I would think they have a case but I am extremely, very much not a lawyer.

Are people betting on how long it will take for one of the Monday Night Football commentators to make a "Wood"/Travis Kelce joke? They are, right?

Love that Tylenol has to run commercials during NFL football on Fox because of misinformation that was spread on Fox News. Synergy!

I feel like someone set a mandate that K-POP DEMON HUNTERS had to be mentioned in an SNL sketch this week.

I Didn’t Need to Know All of That About Travis Kelce On Taylor Swift’s β€œWood.”

"It commits the cardinal sin of heterosexuality: Don’t ever tell a man he’s stacked and his podcast is good. This line may singlehandedly fast-track the downfall of civilization."

This is just rock solid (sorry!) advice from @rachelhandler.bsky.social.

It doesn't come out until Oct. 17, but they've dropped three of the tracks and they're all good.

I realize they have only released like three songs. But I stand by this statement.

When you realize the new LAST DINNER PARTY album is way better than ... that other new album.

Well that sucks but you should still watch the whole thing. It's wonderful.

The dumbest thing I did today (so far) was allow myself to wake up from a dream in which I was dating Ryan Gosling. Stupid decision on my part.

I have never served in the military though I have relatives who did, including my late dad. I can’t speak on their behalf but I would feel so embarrassed and distraught by today’s events. I don’t think Hegseth and Trump speak for all of them because how could they? They’re not one of them.

Tonight on a NY1 interview, Andrew Cuomo described Zohran Mamdani as "an existential threat" to New Yorkers and the Democratic Party. I can't say strongly enough that this is despicable, dangerous, irresponsible language. I've never held Cuomo in high esteem; let this election be his banishment.

Chad Powers Almost Made Me Lose My Mind There’s a glimmer of something real hiding within Disney’s craven Ted Lasso rip-off, but you have to squint to see it.

I'll go farther than my friend @nwquah.bsky.social and say that CHAD POWERS actually did make me lose my mind. Was it all the George Soros jokes, the repeated use of the r-word for lols, or the fact that Chad is, by his own admission, a dick who drives a cybertruck?

Yeah, they mention student loan forgiveness in the commercials, too. I think it's cool how the administration is causing so many people to lose their jobs, then trying to bribe them into becoming government-sanctioned domestic terrorists.

Certainly dudes who watch football, which makes sense, sadly. They probably get complimentary ad space on any Fox network at this point.
