I love how the last two Christopher Nolan movies feel like book reports from a kid desperate to prove he read and understood the material

Odysseus is peak “high intelligence, low wisdom.”

here’s my offer, The Atlantic magazine, I will read the next “reactionary pretends to give honest advice to Democrats” take if you let me write a piece where I, a DSA member, pretend to give honest advice to Republicans

I can’t tell if Lindsey Graham was jealous of the attention Mitch McConnell was getting or if he was doing him a solid by distracting us.

I am making fun of this primary but it is very important to me that after this gubernatorial election, I never have to see Gavin Newsom again. I need the rest of the country to get on board with that goal.

The natural conclusion of making writers turn themselves into brands is then stealing their identity as a commodity.

Your Ring camera can scam passing dogs and compare them to databases of missing dogs and that’s heartwarming and there are absolutely no sinister implications that’s why the guy in the button-down and Dockers is soothing

Second year in a row the halftime show had me standing on my couch screaming and then I looked at the score and remembered how bad the game’s been.

It’s impossible for me to hear about 250 years of unity and NOT immediately think of the Civil War. It’s like “don’t think about an elephant” for me.

I think the only thing I’m going to take away from this Super Bowl is that I don’t listen to Green Day enough. And I just bought the special edition of Warning on vinyl.
