Seriously, why is every zoomer I see wearing Ice Cube shirts now?

I find most of these children’s celebrity biographies perplexing but I really want to know who’s buying their kid a Golden Book about Mel Brooks.

Like most children they saw a man they liked on TV once and desperately need to see him
on TV again, by any means necessary.

As someone who’s spent 95 percent of the last 4.5 years watching at least one young child, I’ve found your “parenting style” is based entirely on the situation, your mood and how much screaming you’re willing to put up with in the moment.

“Fuck Around and Find Out” parenting is actually “Fuck It, Whatever, I Give Up” parenting but that doesn’t make the parent sound as cool.

Not the most ideal juxtaposition of stories, NYT.

I swear I’m not retconning my own history when I say it wasn’t Hulk Hogan who made me a lifelong wrestling fan in the ‘80s: it was a random Koko B. Ware squash I came across on TV, and at my first house show I insisted on a Rockers shirt.

Anyway, great performer, horrible person. RIP?

Are the people on Letterboxd who claim to have watched 900+ movies in the first 7 months of the year shut-ins or liars?

Dame and Yang in 2026:

I’m hearing a segment of the city is upset about the WNBA resurrecting the name “the Portland Fire” for the new franchise because of climate change and I’m sorry but that is the most Portland thing I’ve ever heard lol.

It’s really funny they gave two contestants the “Poochie died on the way back to his home planet” treatment for being racist and no one on the show is allowed to talk about it. #LoveIsland

Great bit in the wedding episode of “The Bear” with the table that gradually grows to the size of a Coachella tent.

Now for a real COME HOME KING @llamsoyd.bsky.social

I interviewed the creator of this show once and she insisted I talk to her as if Tiny Chef were real.

Triggered?

Four seasons into this show about restaurants and it starts with five minutes of Carmy explaining why restaurants are important.

I’m three minutes into the new season of “The Bear” and I can already tell I’m done with this show.

Gonna find out about Joe Cronin’s ketamine addiction in the next few days.

The wisdom to use a James Gandolfini type to model the Trail Blazers plush embroidered robe will eventually lead us to a championship. Do not lose faith.

What’s with all the zoomers wearing Ice Cube shirts now?

WELCOME HOME KING

TJ McConnell, or as I call him

Have barely watched any basketball this season and literally the minute I walked into my in-laws’ house for Game 7 Hali popped his calf.

My favorite hate-watch served to me by the IG algorithm is the piano-pop artist who listened to 1,000 albums in a year and at the end discovered her favorites are “Abbey Road” and “Rumors.”

Pretty funny to have Megan Thee Stallion show up on #LoveIsland then expect the cast to go back to feigning excitement about, like, some woman from “Summer House.”

All I remember from my head-trailer is Robert De Niro going “The Shit…tarts?”
