My daughter is really bummed about the play being over and after seeing it 4 times in a row I kind of feel sad too. I thought I’d get sick of it but now I’m really sad I’ll never get to see it again. Live theater is fascinating in that way.

Maybe go talk to Mike Nelson first then circle back to the rest of us

I went to my daughters school musical last night and after she said β€œthe man who cackles real loud at every single joke was there tonight. He’s been coming to every show for years. We all call him cackle man.” And I’m pretty sure they’re talking about me.

Besides the show being wildly funny, clever, and incredibly well put together, it also appears that the people making Strip Law are also absolutely COOL AS HELL.

I watched Malcolm X last night with my kids and I still can’t believe it wasn’t even nominated for best picture. Spike Lee really did have a rough go in Hollywood. His prime was so much better than any of the darling auteurs that followed.

lol if this loser wrote about sports just once he would experience levels of online bullying that would utterly destroy him. He thinks trans activists are mean? Write something critical about the Golden State Warriors and then check your DMs.

Unfortunately I don’t think they can win. The federal courts are useless now. The best they can hope for is a weak compromise like age limits maybe some tax share I bet

Years later I got to meet him again when I was at the 2008 DNC. I was there with my now wife who was a union leader in Denver and there as an honored guest, and I got to tell him both of these stories. He was tickled about Mrs Lacey and was glad to hear we kept the fight going at UT. That felt good.

I met him in college when he came to campus to speak at a protest I helped organize. We were protesting against attacks on affirmative action polices, and his rally was a major event on a campus that hadn’t seen a lot of protest in the previous years, and it sparked a ton of enthusiasm.

The first vote I ever cast was for Jesse Jackson. It was in my second grade class mock election, and Jesse won in a rout. He was aided by the fact that our teacher, Mrs Lacey, wore a Jackson pin nearly every day. I was very confused and upset when he didn’t become president that year.

Here's What Everyone's Betting on for the Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime Show What will be the first song? Will Karol G join Bad Bunny? Will he wear a dress? The prop bet options are endless

We owe the modern Super Bowl halftime spectacle to the FOX show In Living Color, and we owe the hundreds of crazy things you can bet on during halftime to Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson. I wrote about halftime for Rolling Stone this week:

New podcast episode is up! I talk to the writer Peter Richmond about the rise and fall of Jimmy the Greek. We also talk quite a bit about writing. Come for the gambling/sports/bizarre race science, stay for the navel gazing craft discussion! open.spotify.com/episode/4N8c...
