I’ve started sayin β€œHe’s wearing a wire!” when I see these glasses.

One man overheard and pulled them off. 😭😭😭

Because people are fucking idiots, Paul.
They're just... incredibly stupid.

So, uh… people actually liked Hamnet? That’s a thing people did in 2025, liking Hamnet The Movie? Like, watching it and going β€œYes, this is good”?

Anne Murray bounced me on her knee at a party.

The movie is already completely ahistorical, but this feels amateurish.

They just mispronounced β€œprimer” in Hamnet and now I’m mad.

Agreed, especially with Miracle Mile.

You could spoil the twist and it would in no way make it less bonkers.

I saw a random AI commercial touting its ability to turn employees into coders instantly. Imagine trying to run an IT department when half of the employees are vibe coding stuff on the fly. How do you maintain or fix that kind of mess? When shadow IT *is* the IT?

Where all the current slate of grifters eventually end up: ripping off kids.

AI boosters - actual adults with jobs - must be the most embarrassing people in the world. Their skulls are stuffed with wadded-up paper and wet gravel.

YouTube hasn’t shown me any Alysa Liu content today and I’m personally offended.

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

1. This is despicably evil.
2. This needs to be fought at every level. There is no world in which this cannot be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
3. Those behind this effort need to be exposed and never know a moments peace.

bouie said something glib -- & frankly divorced from the reality of 99% of journalists currently working -- because he occupies a relatively privileged position of nyt columnist. that is true. it is also true that a lot of you are raging racists looking for a socially acceptable reason to be racist.

I watched a very misleading nunsploitation movie tonight. Look, if you’re going to name a character Alucarda she’d better be a vampire.

Some of the #yqr councillors behave as if they’re creating viral content instead of governing.

The scene where he realizes that he can’t master pottery still runs through my head some forty years later.
