I don’t need a Spotify wrapped for every app I use. Taco Bell telling me my most ordered item isn’t fun or cute. It’s depressing.

Just a reminder that One Battle After Another is a Christmas movie.

2025: A SPACE ODYSSEY

Few things in life give me more satisfaction than my wife asking me to retrieve something from a high shelf.

Oh, countries are allowed to do that?

Not sure I’ve seen a more fascination letterboxd rating distribution.

And Luther’s wife was a nun! They lived dirty in the olden times lol.

“On behalf of Director Park Chan-wook's new film, we are cordially inviting all Fortune 500 CEOs to a special screening of NO OTHER CHOICE. This is truly a film that speaks to our gracious executive leaders and the culture they have cultivated.” Beast mode shit.

Private equity must be stopped. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/u...

Cars are the ruination of LA. The best way to celebrate Los Angeles and Angelenos is to have some car free avenues where people can exist without the threat of being run over.

Tons of people talking about what a gifted director of comedy Rob Reiner was but to me his most impressive movie is MISERY (1990). Absolutely expert handling of suspense beats - Reiner could've spent his entire career as a successful thriller director if he so chose.

Rob Reiner had a hand in writing, producing, directing, knowing a guy, pairing up talents, punching up a script on the down low, doing a cameo for like so much of the funniest shit coming out of Hollywood the last 50 years. His influence is seen everywhere

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

Wow, that must be so terrifying to think you're being abducted.

Former studio and home of ceramicists Otto and Gertrud Netzler for sale for the first time in 80 years. Absolute dream home. 7837 Woodrow Wilson Dr Los Angeles, CA 90046

Don't know how the Athletic Director still has a job. Scandal after scandal involving coaches and department employees. It's almost impressive that he's hired three coaches in three different sports who've embarrassed the university in new and increasingly bizarre ways. Warde Manuel needs to go.

This is important 👇

gotta say this set aged pretty well www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy2b...

This is a good piece; it’s frustrating that my cited post resonates beyond the bubble of people who like my work & yet that resonance will not, cannot, move the tech people actively making things worse. Not one of them cares. Their vision of the future is “we make more money.”

Happened with my daughter. She was diagnosed with a heart condition a day after she was born and needed surgery. Was told we had a month to get her a plan. Turned out we actually had *until the end of the month* - 4 days away. Was this close to having to pay for infant heart surgery out of pocket.

What? A system where the wealthy have access to the best doctors? Where you must see a primary care doctor before a specialist? So the system we have right now? How do you look at the health care costs and results in other countries and say with a straight face that the American system is better?

This is literally what Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind was about btw

It requires theater managers to act as follows when people talk or browse their phones

Was driving my kid to school this morning and Santa Baby came on the radio. Really listened to the lyrics for the first time. I imagine I'm really late to this but this is a super dirty song.

Tubi is such a crazy streaming service. It’s like if the Criterion Closet was in a gas station

1. Apparently, not having sex with staffers is a very hard thing for football coaches in Michigan. 2. Can we get DeBoer?

Watching the Diddy documentary. These fuckin jurors, man. “If she was really abused, why did she stay?” In the year of our lord 2025 you ask this question? What are we doing here?

Sorry if music or art or relationships or happiness slows down your grindset with its horrible human imperfection and oddities but it’s kind of the point of living in a lot of ways

There’s a real link between AI writing and Silicon Valley meal replacement drinks and the entire fuckin swath of maximizing the human experience and it’s that they view pleasure as being unhelpful to life. I don’t want a drink that replaces a meal, I don’t want a book summary, I want to savor things

Sir, Ohio State has lost another 13-10 game.

Wow Indiana gonna do this shit

What strikes me is that this is one of the best statements on the issue of GenAI that I've ever read.

Once a year, people are like, let’s put a whole ass tree in our living rooms.

I honestly think these generative A.I. companies should be taxed like cigarettes and booze. Tremendous social cost to this shit.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

I don't even like it when people wish me happy birthday.

Yesterday, the Deportation Data Project posted new FOIA data on ICE arrests through October 15 and it’s staggering how much it instantly disproves every claim the Trump admin has made about targeting “criminals” during its splashy arrest operations. Here’s arrests in Illinois since April.

Can't help but think of The Zone of Interest, which doesn't frame the holocaust as only an expression of hatred, but also a desire to take other people's things. Theft and cruelty in search of an ideology to justify it.

Imagine A.I. but with a technology that actually kind of looked cool.

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

Never knew Conrad had such a sick mustache.

No better evidence that rich people have too much than paying $599 to have toilets photograph their own shit.

"Kohler can access data and pictures from toilet camera" It's amazing what passes for a totally normal sentence in 2025

They should roll with this like David Lynch did. Make a new season where the crew members are demons.

Even by the standards of The Atlantic, this is an extraordinarily weak evidence base for an article. Data from a tiny handful of schools that isn't measuring the variable at issue and a few thin, secondhand anecdotes. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

This feels even more controversial. (The best Christmas movie is obviously Morvern Callar.)
