Lebron is an incredible basketball player but he is a pretty annoying star

LeBron raises glass in 'decision of all decisions' LeBron James teased a second "decision," which turned out to be an ad for Hennessy, the cognac brand with which James has been a longtime partner. The announcement prompted a boost in ticket prices fo...

All that for a Hennessy ad? C'mon man

and what if in so doing they were like the 2nd greatest American rock band of all time

I love CCR. What if some guys from Berkeley pretended to be waterbillies from Houma, Louisiana , as a bit

Dubai is a bug light for dumb guys. It's all fast cars and living at the mall with the cops to keep "those people" out. It's the fantasy of a twelve year old.

“No Kings” is a great rallying cry against Trump but applies with equal force to John Roberts and his merry band of Neo-Confederate freaks

The concerted media apparatus for individualizing the climate crisis and victim blaming ordinary people for it is so depressing

Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes" "You made a deal with this devil, turns out my dick's bigger" "Everybody's so punk on the internet" "So we all dressed up as wolves and we looked fire" "Got me drеaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop - Boss up, settle down, got a wish list" "Please, God, bring me a best friend who I think is hot" "He dick-matized me and opened my еyes - Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see - His love was thе key that opened my thighs" "Good thing I like my friends cancelled - I like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal" "Did you girl-boss too close to the sun?" "Who's the baddest in the land? What's the plan? - You could be my forever night stand" "They ripped me off like false lashes - And then threw me away" "Her name was Kitty - Made her money being pretty and witty - They gave her the keys to this city - Then they said she didn't do it legitly"

I cannot believe these lyrics from the new Taylor Swift album are real

Someone really signed off on publishing this

proprioception was a mistake. why should I know where my limbs happen to be at any given time. how is that any of my business

SWIFT: Trav, honey?
KELCE: (looks up from first edition Krazsnahorkai in original Hungarian) (pauses rare Steve Reich LP, Japanese pressing) Yes?
SWIFT: What rhymes with "thighs"?
KELCE: Hmm. "Belies," perhaps?
SWIFT: (under her breath) Oh for fuck's sake

Operation Grand Slam during the baseball playoffs

It's the revival at the Charles this week. Tonight at 7pm, Thursday at 9pm.

The Senator's revival screening this Wednesday evening is GOLDFINGER (1964) in case you are in the mood for Pussy Galore

The sound mixing, divine. It's loud in your living room but in the theater it's the loudest film you've ever seen. The shootout is non-stop cacophony
