Americans) on Twitter for free

The Virginia election is devastating for me. Abigail Spanberger is six years younger than I am.

"Antisemitism: How Much is Too Much?" "Racism: When Does it Go Too Far?" "How to Explain Misogyny to Women" These are the core issues facing Republicans today

We need to start having a serious discussion about which members of Congress have drug problems. Especially when their behavior changes dramatically during their time in office.

I took a test for work and it said I’m an INTJ-A, which is the one that can shoot fire from its fingers, right?

Aaron Rodgers inoculated against a Steelers victory

For Halloween, should I watch the Ed Gein series, the John Wayne Gacy series, or even worse, just watch the news?

Who is the American Stephen Fry? Someone who's an actor, sketch comedian, game show host, respected historian, etc.

As I get older, one of the things that makes me happy is finding foods that remind me of being a kid. Which means I’ve been eating a lot of these:

Now you all know it's my gambling habit that kept me out of the NBA

The new Martin Scorsese documentary on AppleTV has inspired me to do mountains of cocaine

Freedom of speech is a fundamental American principle, except for people who say "you're not hungry, you're just thirsty," who deserve the death penalty

My goal in life now is to get famous enough then washed up enough to be on the next Traitors reality competition

Heads up: If you ever see a picture of me working out it is AI slop

The safest promotion any business has ever created:

When I realize my Twitter feed is on “For You” and not “Following”

It appears my neighborhood dive bar has now been exposed by the New York Times. Ugh.

Going to start selling these and calling them “crustables”

I get that the Dodgers are great, but this is a stain the Brewers franchise won’t ever shake. Just a humiliating collapse.

If your favorite NFL team loses in the playoffs, it only costs you four hours. But watching your MLB team shit themselves in the playoffs takes a full week off your life. Rooting for the Brewers is a violation of the Geneva Convention. I would rather rent an AirBnB at Abu Ghraib.

Equal parts appalling and predictable. Whenever the GOP has a chance to behave like a serious party, they go the other way.

In the spirit of comity, I will hand it to some of you people: It actually does sound kind of fun to pretend you're the dumbest person alive

From the Packers to the Bucks to the Brewers, Wisconsin teams lead all of sports in collapsing in the playoffs after dominant regular seasons.

As someone who spent the last quarter-century growing up in conservative and Republican politics, I have been on plenty of chat threads with GOP staffers. And I never saw anything remotely like what was leaked earlier this week. This is an entirely new thing on the right.

In 1916, Chicago set up a "Hobo College" for the homeless, but had to shut it down when the food ran out.

So it'll start generating photos of people politely minding their own business?

I kind of hope someone hacks my work chat because that's where I make my most 🔥 jokes

I didn't think I'd like Traitors US because I had never seen any of the reality shows these people had been on, but I'm five episodes into S3 and I am totally addicted

lol joke is on you Smashing Pumpkins, I can have a night of infinite sadness whenever I want

I wrote a piece for @msnbc.com about Katie Porter’s tantrums: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Used my day off to go see One Battle After Another, and this might be recency bias, but...it might be my favorite DiCaprio performance?

Predicting the end of radio, 103 years ago:

I'd be terrible on a reality game show because I would 100% be there to make friends

Ironing your shirts is like going shopping for clothes you already own

My Shark Tank idea: A business that comes to your house and drapes a room full of plastic so you and your friends can have champagne celebrations after sporting events. Taking investments now.
