Was not aware how much I needed to hear Mike Tomlin’s philosophy on lighting and bathroom design in public spaces.

One of the most embarrassing playoff exits in Minnesota sports history. Great season but this was a disappointment.

This is a very good ad and obviously has Tim Robinson’s approval. Now let’s get Detroiters back on the air.

Mikey and Nicky: written and directed by Elaine May. A gangster movie, a buddy movie, a night in the city movie. Cassevetes and Falk give all-time performances. It’s grimy, dark, funny and heartbreaking. Also one of the most chosen films in the Criterion Closet.

Today is National Public Lands Day. Remember every day, that public lands should belong to the public, not publicly traded companies.

Thinking about NYTs best TV shows of the century and honestly impressed that Anna Gunn has played the most hated character in two of the best shows of all time (Deadwood and Breaking Bad).

Leaned more towards comedy than I expected. Just out of the top 10 would be Leftovers, Fargo, and Mrs. Davis, Severance, and Slow Horses. Will encourage anyone who hasn’t watched Patriot to do so. If Amazon hadn’t buried it it would have been a big award winner.

The Traitors is one of my favorite shows but this non-celebrity season has far too many people fighting for airtime by yelling “Let’s goooooooo!” Also, too many New Yorkers.

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t think an active professional athlete should be partnered with an entity that does sports gambling.

Looking at stills from the upcoming season of Monster and I’ve come to the conclusion that Sarah Paulson is the female Nic Cage.

Not sure JJ Watt has seen the Vikings play before. KOC going back to what he knows, running the ball? Wentz will be dropping back play after play until he dies.
