Since it was the movies unit in my Intro to MCOM class, I told my students the story about the time I was Denzel Washington’s seat filler at the Oscars and got to be the meat in a Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman sandwich.

I’m aware that there are some audio glitches on the Atmos track on the DC at the finale (folks are asking for a recall), but the opening couple numbers sound incredible. Noticing details in the songs I’ve never heard before…

Ahead of Strokes book chat, Steven Hyden talks Milwaukee nostalgia, rolling with the punches
“I love going back to Milwaukee, and I always feel nostalgic when I do. It’ll be fun to be there next week because this is a great time to be in Milwaukee.”

This kind of thing is extremely frustrating and I’m seeing a lot of it everywhere. HuffPost is attributing something to WIRED that we did not report. We identified Cuni as the ICE agent in the yellow vest carrying a rifle at the scene. We did not report that he shot anyone.
Screenshot of a news article with the headline, “ICE Officer Behind Shooting Of NYC Man Has History Of Alleged Violence, Illegal Arrests: Wired.” The article  incorrectly says WIRED identified ICE supervisor Brenden Cuni as the agent behind the shooting and summarizes allegations involving Tasers, a pregnant woman, and disputed arrests.

Yep. This one right here. And Sandra Bullock in SPEED. I was probably 11 or 12. I actually cut out a pic of Janeane from a magazine and put it in my middle school notebook. 🫣

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

An amazingly stark example of how the US economy has broken: Zaslav clears nearly a *billion* dollars amid a CEO tenure where he made basically anything he touched worse, harmed multiple prestigious brands, led huge layoffs—but delivered a corrupt merger for shareholders. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

I was a bit underwhelmed given the enthusiastic critical response - it’s very good, surprisingly funny at times, and very queasy. I found the prose a bit uninspired?

It was fine - easy to clean up, on the floor, solid. But I withheld food last night, we did both before leaving the house, and still had one in the chamber. 🤣

(Shared this elsewhere). I was typing and HEARD it on the TV before I saw it. Slowly turned my head like a horror movie toward the TV and saw Manny standing at the plate. Like glimpsing the Babadook, but then you turn on the lights and it was just some clothes in the corner hamper.

Day 1454 of Interval Training: After being up until 1 a.m. celebrating the Brewers NLDS victory, I somehow made my 6:30 am alarm but I could not bring myself to run 5K - just too zombified - so I settled for a spin instead.
