It was either this Herblock or a Curb Your Enthusiasm sheet sex joke, so I opted to go the classier option. And also this guy needs three fewer phones.

I rewatched Desk Set this week, and what got through this time is that every single scene is designed to make you appreciate the imperfect, inefficient, rebellious, loud, clumsy, unpredictable creatures we all are that wham on stolen pianos and get things wrong and say I love you too often.

A long time ago I started to learn how to cook Sichuan food. And I always yearned to make a forever pickle crock but I never got my act together. But I just decided to try, and lo and behold I ate some beans and mustard greens out of this and hoo boy. I understand something that was scary to me.

What's your record time before pausing a movie to talk about what just happened for three hours

In 2002 I used to work in an office in a hospital, and I would kill time by editing Lockhorns cartoons. Later I would sleep in the office by wedging a pencil with a fat eraser into the keyboard, resting my head on the rubber.

Leroy, the no good husband in Reiner's neverending syndicate "The Lockhorns," a comic strip about a couple that hates each other with ever fiber of their being, is walking out smugly with a beer. Loretta, his exhausted, disillusioned wife is talking to a woman in fuschia pants and a black top. Loretta seems sad. But she always seems sad. The woman listens with a bored expression.

Here, Loretta is explaining her lack of interest in life. She is exhausted, uncertain why she must continue this humdrum existence. Leroy, blissfully, bops to the next room, about to open his third beer of the day.

And welp the next one was "Manifest Destiny."

The theme of the Bacchus floats this year was American History, and this one was titled "Give me your tired, your poor." I screamed "I lift my lamp beside the golden door" so hard my tonsils throbbed

It is very tough to learn that Carmine has left.

*I* want to take a class on Helen of Troy. I read 'Menelaiad' whenever I lose my way. "'Helen of Troy taught me what love is,' I said," I said.

Haven't watched Spiderman in about 20 odd years, but showing it to the kid tonight and I got a New York history nerd SUPRISE. Hooooooo boy June 15, 1904. Who made this little joke???

My son, excited to play Hades II, shouts up the stairs at 7am, "can I close this snip? Do I have to save it??" "mmghngrn just delete it!" The snip in question. No more effing around on google maps at 3am and texting fears to my gf

Listening to conservative talk radio is like three hours of this guy and then two with this other guy and Jack Warden hops in for the local headlines

2026 will be the year of embracing all Fezziwigs, wherever they be. Old Fezziwig wouldn't have Gemini create a survey to assess the best way to generate revenue from a client base using demographically adjusted scripts. He'd give you a loan for your goddamn oven and rejoice in your bread.

What did old Mr. Fezziwig give us? Just a good time, love, a job we enjoyed. Merry reels and days off, celebrating our efforts. What does Mr. Jorkin give us? Wealth, at the cost of a sense of purpose, community, and humanity. The slithering viper who asks, "don't you want it to be EASIER."

I never tire of watching this, and last night I paid attention to the real villain in A Christmas Carol. It's not Scrooge, it's not money, it's not even the machines that will eventually replace all of us, it's MR JORKIN. "The machines are inevitable. You want to make money, don't you?"

Well, it remains Christmas, so time to watch the best Christmas movie ever made. When the production of Hamlet is falling to pieces, Joe shouts "what makes this FUCKING life worth living." Vernon says Rachmaninoff, Terry says thinking of his son happy. Molly says, "you. You're my brother."

A scene from the first Hamlet readthrough in A Midwinter's Tale. Henry Wakefield as the grouchy Claudius, Carnforth Greville as twenty roles, Tom Newman as Laertes, Molly as Molly, Joe as Hamlet, Terry DuBois as Gertrude, Nina as Ophelia, Vernon as Polonius, Fadge in the back with hardening nipples.

too on the nose but I love these guys and this is just too sad

I haven't gotten any better but the Christmas tradition continues

Don't you ever sit there with your $17 airport beer and wonder where these come from? These bland salvos of pablum that bedeck every terminal, that shout at you above each baggage claim? That remind you that you, and only you, are responsible for making the world better?

A picture of Mike Masiello and the line "Couldn't fix it. Refused money." and then "Intergrity, pass it on." This massive ad campaign is headed by Philip Anschutz, one of the richest people in the world. He made his money through lobbying for oil interests in Colorado. Is that the kind of integrity he's talking about here?

Stuck at DCA for a few hours, resulting in my yearly rabbithole falling, into the world of the "Foundation for a Better Life." These posters are everywhere. And they're from one guy, a multi-billionaire who personally wrote George W. to get Neil Gorsuch on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Dolly Parton, who is wonderful, saying "Find the good in everybody." Which is a great sentiment! Below, it says 'Kindness, pass it on.' Who is this for?

I never understood as a kid why watching the movie M*A*S*H felt like cool water on my brain. Or getting a multiball. Or sleeping in a room with 30 people talking. Robert Altman rewards the scattered, fearful, hyperfocused mind and coyote ears. Oh how I love him. Who can listen to just one thing

Sayles was having trouble choosing who to cast as Ring Lardner (Studs was a lock as Fullerton) and someone came in with a photo and said, "uhhhh, John? John you might wanna look at this..."

Happy birthday to the man who figured out the fan was attached to the light switch!

Man, what a movie. Don't know why I woke up thinking about this scene!

The emperor of the skeksis, a cruel and vile order, is finally dying while the other skeksis crowd around to squabble and fight over his scepter. Chamberlain tries to take it but is rebuffed via trial by stone.
