I will never stop laughing at the fact that Trump calls Springsteen washed-up but his administration just tried to book Milli Vanilli and could not pull it off.

I hate to be that guy but I have to ask how this will be enforced because it seems like nothing ever gets enforced.

Maybe if we complain about this enough they will withdraw from the lineup out of shame and we can go back to enjoying "The Bird" again, as the Lord and Prince intended.

If you were hoping that my WIDOW'S BAY recap this week would reference Caitlin Clark, boy, have I got good news for you.

It is WILD that we’re still doing this in 2026. people.com/lost-ending-...

I cannot adequately convey how omnipresent "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock was at high school dances. I literally never make a playlist for a party without it on there. RIP, Rob Base, I will always want to rock right now.

he was a winner, no not a loser to be an MC is what he choose-a RIP variety.com/2026/music/n...

An excerpt from an NPR interview with Stephen Colbert, in which Colbert describes why he loves Elvis Costello's "Jump Up," performed tonight on the last Late Show.

My CarPlay app is so confused that it thinks Ace Frehley recorded Chappell Roan’s last album.

In this week's WIDOW'S BAY recap, I ask the important questions. Such as: What if all the lore surrounding the island was actually made up by a bunch of people who took some hardcore shrooms? www.vulture.com/article/wido...

"Comics Unleashed With Byron Allen" looks like it's gonna be beamed in from 1997.

Aw, look at him in his little jersey.

"This is the question Patricia lives for, in the same way that Ben Stiller lives to be asked about the New York Knicks." My recap of WIDOW'S BAY episode four is available for your reading pleasure! www.vulture.com/article/wido...

All I can see is Aziz now.

My recap of last night's episode of EUPHORIA, aka the one where Cassie's boobs get supersized. (Look, I didn't write the episode, I am merely recapping it.) www.elle.com/culture/movi...

we have a real "two things can be true at once" situation brewing here... THING ONE: i can't imagine a universe where any of these shows are "good" THING TWO: i'm gonna watch 'em

Every Mother's Day, one of my best friends sends me this video and it's honestly one of my favorite things about Mother's Day. So without further ado, let Mr. T explain why it's totally fine to insult your friends as long as you don't insult their mothers. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

This auction divorce sketch is kind of delightful? #SNL

Early Pulitzer front runner

Not really Emily's point exactly but: WIDOW'S BAY rules

Look, I don't know anything about anything but I think it's crazy that the last episode of THE BEAR S4 on Hulu does not immediately take you to GARY.

I am on my back patio, it is 70 degrees, low humidity — can't we just lock this in for the next 60 days minimum?

Um holy shit?

“But what distinguishes this adaptation is not how it handles its grand and bloody moments, but the way it pays close attention to smaller, equally rich details,” writes @jenchaney.bsky.social about LORD OF THE FLIES.

Look who's back. Back again. Chaney's back. Tell a friend. No, but seriously: I am recapping WIDOW's BAY for Vulture and I'd love to have you join me on this LOST-ish journey.

Saw this headline on my phone and screamed, "No, that is insane" at my phone, even though my phone is not responsible for this. www.espn.com/mens-college...

There is nothing stopping Mike White from simply having her play Amy Jellicoe here

Got to write about WIDOW'S BAY, a new Apple TV+ series starring Matthew Rhys that is hilarious and a little LOST-y and so far up my alley it's already in my garage. Read all about it in today's WATCHING email from the @nytimes.com. static.nytimes.com/email-conten...

My recap of this week's EUPHORIA wedding episode, and my critique of Cassie and Nate's atrocious first dance, is available for consumption on ELLE. www.elle.com/culture/movi...

I am on my way home from seeing RAYE tonight in DC and my God what an extraordinary show.

I gotta bow down to the Commanders for drafting a (very good) linebacker who happens to have the last name Styles. Currently trying to stop myself from buying one of these jerseys.

No one can compete with Nelly?

A complaint I keep seeing (mostly in the Bad Place) is that critics should be reviewing MICHAEL for what it is, rather than what they think it ought to be. But sometimes critics have a moral obligation to reject the terms a movie sets for itself, or at the very least to interrogate those terms.

Listening to "We Just Disagree" on repeat. www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-...

This is horrific. I feel physically ill. (Reposted with ALT text)

I cannot overstate how obsessed I am with this song and how strongly I advise everyone to listen to it and feel joy for a few minutes. (Below from the NYT's Amplifier newsletter)

You may think that Michael Jackson had a sister named Janet but the movie MICHAEL never mentions her once, so therefore I must assume she never existed and that I completely hallucinated the releases of both CONTROL and RHYTHM NATION. (Yes, I know the backstory behind her lack of involvement.)

"Yes, friends, Euphoria season 3 is saying what no other work of pop culture has ever dared to acknowledge: that Americans love money. I know, this is the first I am hearing of this also!" My recap of ep 2 for ELLE: www.elle.com/culture/movi...

My review of THE PITT season two finale

By total coincidence, I was looking up something about SAY ANYTHING... and realized that April 14 marks the 37th (😭) anniversary of this wonderful film.

This is an interesting point. It's also significant that most Gen Xers came of age in the '80s, when Reagan was popular. Some Xers can't let go of that pro-R mindset because it's so rooted in their childhood memories and sense of identity.

If the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame does not include Olivia Dean in its tribute to inductee Sade, I am going to ask to speak to the manager of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Was anyone wanting or expecting the Pope to be tough on crime? That's not in his job description. It would be one thing if he were MacGruff the Crime Dog. Crime is right there in his job title. Not the Pope's, though.

Back in the recap business, writing about EUPHORIA season 3 for ELLE. Here's the lowdown on tonight's episode, aka "What the HELL is happening with Nate and Cassie?" www.elle.com/culture/movi...

“We were talking about the academic rigor of a liberal arts education, and essentially how it can be updated for the current economic status and job market." A perfect @tomdierberger.bsky.social interview www.si.com/nba/pacers/v...

Tonight in 1990 — David Lynch and Mark Frost's TWIN PEAKS debuted on the ABC Sunday Night Movie. #TwinPeaks #OTD

Same, except I'll be at a Last Dinner Party concert hoping I get to watch their entire set before the world ends. (I'm not trying to be glib, but as a Gen Xer, glibness and sarcasm are, unfortunately, my coping mechanisms. I actually feel sick to my stomach.)

I have reached the age where I can celebrate NCAA championships on behalf of the children of my friends from childhood. The sons of two of my best friends from middle/high school go to Michigan and are at the game tonight and even made it on TV. I am so happy for them.
