Sarah and I saw Wake Up Dead Man last night and loved it. I feel like the Knives Out movies uniquely capture what it’s like to live through this hellish era of pervasive selfishness, influencers, and online radicalization. Go watch it for yourself!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

The World Cup draw has some of the cringe-iest shtick I've ever seen.

Matthew Weiner is famously a chill, go-with-the-flow guy. I’m sure he doesn’t mind this at all.

For context: It's been fifteen years since Randall Munroe's wife was diagnosed with cancer. xkcd.com/3172/ 😭 (via @kottke.org)

If you don’t know Jesse Welles, do yourself a favor and 👀

I don’t like this new trend of acting like the year is over in… (checks calendar) MID-NOVEMBER!

“I am Dunkey, the bball-playing jackass,” he thought to himself as he drifted off to sleep.

On a rainy day like today, my son is humoring my choice of a movie to watch.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

Yeah you can sum up the failures of the best parts of the American experiment as white people disenfranchising white people because they're imagining Black people Yes it harms the rest of us too, but just by population numbers antisocial policy obviously harms way more white people than anyone else

By my count, the Blue Jays led for 27 innings, the Dodgers for 19, and 28 innings were tied.

Happy to be ruining baseball. 😄😭😁

She’s lying. One hundred seventy citizens (that we know of) have been arrested. Again, she’s lying.

“Can you hear me? I don’t want this anymore. I wanna call it off!” —my continual reaction to living in the A.I. era

My son received WIC benefits for the first 3 years of his life. Programs like SNAP, WIC, free school lunch, and SunBucks help protect our most vulnerable members of society, and what’s happening to SNAP is just one more unconscionable injustice in a long line of Trump’s unconscionable injustices.

“[If] you can’t oppose this man, it’s one of two things — either you’re cowards or you’re with him.”

Hour 9 (of 84) as a solo dad. (Granted, for the first five hours, he was in school.)

Saw this today and loved it. A story of a short writer in his 40s who fears his career is over, whose talent is outweighed by his own ego and ambition, who drinks too much and falls in love with anyone who pays him a compliment… THIS MOVIE WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR ME!

I wrote about some of the thoughts this episode brought up for me. open.substack.com/pub/hrishike...

Fight. On.

In America, young white men who make mistakes are “just kids”, but boys of color — I’m talking about *literal* kids — are almost always treated (and tried) as adults.

Rocky Balboa.

First Diane Keaton. Now MTV. They always come in 3's, so who's next?

From the great novelist Sherwood Anderson, a letter to his son.

Got mine today!

Ballots have dropped this week. Make sure to vote “YES” on Prop 50 and return your ballot by November 4!

Not only does everything suck now. It's getting worse at an accelerating rate.

“He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man... that state is obsolete. A case to be filed under ‘M’ for ‘Mankind’ - in The Twilight Zone.” S2e29: “The Obsolete Man”

I can’t remember anything that happened last week, but I still know how my boss in 2012 takes his coffee.

Here’s my voter guide this year. Ready?… Yes on 50.

Caught this on peacock. It’s there for only a few more days. HIGHLY recommend it. Just a charming, sweet little movie with some genuine surprises and LOLs.

Spending the final weekend of the regular season rooting for the Reds and the Marlins.

Third place? I’ll take it.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Do Not Give In To These Fucking People Do not self censor. Do not let them scare you Or let them scare you, but do the damn thing anyway Fuck Charlie Kirk. Fuck Trump. Fuck anyone who tries to strip us of our God-given right to say those things
