Jesse dragged me out of bed with the flu to indulge his most desperate take yet.

Hey folks, can I ask you to do something quickly today? Allegedly, constituents aren't urging Jeffries to endorse Mamdani. Do you live in CD8? Are you sick of this guy's generally antipathy toward the duly-elected Democratic nominee for mayor? Give his office a call. Ask him to endorse.

He threw out homeless people's tents with his bare hands. I'm not exaggerating, he did it on camera, on purpose

If New York Democrats cannot immediately, stridently and forcefully speak out in defense of Mamdani against this level of fascism, they are a lost cause.

Cuomo resigned in disgrace and he continued to siphon off millions upon millions of our taxpayer dollars to pay for his own legal defense. Harassing the women he already sexually harassed at work, now in court. It is existential for our city not to vote for a man who hates us.

@brianabrams.bsky.social and I went through the series* this past weekend. The first is the best thanks to the character work, but there are things to chew over in the sequels (whether Balbricker is a white supremacist in the second, the knockoff Faltemeyer score in the third).

Delighted to report that my treatise on the farting gag in the 1983 motion picture JOYSTICKS made the final, erm, cut. A Junk Filter pod first on such a topic, apparently.

The Gawker oral history is free to download this week on the Kindle app. It was originally published right at the beginning of the tabloid empire’s demise - but to only know it as "the site brought down by Hogan" would be absurd. I’d urge any students of media to devour this thing. a.co/d/06CZpie

a deliberate plot hole that helped production avoid an egregious continuity error - we all excuse it because there are so many interpretations, and i prefer it this way. de souza and stuart's script is so in sync that this little imperfection somehow improves the movie's charm, imho

Really enjoyed that. I for one love the (highly unlikely) idea that it might have been Sinatra in the vest rather than Willis - though I’ll wager there would have been far fewer stairs in the building. And yes, Psycho II is ace.

This is a great read, packs in more cool behind-the-scenes stories than there are bad guys in the Pacific Courier truck, and really makes me wish there’d been a Reginald VelJohnson spinoff

people keep asking how John McClane knew that Hans Gruber ("Bill Clay") was one of the terrorists in Die Hard. I didn't include in the oral history bc it's way too much of a detour - but I did torture @jordanfreiman.bsky.social into posting an explainer w/ me web.archive.org/web/20171116...
