Proud we have this one today.

Bad Bunny's halftime show was regular, everyday people having a great time. English or not, the message feels loud and clear. Merely depicting people as having normal, relatable lives feels radical.

Thanks to a treasured VHS of an ‘SCTV’ marathon waaaaay back when, Catherine O’Hara is a foundational voice for me. She’s remembered well here: www.theringer.com/2026/01/30/t...

I wrote about Minneapolis and why that Orwell quote everyone's been sharing makes me nervous about what comes next

My favorite writer talked to five Altadena writers about their lives and their practice a year after the fire. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Happy new year! Here is some actually good kids music by an all-star cast of L.A. musicians. open.spotify.com/album/3c4MSN...

My guy Pat over at Burning Marrow has been spinning great Christmas music all month. Here’s a fun list for today. open.spotify.com/playlist/7Iy...

Did some hack film school work to remember the miracle that was the Pages catch. And then my colleagues tossed in 51 other wild moments from the year past. Fun stuff here. www.theringer.com/2025/12/23/s...

I had to miss the latest Ohtani Game last night. After I watched the condensed game, I immediately needed @benlindbergh.bsky.social to tell me how impossible that performance was. And here we go: www.theringer.com/2025/10/18/m...

Great late-night listen. open.spotify.com/episode/7EPF...

When you're the kind of writer whom everyone turns to during a specific event, you are facing all kinds of pressure. But no surprise that my colleague (and former office mate) @davidshoemaker.bsky.social delivered on the passing of Hulk Hogan. Listen and read here: www.theringer.com/podcasts/the...

Fantastic humanity from @joelanderson.bsky.social and @bryancurtis.bsky.social today on the Texas floods. Listen and read here. www.theringer.com/podcasts/the...

Don’t screw yourself. Read the entire thing. Makes me rethink my own very cynical take on fandom. Root like Tyler.

“Game after game, moment after moment throughout this season, the Pacers have reanimated themselves in the nick of time, leaving just enough room for a miracle to be cultivated.” @dannychau.bsky.social on a magical G1. www.theringer.com/2025/06/06/n...

I just miss the cut for being a millennial but I voted in our Millennial Canon Bracket anyway. IS THAT VOTER FRAUD? Check out the bracket and decide whether to report me to the authorities. (Also student loan debt vs. ‘Glee.’) www.theringer.com/2025/05/05/p...

Lovely afternoon in Hollywood/Los Feliz.

Only at The Ringer could I write about George W. Bush and Freddie Freeman for the same package. Helluva thing my colleagues built here. www.theringer.com/project/100-...

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The perfect day (alas) to read this, by @benehrenreich.bsky.social at @flaminghydra.com

“Altadena has a longstanding Black community with roots in the 19th century and is one of the very few cohesive Black communities left in a county that has seen its Black populations shrink significantly in the last couple of decades.” redcanarycollective.org/magazine/alt...

Yuca’s was the first iconic Los Angeles food I ate when I moved here 20 years ago. The images are crystalline in my head: the sign, the communal table, the afternoon sun slanting in through the hut, and Mama’s looping cursive on a brown paper bag.

for my first piece at @the-ringer.bsky.social, i wondered why in the hell bill belichick would do this? then i started reading and watching old tape, just like he would've probably. theringer.com/2024/12/12/c...
