Saw Hamnet over the weekend. Didn't cry. I'm built different.

Harden is 12th all time in assists?

More of an Ohio problem, we shouldn’t be on Eastern time, but it is so annoying telling kids to go to bed when it’s light out.

Him being a monster is the text. Makes the movie better IMO! Guys are bad!

I think you guys are the favorites in the East, fwiw

My 8-yr-old was off the walls and he's a Brown guy.

74 and sunny in Ohio this afternoon!

Hannibal only needed elephants.

Do my Oscar pool! You'd get 22 points for a Madigan win, 5.52 if you pick Taylor correctly. Big opportunity for you here.

One reason I’m uninterested in the Platner thing is that I just watched thousands of school moms and nerdy dudes and queer people show unbreakable resolve in standing up to armed federal agents in relentless, terrifying confrontations, and thus don’t worry that my dorky affect precludes toughness

Sheehy wasn't even touching him when the guy's arm snapped.

Tim Sheehy didn't do anything wrong, outside of helping cops when not appropriate (a fantasy shared by tons of people, even on the left). A protester that wouldn't leave had his arm snapped. Even if the protester was righteous (TBD with the Israel stuff), that's the price of admission.

Unironically

No doubt. Singals brain is cooked. Just a potent ingredient in the stew.

Willing to go out on a ridiculously dangerous limb and suggest trans and ally accounts making up stuff about Jesse Singal (and all the calls for him to kill himself) probably radicalized him and his fellow centrist travelers.

I have terminal online poisoning and spend all my social media time on BSky, and I legitimately have no idea what any of this is about. Last I heard conservatives were boycotting Target for being too inclusive?

Do you think Susanna Hoffs will play the hits from her old band, Ming Tea?

Fun fact: Jesse Singal was Jamelle Bouie's editor! I have an ANCIENT email where Singal is welcoming Bouie to the team. Obviously not determinative or anything, but, fun fact!

I literally wrote a blog called "Why I Hate DC," but this is a lowblow. There is plenty of non-govt culture! Discord! Go-go!

My HR did that to me, allowing an employee to violate bereavement policy after I denied the request. Very annoying! They’re supposed to be the hardasses!

It's seeing the price, not spending the price. Same for groceries, IMO.

I do an Oscar ballot every year which awards points based on odds from two weeks before the ceremonies. You want in?

You know what’s really dire is I don’t have a place to go to get breaking news. Everything is compromised.

Two of the three episodes so far have mentioned Cape Cod. Keep up the good work.

It's not unconstitutional for a felon to be president.

It's unconstitutional* to have president and veep from the same state.

*I believe you can do it but NY would not be allowed to participate in the EC thus forfeiting a lot of votes

"What Kind of Person Would Kidnap an 84-Year-Old Woman?"

Austin Pendelton in Gurading Tess.

I've seen 5 Best Picture nominees so far, and, I think...

1. OBAA
2. Sentimental Value
3. Bugonia
4. Train Dreams
5. Sinners

Not a dud in the bunch!

And if you want to gamble on this, my Oscar ballot is ready! Message me if you want to play. $10 entry fee and I tell you the favorites in advance!

I reserved that book at the library.
