Guy's Grocery Games role in getting me through COVID lockdown put it THIS close to making my top 10.

Decided today that Chris Fleming moves through the world with the same physicality as Jack Skellington and will never be able to unsee it

I found Arsenal in 2007, just in time to miss the last glory era. Strange that after all the pain and waiting and pandemics and injuries the moment we get over the line is marked by me quietly crying at my desk, but I'll remember it forever. COYGGGGGGGGGGGG

Media laying off the best writers of a generation continues to be a major fucking bummer. In the meantime, buy some books from Matt at mzs.press! So much good stuff and you get the bonus of supporting an all-time great!

Being grouped closest to “Queer Leftist Creative Professionals” and “Millennial Women Pop Culture Enthusiasts” is the best compliment I will receive this week.

What’s absolutely the best about this night is that he did it by talking about what people really care about AND supporting the people moderates say we have to abandon.

One Battle After Another is a masterpiece because it captures the essence of what’s going on. All these people - these awful, sad, evil people out here doing this bad shit - are, at their core, pathetic, hilarious losers. They’re comic villains parading as tough guys.

You can audibly hear the crowd audio be cut during the US Open national anthem bc they were booing Trump, lol.

My first grown-up job w/ a PR agency in NYC. We found out she had been pocketing our insurance payments but not paying the insurance company ... which was discovered when our office assistant went to the doctor. We had to threaten to sue to get paid back. The company went under a month later.

Someone needs to primary this guy as soon as possible. What good are representatives if they won’t even stand up in a time of such peril? I’d say to call his office, but sadly feel like that’s not going to do the trick here.

Tonight I sat by a 66 year old man at an MLS match who shared loudly that he just read The Diary of Anne Frank for the first time and “really enjoyed it.” Was also “shocked” to learn that she died. So thrilled we’re currently gutting education standards across the country

It’s almost like he never understood the righteousness of forgiving student debt and only did the bare minimum when he thought it would buy votes. True colors showing more with every final day he’s in office

What do you mean the cop was a bad guy all along? Who could have foreseen such a twist?

I made the top 10 so I guess I’ll take it? Def glad to have fled the Elon boat before it sank ALL of the way (and then set itself on fire, repeatedly)

Before you cheer for Emma Navarro’s big US Open win, probs should google her dad first. Not JUST a billionaire, but one who “revolutionized” American debt collection …

Found out my 4-year old niece calls eggnog “candy milk” and it’s all I’ve been able to think about for WEEKS.

I know the nose discourse surrounding MAESTRO was intense, but it didn't prepare me for just HOW distracting the makeup is. How did no one talk Cooper out of such a terrible call?

Buying decorative gourds is great, but have you tried letting the squirrels run wild and scatter pumpkin seeds all over the yard? Just wait 10 months and boom, pure unadulterated Autumnal chaos. Fucking vines all over this bitch.

As the other place continues to flame out, this is my plea that this platform delivers on my need for constant updates on progressive thinking, football and hot ass film-related gossip

Excited to reach the phase of late stage capitalism where a different billionaire recreates the the original version of the same app every five years to replace the last version, which has been burned to the ground by a previous billionaire. Soon this cycle will replace the lunar calendar.
