My eye doctor was making small talk and asked what I'm up to. I told him I'm working on a romcom. He said he loves romcoms and we discussed favorites. He didn't know Priceless (2006), so I described it to him. As he continued to look at my eyes, he asked his assistant "Are you writing this down?"

Gavin Newsom has been shitty for ages. He's been the 'lesser evil' for years and years, always firmly on a trajectory toward 'greater evil'. Lots and lots and lots of us have been saying this forever. We deserve better than self-interested turncoats who stand for nothing but themselves.

Ben Shapiro has to suffer from being reminded again and again that 1) At most, he will only build an audience of weird broken freaks, 2) Those weird broken freaks will care more when he bashes a popular movie than when he makes his own, and 3) It's not safe to be famous among weird broken freaks.

People think of executions the same way they do the cops where there's an assumption that because it's such a heavy responsibility it must be all experts and pros back there instead of frequently incompetent/apathetic/underfunded bureaucrats trying to find the most efficient way to end a life

Once again, “Live your life in such a way that _____.” It’s okay if no one says Dolly Parton or Sam Neill things about you when you leave the room or this mortal coil, but you can realistically make sure nobody’s kayaking to ruin your vacation because of your misdeeds.

This isn’t cute. Smart people only try to make Stephen A. Smith make sense when they’re in severe distress.

The mustache craze is at its most charming to me in baseball. Bunch of Gen Z kids out there looking like Steve Balboni.

To recap: three GOP-led states that wanted the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in order to "send abortion back to the states" are now asking the Court to strike down abortion protections in blue states

The modern conservative movement is made up of a combination of true believers in this nonsense and vice signaling permanent teenagers who always seem to be saying "Mommy, look how bad I'm being!" I'm not sure anyone more clearly falls into both groups than Pete Hegseth.

p.s. "The National Panhellenic Conference, which governs the country’s 26 major sororities, maintains that sisters can’t swig booze in sorority houses — even as the fraternity down the street throws a keg party," sending the women into enemy territory to drink. Prohibition should be on frat houses.

Loved seeing Pulp: What Do You Do For An Encore? on a big screen and hearing it on big speakers. Getting to be ten feet from Jarvis Cocker and Garth Jennings was pretty damn cool, too.

DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.

Not falling for it. A couple years ago they tried to convince me that Mark Wahlberg dog movie existed. In 2028 they're gonna try to dupe me with a fake Matthew McConaughey dog movie and I won't fall for that one either.

On March 17, 2025, Eichorn was one of five Republican authors of a bill, SF2589, that would designate "Trump derangement syndrome" as an officially recognized mental illness in Minnesota.[7][8]

Arrest and resignation
On March 17, 2025, during a sting operation, Eichorn was arrested in Bloomington, Minnesota, on suspicion of soliciting a minor for sex.[9][10] The arrest occurred after he allegedly sexually solicited a detective posing as a minor.[11][9] His fellow Republican legislators, as well as Minnesota GOP chair Alex Plechash, called on him to resign.[11][12] On March 20, Eichorn submitted his letter of resignation, effective immediately.[13]

If you've ever had someone in your life who turned out to be a serial wrongdoer, but who never showed guilt, shame, or truly any awareness that they had done unusually bad things, that footage of Elizabeth Holmes is a little too familiar.

This is a very basic, common sense, rational clip of Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed making really solid points about how Trump can't read a room and just do his job to lower the price of gas, but the fact that Fox News is playing this is pretty amazing.

Look, there's some out of control movie theater behavior these days, but pepper spray isn't the answer. If you pepper spray someone, you're extremely likely to pepper spray other people, including yourself. That's why you should bring a cattle prod to the movies.
