best of the year blurb 1: grandiose pronouncements of sweeping significance blurb 2: sharp pivot to apparent tone shift that's actually, surprise, more sweeping significance blurb 8: look sometimes i just like a show, okay?

the hardest part of these convos is always writing the intro in a way that's not boring, and let me tell you, "ethan hawke had to pause this conversation briefly to retrieve a bespoke flavored toothpick," what a gift to me

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

everyone please watch pluribus, it rules so hard; when i got a new batch of screeners last month i sent my husband a text saying "i need you to come back from singapore right now so we can watch this" and he was like "haha" and then i made him watch as soon as he landed, still delirious from jetlag

8yo just suggested that the cover of weezer’s the blue album looked like the saja boys to be fair the thumbnail was VERY small

the real question is what tony nominee will be found throwing a hoagie on elsbeth this january

fear not, it's ross moderating a conversation between two (conservative) women, so it's not like he's the one spouting off nonsense, it's him smirking in the middle between two white women telling each other exaaaaacctttlyyyyy

in my quest to make sure no one ever mistakes my children for cool, I have been reading them aloud a bunch of fantasy series recently - did the pratchett tiffany aching, did the patricia wrede dragons, currently doing dianna wynne jones’s chrestomanci what should we do next!!

perhaps you would like to read my conversation with ethan hawke about the end of the lowdown, and not wanting to sell out, and quixotic lead characters, and peter dinklage with hair so long it dragged on the floor www.vulture.com/article/etha...

3 pieces of 8.5x11 slapped on with scotch tape loops

still can’t believe this man somehow went back in time to pander to vulture readers, specifically

i'll tell you what, i'm enjoying this night of making my haters my waiters at the table of success

look at this goober 😭💖

..... okay but also this show is SO stupid, and so empty and so ridiculous and the himbo they got to be married to kim k can barely say words out loud and everyone is wearing fur! and i am not honestly that mad at it!

bold of ryan murphy to begin All’s Fair with a scene made with such terrible de-aging filters that naomi watts looks like she’s being dubbed from a foreign language film, despite apparently speaking English

cuomo on brian lehrer right now sounds like he is BARELY awake

“dick cheney practiced politics the right way” by the nyt editorial board

tonight’s bedtime procrastination question amounted to, basically, why I would not help 8yo commit voter fraud

watched a TikTok of a woman making sawdust salad, a jello-based fruit dessert with crushed pineapple, bananas, mini marshmallows, and a pineapple cream topping and that’s all well and good, I have eaten some jello salads in my time but when she topped it with shredded cheese, man. a twist!

me, distracted: here kid, I picked up some books at the library! 8yo, two days later: mama I liked this book but it is about smoking weeds?

elementary school of approximately 400 kids, I counted 65 kpop demon hunters (not counting saja boys because I was pretty sure I saw some but they could just be regular demons)

look .... who knows how it will continue, but right now, this season of law and order SVU is cooking with some classic, old school SVU gas and i'm NOT mad about it

it's easy to love elementary school halloween parades but there's something so poignant about looking across the street and seeing a 12yo trudging to school at 8am, wearing a jansport and a shark costume and stuffing half a bagel into their mouth

hmmm possible my pumpkin is too ambitious this year

i'm getting the distinct sense that not enough of you are watching the lowdown, and do you not like good things???? there are GOOD THINGS

thank you google AI summary

shoutout to whichever gym teacher at my kids school designed a game where kids have to catch balls and whichever team gets to 22 first wins, and then called this game catch 22

can't believe someone once again put jared harris on screen and was like idk let's see what happens with this guy, could be anything, any outcome at all

no one’s more fun to troll than a middle schooler my husband just asked if our kid needs “maybe like a cool grown up to come trick or treating with you”

vitally important question I need help with, inspired by a sticker sheet discovered during a violin lesson did johann sebastian bach know that llamas existed

I need to stop going to the library book sale because I WILL come home with whatever this is

imagine accidentally getting a skinhead tattoo twice

aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway you should watch The Lowdown

bluesky i stg

the most incredible thing for me about this very astute political assessment from sliwa is the part where he wants to scorn the overly white suburbs and then seemingly accidentally recreates the specter of the horribly racist black lawn jockeys that used to be standard Saratoga decor

have i become overly fixated on the louvre heist? maybe. but there have MULTIPLE french museum heists in the last several weeks?? 600k worth of gold from the natural history museum! 10mil in ceramics from limoges! www.lemonde.fr/en/france/ar... www.lemonde.fr/en/culture/a...

okay I have caught up on the louvre details and wow that is some muppet-assed heisting

paging tony gilroy

just got a text from my parents who are out at a protest 😭❤️

This by @jdmchenry.bsky.social is great www.vulture.com/article/boot...

me: okay bedtime 8yo: I! WANT! TO! SKYDIVE!

looking at the netflix collection of movies categorized as "growing up millennial" and then silently staring out at the sky for a few minutes

wrote about this season of the diplomat; yes it does spoil one trivial line of dialogue in the season finale so wait if you do not want to know what baked good bradley whitford compares allison janney's chest to www.vulture.com/article/the-...

catching up on these debate clips and sliwa yelling at cuomo that he lost his own primary, followed by mamdani chipping in, "i agree with curtis!" great stuff

mamdani's shoulders slope in a friendly way and i'm not saying that's on the top 25 list of reasons he's so appealing, but it might be top 50

can only assume it must have been very funny to watch jaded tv critics me and @sepinwall.bsky.social be nonchalant about every actor at the diplomat premiere, only to freak the fuck out when eriq la salle walked by

look I know bluesky is not a hub for nara smith naming discourse but I just realized her baby names most remind me of random password generators
