As a sign of maturity, I’m finally able to admit that I don’t think I’m ever going to watch this 2021 screener of Nightmare Alley. I wish it the best of luck at the 2021 Oscars.

Just came across some old bookmarks. Sad that a lot of these bookstores no longer exist, but man I enjoyed the hundreds of hours I spent wandering through them.

Love the photos of Donald and Melania shaking hands. My wife and I have shaken hands twice. Once when we first met in 2003 and then once more as a joke in 2012 when we decided after a long drawn out discussion to just “go to the Thai place.”

Do you think Trump knew he was dressed as Jesus in the AI image he posted on the day he picked a fight with the Pope and had that door dash delivery person at the White House? Shit’s weird, right?

Been seeing some really cool pics from outer space. Is this part of that Katy Perry thing?

25th Amendment. Articles of Impeachment. Now. What the hell else do you gutless, partisan fools need to see happen? What elze does he need to say? What else?

Think it's time to accept that I'm not gonna learn how to use the skateboard I bought after I saw the movie Mid 90's eight years ago.

Saw new SpongeBob movie today. Here is my takeaway: Scrubs is SpongeBob! J.D. is SpongeBob, Turk is Patrick, Cox is Squidward, Kelso is Mr. Krabs, Elliot is Sandy. The movie was good but was hard to focus on the plot when all I kept thinking was Scrubs is SpongeBob.

6-7 gives me hope for the future. There's an entire generation out there who doesn't give a fuck what adults are up to & what we're destroying & how much we're fucking up. They have their own shit going on & they're all in on it together & it's fun & it doesn't involve us at all.

Assuming they didn’t even consider Trump’s work in quantum mechanics. Sad! Rigged Nobel!

I know a lot of people are joking about Trump’s escalator crisis, but about ten years ago, my uncle was on an escalator that stopped moving after a few seconds and it really ripped my family apart. He's literally still there. We visit him and yell up to him, etc. But it's not the same as it was.

It’s cool that Al Pacino is such a good actor that nobody even batted an eye as he’s transformed into a beautiful majestic lion.

The Trump White House is so bad at this that the proof of life video is gonna be dated footage of Trump partying with Hulk Hogan.

This guy’s commitment to his craft is just nuts. He literally fathered a child and raised that child to be a film director for this role. So admirable.

Writing a movie about a Formula 1 driver who’s really fast and could be the best ever, except that he keeps using his turning signal.

I think the problem with the internet is that I feel the need to publicly state that Richard Manuel from The Band looks like @brianrosenworcel.bsky.social from @guster.bsky.social when really this is just something I should tell my wife when she gets home from work and is tired and is ignoring me.

Look, I know some people are loving that Trump and Musk are fighting and think it’s SO funny that it’s gonna get ugly and they’re gonna reveal personal things about each other, and you might think it’s great that this is happening, and that it’s all fun and games

I feel like talking to JD Vance is probably like having a conversation with a guy who works at a guitar store. You can't exactly put your finger on it but it never quite feels comfortable or natural.

Biden should be more like Carson and less like Conan. You did the stuff, some was very good, now go away and let us remember the good stuff. Obama, on the other hand, should be Conan. Stay relevant, do some weird interesting shit for a while longer. Maybe even go on Hot Ones.

36 years later and I’m still nervous every time I eat Cheerios that I’ll accidentally eat a shrunken child who fell into the bowl.

Andrew Cuomo has the distinction of being disliked by both democrats and republicans. Based on my current understanding of politics in this country, he will be the next mayor of NYC.

This week’s main story is about trans athletes, where the conversation around them is coming from, the nuances around competition and safety, and where it looks like things might be going. Full segment at the link in our bio.

Can’t believe my scale is telling me I’ve gained that much weight in the last few years. Hilarious April fools joke. I mean if that number was real I’d be in seriously bad shape. Good one, scale! lol

James Naismith Teaching Basketball: “And that’s called a free throw.” “So when our teammate misses one, we high five them?” “When they miss it?” “They miss the free throw & then we all go over & high five them?” “Why would you high five them if they miss?” “We’ll high five them”

Is Jame Eagan played by Andy Warhol? I know the answer's no, right? Has to be no. But also, I'm pretty sure that's Andy Warhol.
