RIP Sam Neill

Really enjoyed seeing @weirdnightmare.bsky.social at Union Pool the other night. Their opener, Golden Apples, was also pretty incredible

my husband is doing fantasy baseball for the first time. he does not follow baseball. his team is run entirely by our 10yo neighbor, who gets a split of his winnings if she helps my husband defeat the rest of the league. they’re in 1st place! but now, a problem: today she left for sleepaway camp

I just really love what Professor X’s forbidden love, the alien queen Lillandra, brings him for breakfast in Uncanny X-Men #117, as he’s struggling with a bout of self-reflection that would in many ways…

I'm not sure I've ever seen a single sentence go downhill this far and this fast

Oh, thank god, the new @perennialtheband.bsky.social single absolutely $%! rips. I needed this in my life. I was about to put a plea into the universe that they play NYC sometime soon -- but thanks to @ohmyrockness.bsky.social, I discovered they'll be here in September! My needs are addressed!

I wonder who gets the mustache

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Jeremy Irons and Tony Danza are starting to look like each other

I want the sheer, unbridled confidence of Boots Riley going hat shopping.

I love this detail about 'It Takes Two': “The 1988 tune remains the single greatest use of a looped drum break in rap history,” the magazine [Rolling Stone] wrote in 2018. It called it 'the hip-hop equivalent' to the guitar solo in “Stairway to Heaven.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/a...

There are two kinds of bands in this world: ones that reference their own band’s name in their lyrics, and ones that are too cowardly to do so.

reminds me that I love that the poster for they came together has text at the bottom saying "PLEASE NOTE: NEW YORK CITY PLAYS SUCH A CENTRAL ROLE IN THIS STORY, IT IS ALMOST LIKE ANOTHER CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE."

Tim Curry, Rocky Horror Picture Show voice: "I see you shiver with a...disser...tation."

The sudden, shocked look Dustin Hoffman gives Redford in "All the President's Men"when someone says, "I'm a Republican," and Redford responds, "I am, too," is delicious.

45 years ago?! Look at what's happened to ME! (Still bummed a planned reboot with Hannah Simone from "New Girl" didn't move forward in 2018. )

Last night I saw “Project: Hail Mary,” starring Ryan Gosling as a character named Grace. Tonight I saw “Ready or Not 2,” starring Samara Weaving as a character named Grace. What movie with a main character named Grace am I watching next?

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

this sounds like none of my business

If you have any idea what I do, you know I can talk endlessly about ice hockey -- er, I mean about the depiction of suicide in popular entertainment. Here are my thoughts on the way suicide loss is handled in "Heated Rivalry," from @afspnational.bsky.social's Real Stories blog.

I hope Bud Cort gets to change into whatever flower he wants to be. RIP. What a fucking icon.

For Super Bowl Sunday, I am watching the 1978 Chevy Chase / Goldie Hawn film “Foul Play,” which I believe is something that can happen in football.

I know the whole thing’s gonna be Charlie XCX, but the whole “Wuthering Heights” soundtrack should just be the Kate Bush song, over and over, à la “Call Me” in “American Gigalo.”

Is Binance pronounced like Beyonce? Because that’s how I’m doing it

Every piece of dumb cop fiction is about cops doing fascist things fascistly Every piece of SMART cop fiction is a metaphor for writing, where the cop is a self-insert of the author and the crime is the society into which the fiction is released

I don't know what led me to Peter Gabriel's blog, but: "I was delighted that ‘I Have the Touch‘ was chosen for the soundtrack of Marty Supreme. The song is rarely asked out for a dance and I have always loved table tennis."

Does anyone wanna see a really good Getty image of Rita Moreno and Sam The Eagle having dinner in 1979?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but here goes: In high school my art teacher told me I didn’t know how to draw because cartooning wasn’t real art. I have wanted to be in The New Yorker Magazine since I was 19. I’m 53 and this happened yesterday:

Christmas night: "But Santa, you've hardly touched your Zardoz cookies."

Do you ever watch video reviews of products you already own, and just silently go, "Yeah, I got that."

Mamdani w/ the most savage long-form improv burn I’ve ever heard: “I went to Magnet Theater for Improv Level One,” Mamdani said of that winter in 2017, when his eight-week course at the Chelsea theater ended in a student showcase. “I think I had dreams of going to the Upright Citizens Brigade.”

We are in peak French heist season.

Me, scoping out a new Trader Joe’s: Hans Gruber voice: “Now. I know. Where you keep. The yogurt. Covered. Pretzels.”

What’s the long German expression for when you go to see a band, expecting they’re the headliner (or headliner adjacent), and it turns out they went on first and you completely missed them?

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Zohran winning is THRILLING. Bring back being able to afford NYC as a working class person. Bring back being able to be an artist without a trustfund. We lost our city to billionaires + thats not NYC. NYC is poor people, queer people, immigrants, its underdogs + weirdos + that's what makes it great.

I cannot tell you how horror nerdboy pleased with myself I am to have accurately mused, "Blood and Black Lace?" in response to these images.

That Natalie Imbruglia song, but it's "Tron."

Bob Newhart explaining the meaning of the Lil Wayne lyric, “Real G's move in silence like lasagna.” Well…you see…eh…it’s because Gs…and, and, and…by Gs, I mean gangsters…not, I suppose…not, literal gangsters…well, you see…uh…the G in the word lasagna is…is, is…silent, you see. And so the song...”

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

When musicians don’t know how to end a song, they just fade out. I think other writers should do that too. Sketch comedy, screenwriting, playwrights. Have everyone talk softer and softer as they slowly sneak off stage. Novelists can end chapters with gradually shrinking type.

God bless you, Wallace Shawn

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

Respectfully intended question: What is the difference between Rush and Yes?

This is my favourite quote from the book - in regard to filmmaking but mostly in regard to life itself. Might be one of the best quotes I’ve ever read.

Big Boi To Release Limited-Edition Washing Machine That Plays “So Fresh, So Clean” After Each Cycle

This whole thread (and yes, check out his excellent podcasts and book)

This is awesome: a "WKRP in Cincinnati" fan created a three-hour Johnny Fever radio block, by using clips from the TV show and dropping in the full songs on his intros and outros, plus commercials and Les Nessman news breaks.
