More and more people are saying this

Stupid, cowardly, shameful bullshit decision that will not stop attacks on PP, not stop attacks on women’s health in WI, and betrays everyone who fought so hard against the ban that was on the books.

Love seeing this as a show note: I can confirm, @jlohaylo.bsky.social and I are real. (Got to subscribe to the pod if you want that last name, though: like feet, it ain’t free.)

When I made this joke I was just goofing randomly (I was going to go with ‘longshoreman’ which put stevedore right there) but even this makes more sense than ‘matador’. ‘He’s good with his hands and knows his way around a port’ at least _kinda_ makes some sense

My wife likes to call me ‘a sexual stevedore’

Still: cheaper than a new car payment.

The fun thing about owning an aging car is taking it in for a weird sound and finding that they could fix that for free (just a new bolt!) but finding two grand worth of other problems in the process.

I took my kid back to school, and @davidjroth.bsky.social got palmed some Donruss to try to "make this thing go faster." Let's crank some beats by Young Master of Ceremonies and get weirdly nostalgic for the humbler evils of the 2004 election.

blogged some important breaking news yesterday www.theringer.com/2025/09/23/n...

I reviewed ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, which continues a recent trend of movies in which Leonardo DiCaprio plays a pathetic man who thinks he has greatness in him.

Alright. Four more shows. If you’re in Indy, you should come and I will buy you a shot and beer at Turner’s after the show. The 50% discount code if you buy 2 tickets still works: WAD50. This is the best play. 85 minutes of fast-paced theater. Come through. www.phoenixtheatre.org/buy-tickets

Releasing an interview soon with @davidjroth.bsky.social where we visited the headquarters of Topps and talked about the history and mystery of Guy Remembering. If you want to hear him exclaim "Ah, fu*kin' Corch!" when he comes across a Chris Corchiani card you have no choice but to subscribe.

Middle age is just learning to deal with a rotating series of ailments with occasional breaks in the monotony to add a new one to the list.

I thought I was getting a dog, but I got a very wiggly weighted blanket

Excuse me?

I’ve been at home convalescing with Covid & wanted a light-hearted read. The Road to Tender Hearts was in my Kindle borrow pile, & I can’t recommend it enough. Zany yet moving.

If you're going to put someone like Lina Khan in a position to make some things better for consumers and working class people, you better be willing to own it and brag about it, not just treat it as a quiet facet of your administration. You're gonna get heat for it, might as well frame it.

THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR, the best film at Sundance this year, hits theaters on October 10 and then comes to Netflix the following Friday. If you can see it on the big screen with an audience, do it.

my new book is OUT TODAY! it’s been described as "the writer at her best: mystified, curious, pathetic, absurd" — you can buy it here

Twenty-one years after the hardcover, the audiobook edition of The Lobster Coast goes on sale today from @tantoraudio.bsky.social. Thanks to all the readers who made this cultural history of coastal Maine a go-to book for understanding my native state and its people. www.amazon.com/Lobster-Coas...

I’ve never been high, but if I ever were this sounds nice as hell

there is a long Tibetan Buddhist practice of meditating upon foulness, such as the death and decay of the body or your own consumption by demons, in order to achieve enlightenment. I have developed a new school of thought where we meditate on this instead.

The Brewers are cowards

This movie kicked all sorts of ass

TFW you’re ‘groomsman’ shaker outlasted the groom’s marriage

I don’t want to yuk anybody’s yum: there are people that Stan Buc-ee’s, and if that’s their thing I am happy for them. But i have serious reservations about someone’s seriousness as a person if they drive six hours round trip to go to a gas station.

Absolutely the most embarrassing fucking people.

It was a pleasure to be a guest on Nicolas Rapold's great podcast THE LAST THING I SAW. We talked about Venice and Toronto, and went long on the new Paul Thomas Anderson film.

lol no

It’s always important to be honest with your team, and some times you just got to tell them ‘I’m hungover so we are going to be keeping this meeting short’

it's nice to start the morning with a laugh

This iOS update is Windows Vista coded with this ‘frosted glass’ stuff and I feel extremely triggered.

When they ask you to be a pallbearer but you thought they said Paul Bearer.

The kids that were just starting middle school and that I’d see walk to school when I moved into my house have been graduated from college for a couple of years now, and I really hate having this realization before I’m supposed to go to bed.

If there’s not fireworks and entrance music for eulogizers at my funeral, it’s going to confuse the hell out of a lot of people when stone cold Steve Austin’s music hits and somebody comes out and hits a pallbearer with a stunner.

Get in losers, we’re grieving

It’s delightful to watch Lizzy implement the Mystery Method on Mr Darcy with some well placed negs

Hell yeah, 1800s clap back 👏

Mr Darcy is a snack

Happy 75th birthday to the one and only Bill Murray. Watch him all day, including GHOSTBUSTERS, SCROOGED, and STRIPES, now playing on Pluto TV Icons: pluto.tv/us/live-tv/6...

If I had a dollar for every time I felt this

Whenever i see Autumn Reeser in a hallmark movie i think ‘we have linda cardellini at home’

As a Drive-Away Dolls defender, I was hoping to like Honey Don't, but it's a frustrating slog that's never as subversive or exhilarating as the vintage genre pictures it pays homage to. Here's my review:

My biggest pet peeve in football: coaches calling plays on the assumption they’ll make the kick when they should be calling plays on the assumption they’ll miss the kick.

None of our favorite brunch spots have Sunday ticket, so I’ve taken matters into my own hands

When I ask ‘why would I want to listen to loud magic while eating my breakfast’ the restaurants here respond with ‘why not?’

Brunch in Silver Spring continues to prop up the greater DMV’s DJ economy
