Ross Douthat looks *exactly* like I thought he would based solely on his writing.

Proud of myself for shaving 15 minutes from my last year’s Cowtown half marathon time.

Ugh-Survivor 50 has two of my least favorite players ever. I don’t understand why anyone likes Coach. Rizo is just as bad.

Next season on THE PITT Doctor Robby will explain the benefits of raw milk and why vaccines can lead to demonic possession.

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Unlike Ari Melber, I understand that there is nothing less cool than a white guy quoting hip hop lyrics.

Finally watched Room 237, which is a fascinating, well-made film about the dangers of or practice of over-interpretation.

Weird coincidence of the day - spent much of my workday sorting official press photos of the royal family.

Thinking of taking my 14 year old and 11 year old kids to go see Nirvanna the Movie…with me - if only so they could see where their parents romped in the early 2000s.
Any thoughts about whether this is terrible parenting or phenomenal parenting?
(Please feel free to judge me, I’m asking for it!)

Absolutely!! That’s the sense I’m getting from my 60s tv rewatch. I’m sure there’s an anthology series to tv acting pipeline in there somewhere as well-

Oh fantastic! It’s been a while since I watched the original series. Despite the parodying of his work, he’s really doing some great acting - at least in some episodes!

Real question- has anyone ever done a deep dive on William Shatner’s acting on Star Trek: The Original Series?
Now that I’m doing a rewatch I’m realizing how his and the other cast’s performances are doing so much of the heavy lifting in the series.
