I try to put Times rage bait out of mind but when I saw this shit this morning I was truly repulsed. Fuck these people.

I’m late to this but it’s suitably ruthless youtu.be/UIE_yxflthY?...

If I were a Sixers fan (I’m not) I’d absolutely loathe Jalen Brunson

Mitchell Robinson with one of the ruder blocks I’ve seen

I think I’d be really good at writing cover headlines for alumni magazines.

I bought a hoodie that replicates Zhukov’s medal layout and it’s a real conversation piece

Watching Death of Stalin with my daughter (great movie) and did NOT know Michael Palin was in it before we started. Just the happiest possible surprise

Kudos to Drew, Roth, and Lauren for discussing my glassware storage question with all due seriousness

Hey now it’s The Distraction’s NHL playoffs preview (kinda), with @laurentheisen.bsky.social!!! art19.com/shows/the-di...

How very exciting

wasn’t bullied enough imo

I will never understand the reality-distortion field that the right has bought into around the physical capabilities of a sedentary octogenarian with the worst diet imaginable who literally hasn't exerted himself physically since LBJ was president. He can't fight! Why would you think he can?

We watched Total Recall in shop class in high school. When we got to the triple boob, my classmate lost his mind and started screaming that they never showed that shit on the Superstation!! I'll always appreciate Ted Turner for beginning the chain of events that led to that moment.
