I read books for work, and I read books for fun. Sometimes I do other stuff in between.

A real toss-up on which is more obviously sinister: a butcherโ€™s apron with no livestock in sight or a handlebar mustache.

Little Free Libraries are great, but Little Dog Libraries are better.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Went to see a repertory screening of BLUE VELVET earlier this year, and a couple in one of the first few rows absolutely had enough and marched out two hours in, when Isabella Rossellini said that Kyle MacLachlin โ€œput his disease in me.โ€

ok I am 150% against him on this and most issues, but I do think "That's a matter between me and my grammarian" is a phrase I'd like to adopt

Story the yellow dog, posing in front of a veterinary lift table, something sheโ€™d never been on before today but accepted with minimal fuss.

I was so excited to move to Philly but VERY anxious about how Story would acclimate. Sheโ€™s exceeded my wildest hopes, being inquisitive and happy and brave, including today at the vet, where we went for some tummy troubles. Please clap.

Hard to think of a more egregious example of โ€œHello, my name is Girl McWifeโ€ than this.

THE AMATEUR (2025). It somehow helped the rating that I fell asleep last night halfway through and we finished tonight. The best scene by far was early on, when Rami Malek thinks Jon Bernthal is asking him to lunch, and he LIGHTS UP like George Costanza crushing on Elaineโ€™s mimbo boyfriend, Tony.

Disneyland in California rather than Disney World in Florida; Nantucket in Massachusetts rather than, whatever, the fucking Isle of Palms in South Carolina. I hope that egghead follows Vance for the rest of his miserable life, in every blue state he prefers over the red states that support him.

The win emboldened Thiel to come out from behind the curtain and actively fund and advocate for his techno-fascist worldview. All because Hogan fucked his best friend's wife and Gawker wrote about it.

Do you get President Trump if you don't have Peter Thiel funding Hulk Hogan's sex tape lawsuit that shut down Gawker? I say it's a straight line from one to the other.

I can't think of an upcoming movie release I want to see less than EDDINGTON, but I do need someone to upload a full plot description to Wikipedia.

Trying to get a response from anyone selling counter stools on Facebook Marketplace so I can finally have a flat surface to work on.
