"What about the Mets? They spent all that money and lost!" Sure, but that misses the point. Baseball's financial inequality doesn't mean every team that spends a ton will win the World Series. Only that a team that doesn't, won't

Being a fan of a small-market baseball team like the Brewers is like getting excited about a Democrat running for Senate in a deep red state. You think you have a great candidate but in the end you just end up getting swamped by the math

Flacco is terrible against everyone except the Packers I guess

Spelling Bee had a chance for a glorious 13-letter triumph with the very real word FANCIFICATION and it didn't include it? Thousands of word nerds are shaking their heads sadly

The meeting of the generals was like watching a middle school theater production being put on in front of Broadway actors, and the Broadway actors are being told to emulate the middle schoolers

People like to compare this current moment to Idiocracy, but that isn't really fair. President Camacho actually cared what was happening to his constituents

If I never again see the Packers throw that lateral pass to WRs near the sideline, it will be too soon

If Taylor Swift is out, maybe we can finally get the Super Bowl halftime show America needs: Weird Al and the Muppets

Props to Sarah McLachlan for picking the best night possible to go on Jimmy Kimmel

People make fun of Disney adults but you gotta admire how scared the company is of them, to the point they'd rather piss off the President of the United States than Bob and Molly from Ypsilanti who take annual Disney cruises

Most embarrassing loss of the LaFleur era?

Jordan Love has made some boneheaded decisions today.

Not in word list? Okay Spelling Bee-oomer

Look I'm as anti-violence as it gets but I do think it's fair to be irritated at calls for civility from the same people who made jokes about Nancy Pelosi's husband getting attacked with a hammer

This Athletic article making me curious which coach Matt LaFleur slept on. Luke Butkus looks pretty comfortable, but I bet Jeff Hafley gives good spoon #Packers

What a statement opening game from GB, my goodness

I will forever have a soft spot for bands like the Eurythmics that are just one dude with a synthesizer and one really spectacular singer

Star Wars predates the last official execution by guillotine in France

Same with screenwriters. Every conversation in Hollywood right now is like being at a funeral for someone who drove you nuts but you loved them anyway

Has anyone ever had a weirder long-term career arc than Liam Neeson

Christmas lists in the Midwest gonna be LIT

Oh boy. Luka is getting Revenge Hot

Man, what I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall in the Colbert writer's room this week, they just should just say eff it and record it for a documentary

People think social media is too invasive but LinkedIn messages are like "I looked at your building on Google Earth and saw you could use solar panels, I drew up a blueprint" or "I saw you use Shopify and made this 20 point presentation, can we get on the phone TODAY?" It's positively deranged

Arguing trivia questions you couldn't get the answer to. A friend and I disagreed about who sang Der Kommissar and we fought for a week about something the Internet could have settled in seconds. The irony: there were two versions (Falco: German, After the Fire: English) so we were both right/wrong

It's so weird how obsessed the NYT is with college. Protests, faculty, which schools people went to, how they APPLIED. Unless they murdered or assaulted someone I couldn't care less what people did from 18-21. It's honestly kinda creepy, like the 25 year old who keeps going to high school parties

John Mulaney once described the New York Post as "like talking to someone who heard the news, and now they're trying to give you the gist" and I feel like that's a pretty good description of what AI is doing to Google search

You wouldn't have thought it even possible for this country to find a worse President than George W. Bush AND a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney, yet here we are

United Airlines not letting me get a seat next to my child because all the middle seats were preassigned upon purchase to force people to have to pay extra to get an aisle or window feels like a pretty good snapshot of America in 2025

Saw this Tesla with a pink rear trunk logo and a MAGASXY license plate today so if you need me I'll be rinsing my brain out with bleach

If you had told me as a 13 year old there would be one TV show chronicling the further adventures of Boba Fett and another exploring the origin story of Mon Mothma I would 1000% have guessed wrong about which one would kick ass

I can't even imagine how much it must have cost George Soros to pay all those people not to go to Trump's parade

Stood next to Gene Siskel at the urinals in a Chicago movie theater

If they can blithely do this to a US Senator, what do you think they're doing to the powerless people they throw into vans?

People who don't live in LA make fun of it for being fake or whatever surface-level impression the national media barfs out but this place has been through shit that would cause most other cities to curl up in a fetal position, good luck starting your cosplay crackdown here

There aren't enough 💯s or 🎯s for this post

When I was watching La-La Land at the ArcLight, there's a scene where the fire alarm goes off in Ryan Gosling's apartment, and at that EXACT MOMENT the fire alarm went off in the ArcLight. It took like half a minute before the audience realized it wasn't just the movie and we had to evacuate

This is totally the guy at Burning Man or Coachella who fills you with dread when he starts walking over to talk to you

In the late 90's I worked at a magazine called Internet Underground, and wrote freelance for Yahoo! Internet Life. There were multiple glossy magazines not ON the Internet, but ABOUT the Internet. That pretty much sums it up

Man, that theme still gives me chills. I'd put John Williams' scores from 1977 to 1982 (Star Wars, Close Encounters, Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET, Empire Strikes Back) up against any 5-year stretch of creative output in existence www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox8Z...

Bridge to F@*(&@(*&!@ Terabithia

Can't believe a bunch of Cardinals elected a Cubs fan

Imagine how clueless you have to be about the current state of modern Dem politics to think Make Anything Anything Again isn't an immediate ipecac for your base

"Prank" is such cop-out framing here. That's like someone saying "I slept with your wife as a prank!" You shouldn't get to claim PRANK! when you shiv someone in the heart

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” - no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LotR)

I think the thing that grosses me out the most about Vegas is the air. Everywhere you go, Airbnbs, restaurants, hotels, it just has this lingering staleness that can't quite by fully recirculated out due to the requirements of constant AC

this whole administration is like when they shut off the containment unit in ‘ghostbusters’

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

60 Minutes hire Philomena Cunk, you cowards
