Twitter user Cohen is a ghost @skullmandible: most cutting thing you can say is "who's this clown?" because it implies they're a) a clown & b) not even one of the better-known clowns Posted 12/12/13 5:50 PM

Positive emotions (love, joy, hope)
Negative emotions (loss, sorrow)

IN THAT ORDER

This is reminiscent of Jeff Bezos's 12-step guide for making 'iconic' TV shows that he told Amazon Studios execs to follow. www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-h...

Literally one of the funniest parts of the (already very funny) movie, and it led to me talking to my husband afterwards about how I always admire any comedy writer/director/performer's commitment to a "bit": going full-on in and seeing it through. Love it.

Whenever I see any framing that is like “This used to be America, what happened?” I think about how I was in my thirties before I learned George Washington’s “wooden teeth” were actually dentures made of gold, ivory, and teeth forcibly pried from the mouths of his slaves. That’s the FIRST GUY.

Seeing Hugh Jackman in Oklahoma! in London, 1998. I remember thinking he was so charismatic, handsome and talented that it was like watching a Hollywood movie star. Which is exactly what he (rightfully) became.

You can still dine at Restaurant Fournaise, on the banks of the Seine, the setting for Renoir’s Luncheon of the Boating Party 140 years ago. Incidentally, that’s Aline, Renoir’s future wife, at lower L, & fellow artist Gustave Caillebotte at lower R www.artinsociety.com/floating-ple...

Underrated comedy queen 🙌

Somewhere, an old Hollywood exec is looking at this with a hungry leer, because he remembers the day when starlets didn't have things like "agency" and "independent thought."

141. THE NAKED GUN (1988)

How I loved her, but she had her music...She'd hang out with the Chicago Male Chorus and Symphony. I don't recall her playing an instrument...Yet she was on the road 300 days of the year...I bought her a harp for Christmas. She asked me what it was.

It's all third spaces, baby. Used to go bowling, used to cover Skynyrd in the garage, used to have a car club. Now we've got Theo Von on in the F-350 on the way home from your 11-hour workday.

i don’t know if rowlf singing “what a wonderful world” to a sleeping puppy is soothing or lie-on-the-floor-and-sob heartbreaking. maybe it’s both. i think I needed both.

Why Kate Upton is accusing Guess co-founder Paul Marciano of sexual harassment now Kate Upton explained on “Good Morning America” today why she has come forward years after alleged incidents of harassment she said she faced from Paul Marciano.

My first thought was “that’s not AI, that’s Kate Upton, she’s a Guess model. But wait she actually sued Guess co-founder Paul Marciano back in 2018 for sexual assault!

Yet another reason why he was a legend!

A black and white photo of Tom Lehrer playing the piano

Like many people, I discovered Tom Lehrer in my late teens. Also like many people, I then spent the ensuing years making cassette copies of his albums for others, quoting his songs, and raving about him to anyone who’d listen. RIP Mr Lehrer. Thank you for the music (and most of all: the lyrics).

At an airport I once saw a bunch of transcendentalists boarding a flight they’d chartered. At least I assumed they were transcendentalists because they were on a hire plane thank you please enjoy the weekend ahead.
