In two days, I will see Harry Styles at MSG. In three days, I will see Harry Styles at MSG again. You can't tell from the tone of this post, but I am very excited. Just trying to be cool about it, like a total Dakota Johnson.

Oh thanks. Yeah, I was flabbergasted by that whole viewing experience.

I watched the first three episodes of AMERICAN HORROR STORY:13 so you don't have to and, quite frankly, you all owe me one. www.vulture.com/article/amer...

We’re in Club Hell
American Horror Story’s borderline-incomprehensible 13th entry may or may not be cursed, but its viewers certainly are.

Can we just stop shitting on U2? It's low-hanging fruit but it's also just not warranted! They're one of the best bands to ever exist. Sorry about the iPhone thing, it was dumb, but also: *all you had to do was delete it.*

I agree with pretty much all of this, especially the Saul and Lost comments.

I reviewed the new Sharon Horgan show, YOUTH, for @ebertvoices.bsky.social and I loved it. www.rogerebert.com/streaming/yo...

‘Youth" is a Portrait of Midlife That’s Anything But Mid
Sharon Horgan delivers another terrific, sharp comedy about women, relationships and the perils of aging.

To clarify: Michael J. Fox is very much alive, he was just presented with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award during tonight's Emmys. Sorry for any confusion!

Saw the news about Bob Mackie's passing (RIP) and this is the first image that came to mind. It's the first image that comes to mind whenever I hear his name, tbh. Cher was such a badass for wearing this.

At the University of Maryland for a comedy show and it’s all college students so I feel very “Hello fellow kids” but OTOH they’re playing “Pump Up the Jam.” So.

Good luck trying to argue that cats are better than dogs after watching HEART OF THE BEAST. You'll just sound like an IDIOT.

Exactly, I know, and I find it infuriating. Also if you're trying to appeal to viewers who might be more conservative or hail from red states, other people exist. I would much rather see Leanne Morgan host than him.

I know some do, but is it enough to justify him hosting three times in three years?

I don't know if this makes you feel better, but I struggle with this all the time.
