Hey Mom. Hi. Today sucked. I had planned a day full of exciting things that I could do in your honor and push back against the annual wave of darkness that hits me on May 8. Then, earlier this week, I got a callback. For a show I love (and you loved). 1/5

I'm gonna be honest with you. When Joel told me this I was aghast. What do you mean I fell for a marketing scam and bought expensive nonsense?!?!

I DIDN’T EVEN FINISH TYPING MY LET’S GO GOTHAM POST AND WE GET A GOAL IN UNDER A MINUTE? LET’S GOOOOOOOOO #GothamFC #NWSL

It’s a very, very important day in Milo’s life. IT’S MILO’s first @gothamfc.bsky.social MATCH! He’s bundled in his Gotham hoodie and ready to cheer us on to a win!! #GothamFC #NWSL @nwslsoccer.com #EveryoneWatchesWomensSports

“Ned, you do a lot in your spare time. Downtime. You have a lot of hobbies” might be the understatement of the century from @ariellethisandthat.bsky.social :P

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

Again, if you have a Substack, the best time to switch away was months ago -- but today's the second best time.

"People have started to believe that having an idea is the same thing as making art... You didn't even make that by typing in the prompt. The computer did, by stealing. If you didn't make the thing, you don't get to take credit for saying what if this thing was a thing?"

Apropos of nothing recently announced, here’s Norm Macdonald on “Comics Unleashed” youtube.com/shorts/7qbLM...

Luke Tennie is having an all-time run right now, good lord. Dude rocks and his work is killing it everywhere!

New ep is up - Josh Rivera (West Side Story, Hunger Games, now Rocky Horror on Broadway) stopped by to talk about the long game of an acting career, staying grounded, nerd culture, and why "schedule a game" is the best friendship advice he's got. youtu.be/nrdqHv_0U6M

The best #TV show right now is The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in so long. Every episode features some of the funniest jokes I’ve ever seen on TV and I need y’all to get into it I haven’t smash rewatched a show like this since Community

In his 20s, @neddonovan.bsky.social created the "four things" rule for scheduling. Treat commuting as 1 of the 4: work + cooking + commute can fill the day, so plan priorities accordingly. dailytipspodcast.com/. #DailyTipsPod #timeManagement #overwhelm

It’s a @dailytipspod.bsky.social gathering at the Botanic Garden: The Musical listening party hosted by none other than my phenomenal co-host, @ariellethisandthat.bsky.social! #MusicalTheatre #FictionPodcast #AudioFiction #AudioDrama

The @gothamfc.bsky.social Blueprint jackets kick ass. We are so excited to rock ours to home and away matches!!! Plus the second star! Time to go get a third #GothamFC

is Shrinking the best TV show on right now? I wasn’t sold on this new season through three episodes bc of some writing that felt more on the nose than S1/2, and then they pay it *all* off in episode 4? It’s exquisite. Just exquisite.

We can all agree that Netflix releasing a show called “Finding Her Edge” is wild, right? Like they know what they’re doing? That title can’t get through approvals without SOMEONE bringing it up and them going “heh, nice”. Right??

need to make everyone in San Francisco watch this video every morning and every night

Y’all know what day it is. #GoPats

I've been dreading today. 2016 is a year I would like removed from my person. As I've watched people online look at the then and now of the last 10 years, all I've been able to know was that some point February 3rd, and we would forever be more than 10 years since W Michael Donovan passed away.

TWICE IN ONE WEEK?? It’s Gotham FC time, y’all. Join us in watching the second half on Paramount+! #GothamFC

WE’VE GOT GOTHAM FC ON TV! WE’RE BACK, BABY! #GothamFC

THE PATRIOTS ARE VACK IN THE SUPER BOWL BAYBAY! LET’S GO PATS

I’m wondering what all this software is that people now make that it wasn’t worth for them learning programming for And what all the articles are it wasn’t worth learning writing for. And what all the art is that it wasn’t worth learning how to express yourself for.

Just watched a guy hit a smelling salt before doing a crazy bench rep set, and I guess what I’m saying is that midtown Planet Fitness locations are built different? #nyc #fitness #auditionday #nycactor

Tell me true, internet. Am I about to become hooked on Lorcana? #Lorcana

The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

"The NWSL might think the Spirit are making a nonsensical decision, and they may be right. It’s still the Spirit’s call to make. If they can’t meet the 2028 cap by the time it rolls around, then the league can step in." That's it. If the Spirit eat shit with an albatross of a contract, let them!

Spain is playing out of their mind right now, and as a @gothamfc.bsky.social I’m biased to our players, but we have to give credit to how Esther is forcing the German defenders to respect her on these runs resulting in goals. She stretches them so thin and makes the space for the shot. #UWNL

It’s a pyramid scheme about to collapse. It’s ALWAYS been a pyramid scheme.
