Rodeo Bar and Grill in Murray Hill. Those margs. Those cowboy kisses. And Bleecker Street Bar. (The original. The one they opened around the corner is a pale imitation.)

Seeing people who are just not wired for anything but rage and schadenfreude try to figure out the performance of grief is genuinely anthropologically fascinating

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

If Democrats cannot be counted on to stand for reproductive freedom — something that has proven to be electorally popular even in more conservative districts — then there’s no policy you can ever trust them to stand firm on. It’s just that simple.

I should know that SEINFELD always has more to teach me.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

There's absolutely no risk that I'll complain that the book is better than the movie, but also this book is unadaptable. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

I had a slightly different interpretation of this 🫡

The president gets to harm as many Americans as he wants defying whatever laws he pleases and our job is to be nice to him and make sure everyone agrees he's cool. Not sure what you people don't understand about that.

And I was right.

Absolutely obsessed with this sweet dog on our street whose owners have turned the sign on the gate from a warning to an informational placard. _________ DOG.

“following rumors of his death donald trump held a press conference announcing extrajudicial killings of civilians and plans for a military invasion of an american city” is a perfectly factual headline that could be used to describe what we saw yesterday

think about how rotten your soul has to be, how broken your moral compass, to think drag queen story hour is a sign of social decay but snuff films of war crimes is exemplary, stand out, should be shared far and wide. these people are sick

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Breadsticking with a smile.

Movie run times as recession indicator? (This is great news for me, though, a person who doesn't think any movie should be more than ninety minutes.)

Peacock should not force me to watch a razor commercial for pubic hair when I’m just trying to watch 30 ROCK with my father.

I want to believe that deprogramming through books is possible, but I've seen too many people who've read and raved about all of the morally righteous books not internalize any of their messages. www.wired.com/story/people...

As someone whose favorite ALIEN movies are ALIEN: COVENANT and PROMETHEUS, I grudgingly accept that I'm not a reliable narrator on the appeal of the franchise. So what I will say instead is that this @aftermath.site piece makes a case for ALIEN: EARTH that many of you might actually agree with.

Every breath wasted on “this is just a distraction, it’s a few guys running around embarrassing themselves and pissing off people” ignores the critical facts that: - they continue to get away with it - it builds the tolerance for it - it allows the secret police to practice and build courage for it

Oh no, are you scared of the big city? The loud noises and the bright lights? Does baby need a new diaper?

Friendly reminder that 12 O’CLOCK BOYS is a fucking rad documentary.

Pushing in on this sign twice in one episode while the police talk about everything they did to try to solve the Austin yogurt shop murders . . . yikes.

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

Just got out of WEAPONS, and hey, it’s the guy from DOWN PERISCOPE.

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

I'd been spoiled for almost a decade by the Alamo Drafthouse, and the ad package for the first movie I saw in Philly (SUPERMAN, at my local Regal) included a commercial "starring" a little girl who was—I shit you not—asking for kidney donors for her mother. The absolute grimmest shit ever.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

Little Free Libraries are great, but Little Dog Libraries are better.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Went to see a repertory screening of BLUE VELVET earlier this year, and a couple in one of the first few rows absolutely had enough and marched out two hours in, when Isabella Rossellini said that Kyle MacLachlin “put his disease in me.”

ok I am 150% against him on this and most issues, but I do think "That's a matter between me and my grammarian" is a phrase I'd like to adopt

This is so perfect. "Dead Center" and he's so far to the right that he's half off the cover

I was so excited to move to Philly but VERY anxious about how Story would acclimate. She’s exceeded my wildest hopes, being inquisitive and happy and brave, including today at the vet, where we went for some tummy troubles. Please clap.

Tell me I’m wrong.

RIP to a real one

It’s his own personal Scabby the Rat

Disneyland in California rather than Disney World in Florida; Nantucket in Massachusetts rather than, whatever, the fucking Isle of Palms in South Carolina. I hope that egghead follows Vance for the rest of his miserable life, in every blue state he prefers over the red states that support him.

The win emboldened Thiel to come out from behind the curtain and actively fund and advocate for his techno-fascist worldview. All because Hogan fucked his best friend's wife and Gawker wrote about it.

Do you get President Trump if you don't have Peter Thiel funding Hulk Hogan's sex tape lawsuit that shut down Gawker? I say it's a straight line from one to the other.

It's there now, and lol. Lmao. My thanks to the Wikipedia soldiers, the bravest of our troops.

I successfully did it. They're a smidge too high, and I hate them. The quintessential Facebook Marketplace experience.

I can't think of an upcoming movie release I want to see less than EDDINGTON, but I do need someone to upload a full plot description to Wikipedia.

Trying to get a response from anyone selling counter stools on Facebook Marketplace so I can finally have a flat surface to work on.

Third and final day of our drive from Austin to Philly. No one look inside our car.

We thought we had said goodbye to Buc-ee’s outside Waco, but we’ve stopped at two others, including this one in Crossville, Tennessee.

Road trip essentials.

I’ve never seen two worse states to play the license plate game in than Texas and Arkansas. I can’t even get an Oklahoma or a Louisiana.

Sabalenka seemed so annoyed at Anisimova for not apologizing when the ball skipped over the net in the third set that I really thought it would power her comeback into a win.
