I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.
this sounds like none of my business
If you have any idea what I do, you know I can talk endlessly about ice hockey -- er, I mean about the depiction of suicide in popular entertainment. Here are my thoughts on the way suicide loss is handled in "Heated Rivalry," from @afspnational.bsky.social's Real Stories blog.

I hope Bud Cort gets to change into whatever flower he wants to be. RIP. What a fucking icon.
Oh, I don’t see that! Great minds.
That's interesting that he did that, because I was just thinking my favorite James Van Der Beek performance is from the Bret Easton Ellis cinematic universe, as Patrick Bateman's (aka American Psycho's) brother in "The Rules of Attraction."
Me, too, but was really let down. Strangely, not that much Chevy. High point definitely an extended Dudley Moore sequence I had no memory of.
For Super Bowl Sunday, I am watching the 1978 Chevy Chase / Goldie Hawn film “Foul Play,” which I believe is something that can happen in football.
I know the whole thing’s gonna be Charlie XCX, but the whole “Wuthering Heights” soundtrack should just be the Kate Bush song, over and over, à la “Call Me” in “American Gigalo.”
Is Binance pronounced like Beyonce? Because that’s how I’m doing it
Every piece of dumb cop fiction is about cops doing fascist things fascistly
Every piece of SMART cop fiction is a metaphor for writing, where the cop is a self-insert of the author and the crime is the society into which the fiction is released
FOMO -- fear of missing outfit
I don't know what led me to Peter Gabriel's blog, but:
"I was delighted that ‘I Have the Touch‘ was chosen for the soundtrack of Marty Supreme. The song is rarely asked out for a dance and I have always loved table tennis."
Does anyone wanna see a really good Getty image of Rita Moreno and Sam The Eagle having dinner in 1979?
I don’t know who needs to hear this but here goes:
In high school my art teacher told me I didn’t know how to draw because cartooning wasn’t real art.
I have wanted to be in The New Yorker Magazine since I was 19. I’m 53 and this happened yesterday:
Christmas night: "But Santa, you've hardly touched your Zardoz cookies."
Do you ever watch video reviews of products you already own, and just silently go, "Yeah, I got that."
Mamdani w/ the most savage long-form improv burn I’ve ever heard:
“I went to Magnet Theater for Improv Level One,” Mamdani said of that winter in 2017, when his eight-week course at the Chelsea theater ended in a student showcase. “I think I had dreams of going to the Upright Citizens Brigade.”
We are in peak French heist season.
Me, scoping out a new Trader Joe’s:
Hans Gruber voice:
“Now. I know. Where you keep. The yogurt. Covered. Pretzels.”
My first thought was, “$15 cocktails? Pretty par for the course, sadly.” (I live in NYC.) My second thought was, “Lethal Weapon TV SHOW?!” Showing in a bar in 2025? That is such a purposeful, unhinged choice. Is this bar the equivalent of a joyful hate watch? I kind of want to go.
What’s the long German expression for when you go to see a band, expecting they’re the headliner (or headliner adjacent), and it turns out they went on first and you completely missed them?
lol she got his ass and he knows it
Zohran winning is THRILLING. Bring back being able to afford NYC as a working class person. Bring back being able to be an artist without a trustfund. We lost our city to billionaires + thats not NYC. NYC is poor people, queer people, immigrants, its underdogs + weirdos + that's what makes it great.
I cannot tell you how horror nerdboy pleased with myself I am to have accurately mused, "Blood and Black Lace?" in response to these images.
Also, I happen to really like the Weakened Friends cover.

That Natalie Imbruglia song, but it's "Tron."
