me, approaching the bench: i dunno, dawg. if you’re signing warrants and didn’t know this, i’m thinking that’s a you problem your honor

the demon hunter movie is very silly and not at all for me but also i totally get it and support it winning multiple Oscars!

i can't imagine seeing a more joyful sports moment this year

in other words, the choices are fight and risk the loss of home rule...or admit you already lost it a good profile in cowardice from (non-coward) @maustermuhle.bsky.social 51st.news/tax-bill-dc-...

You just have to bank that this will continue spreading aggressively in the run-up to July 4, and remain in place until January 2029—just like the troops that occupy DC’s streets.

There is a bad-faith effort this week aimed at Spike Lee for what he wore to the All-Star Game, and rather than post any of the very stupid and lazy columns, I'll just remind everyone that BlacKkKlansman is one of the most important Jewish films of the last decade.

This is important journalism

I’m still pissed at everyone who enjoyed Spider-Man No Way Home, a cgi slopfest that made me feel dead inside and angry at the world.

we need a “Notes on Camp”-style manifesto for what is and is not a dive bar. Performance as a “dive bar” would be right at the top of the list of what is not a dive bar

Everyone’s overthinking Stephen A. The simplest way to end his political career is to let him on the debate stage and make sure there’s at least one other candidate who actually knows ball.

Many years ago I wrote a press release announcing an overtly political Springsteen concert. As a gag I turned in one draft with this many references to his songs and to this day it remains the worst thing I ever wrote, so to make a statement phrased like this in public takes some real shamelessness.

no kings on e street (but yes bosses)

say hi to your mother superior for me

sorry but this is such a first-term non-concern. Five MLB teams (WSH, PHL, STL, CIN, LAA) were wearing bright red caps on a regular basis long before MAGA became a thing. Just be a fan of your team without worrying your cap is a chud bat-signal. It’s not.

I saw this, so you have to see this and be reminded that we live in the stupidest, horniest timeline

Choose one: DC fights this forced tax conformity law in litigation against the US that could test the very essence of the Home Rule Act OR...Trump vetoes the resolution but he gets to rename a non-federal DC landmark of his choice after himself And if the latter, which landmark are you sacrificing?

Got a yellow card for executing an aggressive slide tackle during a very rainy JV soccer match. Yelled “what the fuck?” at the ref, got the second yellow card.

weirdly they are only making one copy of this and @mattdcohen.bsky.social already preordered it

Robert Duvall starred in more legendary movies than any one man had a right to. RIP to one of the all-time greats. www.thebulwark.com/p/robert-duv...

And because art is inherently about creation and inspiration, and the MAGA philosophy centralizes the intentional destruction of joy, imagination, and beauty. “MAGA art”—if there is such a thing at all—is just a mirthless puddle of reactionary vulgarism.

once again it is time to watch the greatest cinematic portrayal of a US president

Kawhi showing some real…aspiration

bad movie, sorry

Allan Houston’s shot still looks great. Can we give him a 10-day contract?

extremely cool flex of mayoral power and can you imagine how awkward and weird any of his four immediate predecessors would be at this?

TIRED: The moon belongs to everyone, the best things in life are free... WIRED: The moon has been sold to venture capital and to even look at it will require a minimum $500K investment.

i wish I had some senators so I could tell them how much their chamber sucks

The hypocrisy argument is useless when the only thing your enemy understands is pain

I’m never going to take anything seriously again

Bluesky in a nutshell. Some context: BLS released its jobs numbers today, which were better than expected, and resistance libs would rather stay mad/conspiratorial than listen to actual on-the-ground experts that the data is still reliable.

I’ve got two guesses, both of them terrifying to think about, neither involving UFOs

whatever you do, don't panic. don't fucking panic!

Extremely exciting news: We're hiring a full-time film critic to come work with me at The A.V. Club! You probably have an idea if you're qualified for this, but if there's something that's not in the job listing, I'm sure I can answer Qs www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43...
