Terrified he died but delighted that it’s just him talking about cocaine

Johnny Cash didn't switch costumes with Elton John on SNL just to have some asshat call him "deeply uncool." I hate to even share this but the ratio is nice.

I didn't realize he was part of The High Strung!

I know it's not his most well-received, but I'm partial to Daphne, myself.

I am so sorry πŸ’” I had the same experience with my big guy in February; his health went down so fast after he was diagnosed that we had to make the hard choice fairly quickly. Sending you love.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

I was about to say, I worked in a public library and dealt with people *far* more aggressive and unpredictable than the guy in the white tee. Somehow we all managed to handle it without choking anyone.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score.

I was going to go Saving Silverman or As Above, So Below, but those are cult classics now, and I don't think I've heard anyone so much as mention this movie.

There's a whole 20-ish minute section in the Martin Short/Steve Martin tour show that's him playing banjo with a bluegrass band.

(scrolling through job postings for 20 minutes) Maybe this doesn't matter. Maybe nothing matters at all. Maybe the industrial revolution was a mistake

I do feel lucky to live in a state (WA) that makes it pretty easy. I do still feel a little bit of a rush though, just in case.

Dismayed by the "I loathe Gl**ner but his arrest should scare us all" takes. The bar for arrest over a social media post *should be extremely high*, but a guy who's harassed trans people 19 hours a day for 8 years, telling his 600k fans to attack any trans women they see, clears that barΒ vΒ easily?

This isn't exactly the same, but The New Adventures of Old Christine made a lot of jokes about Julia Louis-Dreyfuss being an old fat hag

no opinion on woke cracker barrel, but like 25 years ago i was eating there with my grandpa and he ordered a fried shrimp platter. at one point i looked at his plate and it was empty, and i asked if he was eating the tails. "what the hell do you care," he said
