Is he going to play?!

I’m in Richmond and if it’s as cold at the beach as it is here that’s a massive nope from me

You’re welcome! And thank you! You’ve been entertaining me for almost 30 years

Falsely labeling non-violent people as "fascist" or "Nazi" should be treated as incitement to murder

The free speech absolutist has logged on

Yo @heathercampbell.bsky.social found your new best friend

Me, nodding sagely:

Folks, it doesn’t get said enough but @pftompkins.bsky.social is an absolute treasure. I’ve seen Varietopia twice and it’s a goddamn delight. In terrible times he is hilarious and kind and I adore him.

@socialistdogmom.bsky.social when I read that excerpt I was like:

It was four years later. Another presidential campaign. Another book project. Another candidate whom she had profiled. Another note —a poem, according to Olivia-though this time from the candidate to her. "Yr open mouth awaiting my harvest," Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services, had written to my then-fiance. "Drink from me Love." He continued, "I mean to squeeze your cheeks to force open your mouth. I'll hold your nose as you look up at me to encourage you to swallow. 'Dont spill a drop'. I am a river You are my canyon. I mean to flow through you. I mean to subdue and tame you. My Love." I can't say there weren't any signs. I did find it odd that Olivia was simultaneously reading Robert Greene's The Art of Seduction and Maureen Callahan's Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed. But the poem—let's call it "American Canyon" —and many others, too explicit to print, changed everything. (Thanks to Bobby, I am now aware of something called felching.)

“one Israeli” of course there is Candace

The Bears-Eagles alliance is finally complete Bears: Beat the Cowboys, Commanders, & Giants Eagles: Beat the Packers, Vikings, & Lions

Yo @miawong.bsky.social

Oh I remember. The aughts were somehow worse. One of my strongest beliefs is that we need to bully Perez Hilton as retroactive punishment for what he got away with

Just want to try to manifest this from @coolzonemedia.bsky.social: “weird little guys at the movies” @socialistdogmom.bsky.social and @vincemancini.bsky.social watch a weird movie like Batman Returns or Cats and break it down

Listen, I rarely resort to memes to accurately describe how I’m feeling but that NYT article?

“A time before Times Square became Disneyfied and a man could use his position of power to extort sexual favors from a subordinate without fear of the slightest consequences.”

Operation Blowing Bubba

But that transformation includes the many badass ghetto Jews of Boardwalk Empire. The essay also includes my writing about my deep contempt for Woody Allen! (3/3)

2. I thought of this related to your latest Substack on Death By Lightning and the cast connection to Boardwalk Empire but I’ve been working on an essay about Adam Sandler’s underrated role in transforming Jewish masculinity in pop culture. I might bite the bullet and start a Substack (2/3)

@vincemancini.bsky.social two things:
1. I binged All Her Fault and it reminded me of your review of Task. The same way that Task was the prestige version of a genre show AHF was the prestige version of… whatever the hell Ryan Murphy does 90% of the time (pose and season 1 of ACS excluded) (1/3)

As an I and now I want to know as well

I don’t know enough about coaching to know if a new DC would be able to get more out of position coaches.

Have to hope Wink gets hired by a dumb NFL team. Who do you think would be a good candidate to replace him?

This season brought to you by the sound of me breathing through my teeth and muttering “they’ll be way better next year”

Good lord, what won’t people do to get away from JD Vance?

Jordan Marshall is a beast

We are destined for this being summarized as “definitely a game”

You and my dad would be best friends. He loves both making chili and a good run to the dump in Richmond

Just heard the news about Dasha Nekrasova getting fired. Couldn’t have happened to a more compassionate, talented star. I have complete confidence that Dasha will transcend this setback—you simply can’t keep down someone with her natural charisma, unyielding curiousity, and insane work ethic.

I think it’s less this specific thing and more the specific moment. Epstein + economy going badly. A lot of these folks trying to get ahead of the memory-holing of Trump
