God she never f'ing misses.

I’m trying really hard not to be a doomer about the midterms, but I’m finding it increasingly difficult to locate any cogent reasons not to be

Mother Mary is the most theatre-kid energy movie ever made (compliragatory)

look, it’s time to embarrass these people. ask them if trump could play quarterback right now for the cowboys, ask them if trump is more mortal or god, ask them if donald trump deserved an oscar for his performance in home alone 2

Cookie Monster, as cookie crumbs fall from his lips: Me worry Americans not understand how me operate, think me just want cookies.

It’s virtually impossible to conceive of a worse ad placement. Literally ruining one of the literal greatest single edits in cinema history. A prime example of why physical media matters. Buy 2001, or check it out from your local library. Do not watch it on Prime.

Amazing how much a Television needle drop can accomplish here

NBA stars that missed playoff games due to injury just in the first round: Jalen Williams Victor Wembanyama Aaron Gordon Luka Doncic Austin Reeves Kevin Durant Anthony Edwards Jayson Tatum Joel Embiid Franz Wagner This is bad. Really bad. The league badly needs to reduce the schedule.

15 best movies, top of my head: The Third Man Last of the Mohicans Inglourious Basterds Raiders of the Lost Ark Royal Tenenbaums Die Hard All the President’s Men Groundhog Day Before Sunset All That Jazz Worst Person in the World Boogie Nights No Country for Old Men The Social Network City Slickers

There has never been a professional athlete whose knees apparently have a bigger target for other players to fall into than Joel Embiid

Who among you has actually seen Shoah, and how do you recommend watching it? As in, how many increments should I split it into, how long are the increments (and is it obvious where to start/stop), and how long should I break between parts? Any viewing strategy insights would be great!

I’ve been seeing everyone respond to the “Name your top 15 TV shows” prompt, and I’m consistently shocked at how rarely Mad Men is one of the listed answers. What’s going on here?

Luckily I don’t have a job, so I still get to say the first thing

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

Orlando should fire their coach immediately after this game. Don’t wait until the series is over. How do you not tell your team to stop taking long threes when they’ve missed 19 consecutive shots and given up a 24-point lead??

I, for one, am in complete support of removing 90% of American men from the political process

Name your top 15 shows ever, gut instincts only: The Wire Mad Men Breaking Bad Game of Thrones Watchmen Succession Girls Silicon Valley Veep Saturday Night Live When They See Us Barry Fargo Ozark The Studio

I’m so incredibly disappointed in the Denver Nuggets. How do you lose a decisive playoff game to a team missing its entire 4-man guard rotation? Rarely am I one to ever call a playoff loss inexcusable. But that one is inexcusable.

To celebrate an improbable seventh game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics, I'm doing a contest across my social media platforms. Follow and retweet to have a chance to get a copy of “Moses and the Doctor” along with the Dr J and Moses cards we made for the publication.

Here’s what my personal list of the 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters might* look like, in no particular order. (*Could change on any given day) Beck Bob Dylan Bruce Springsteen Robin Pecknold Jason Isbell Mark Olson & Gary Louris Isaac Brock Neko Case Eddie Vedder & Pearl Jam (1/)

There are exactly three criteria for this prompt: “Living” “American” “Songwriters” And yet the comments are filled with people yelling about the exclusion of British people, Canadian people, dead people, and people who didn’t write their best material. Pathetic Twitter behavior.

Getting the Wordle in two feels so pathetically life-affirming

Finishing up this book (loving it), and just hit a line that will be permanently burned in my memory. He describes inner city cops as “motherfuckers who roll up on you wearing the uniform of treacherous empire.” Perfect description of ICE agents, too.

Maybe the secret service just wants him dead? Because that’s one of the only plausible explanations for security being this pathetic on multiple occasions.

First thing she’s ever been right about

I glanced at some of the Michael discourse happening over on Twitter and I’ve never been more grateful to be on this silly little site instead

The person who did the original “I never thought the leopards would eat MY face” tweet should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom next time a Dem is in the White House

This is what so few people seem to understand: Feeling the consequences of their right-wing vote won’t change most people’s minds, because the entirety of the appeal in voting right-wing is the capacity for it to harm those they hate. Personal consequences are largely irrelevant.

Fun Connections yesterday for comic fans. I definitely fell for the bait with my first guess.

Just tried to turn on the Lakers/Rockets playoff game (it’s on ABC) and got this:

NBA Playoff Predictions! FIRST ROUND: Pistons over Magic, 4-1 Celtics over Sixers, 4-2 Knicks over Hawks, 4-1 Cavs over Raptors, 4-2 Thunder over Suns, 4-0 Spurs over Blazers, 4-0 Nuggets over Wolves, 4-1 Lakers over Rockets, 4-3

Adam Silver should announce tomorrow that Kawhi’s impending suspension retroactively began at halftime tonight

I feel bad for fans of any sport that Steph Curry does not play professionally

If Adam Silver sends a hit out on Jeff Bezos, I’d be fine with it

Funny story about my parents moving to France next week: They’re taking their dog with them, which is a whole ordeal that involved them having to get a pet passport, which they picked up yesterday. And on the passport, there are only three check boxes to signify what your pet is: DOG CAT FERRET

I knew a guy in college who once told me, “Being Catholic is great, because you can do anything you want as long as you say you’re sorry afterward.” Anyway, I think about that every time I see a JD Vance quote.

Welp, my dad and step-mom are officially moving to France. We spent all day yesterday loading two shipping containers. The giant lathe fit with just a centimeter or two to spare! They’re beyond done with America. Next week, they officially become ex-pats.
