I think the real story of Sony’s recent studio struggles after more than a decade of unbridled success will be how Jim Ryan’s decision to focus the division on Live service-then retiring before it would be his problem anymore-ultimately killed all morale in the company

Ball’s back in your court Mr. Klein

Least we forget Jeb

For what it’s worth my local CBS affiliate (Sinclair operated) can’t keep a stable signal to my antenna to save its life.

Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias have been in an “embarrassing loser shit” contest since their time at Vox but Klein keeps putting up numbers Yglesias will have a hard time topping.

At least eggman can brag about the Biden White House reading his newsletter to help decide which war crimes to commit

YouTube video by Phil Edwards Why every 90s celebrity got a milk mustache

The one good Vox expat who’s not funded by Bill Gates or the CIA already covered why this is futile youtu.be/8RbSgn96qmQ?...

It’s official

The Ghorman conference in Season 2 episode 1 was totally original and based off nothing ever set in history. Tony Gilroy’s brain just did that

This is how the budget brands operate it’s wild to learn they’ve pivoted to chasing the worst of the industry.

There’s more money in selling rentals at the counter so all you’re booking online is a rate if they have cars left by the time you arrive

Clint Eastwood/Kurt Russel kinda textbook case that people simply do not care about your politics as long as the output eats

The difference between Kelsey Grammar and Zachary Levi is people don’t find Grammar innately repulsive when he’s on a poster

Gen Z Jews definitely have our fair share of “Zionists who don’t get the point of holocaust education.” However, between Weiss and that Obama speech writer lady Gen X is putting up numbers we’ll never top.

Rob Schneider Mark Twain Prize imminent

I just got back from visiting my ailing grandmother and I cannot stress enough how much trouble she would be in if not for my aunt taking care of her. I wish these folks the best of luck in their commitment to being bitter and small

We always watch When Harry Met Sally around New Years but I guess we’ll have to do a marathon of Reiner’s ‘84-‘92 run instead. What a loss

I saw BJ Novak talking about why Reiner is his favorite director and it boils down to: every single movie in that run is the definitive movie of its genre. Completely rethought of how we think about those 7 types of stories in 8 years.

“Sports twitter never migrated over” is something I’ve been told dead straight

Sam Altman is more like Ed Norton’s character in Glass Onion than Elon is and it’s not even close

I have an extensive Sonos system and Apple is one of two services (Amazon is the other) capable of serving both lossless and Atmos tracks to my speakers directly.

Bill Burr Defends Performing at Controversial Riyadh Comedy Festival: “They’re Just Like Us” The actor-comedian details his experience at the event: "Definitely one of the top three experiences I've ever had ... I think it's going to lead to a lot of positive things."
