OMG now I really want to see a comedy in which Batman has to coach a women's soccer team. It'll be sort of like TED LASSO, but with Batman.

HBO's β€œRooster” is Almost an Endearing Comedy Despite strong performances, Bill Lawrence’s latest is too detached from reality for its own good.

Hello, I reviewed ROOSTER for @ebertvoices.bsky.social as part of women writers week, an opportunity that enabled me to ask the question: Did Steve Carell really have to fall on that young woman's boobs?

Honestly? I wish Buster Bluth was running our military. Still absurd but much less dangerous.

Donald Trump has a new skin condition, according to Entertainment Weekly

This EW headline makes it sound like Trump held a press conference to unveil his new rash.

The snow is very pretty. It also needs to cease immediately.

Four people and a dog were stabbed on the Beltway today, and so far I cannot find a single Washington Post story about this.

You might be right. He's so wonderful on it.

Emotional Harrison Ford is too much. Just too much.

I think all award shows should allow unbleeped cursing.

Maggie Gyllenhaal Never Got John Mulaney’s Self-Tape for The Bride! Now Louis Cancelmi is Young Cop.

All blessings to @bethysquires.bsky.social for writing about this. I refer to THE BRIDE! as the movie that almost cast John Mulaney as Young Cop, mainly because I have not seen it yet.

Every policy they make is about revenge or punishment against the left, or perceived left. Same with what they're doing with healthcare in Minneapolis.

I don't understand it either. Also not a billionaire.

Went to the Post's online sports section earlier. Saw an AP story about the Md. men's basketball game, which they lost, and nothing about the Md. women's game tonight, which they won. Also they are nationally ranked. Zero coverage.

The Post used to have staffers who covered both teams.

I don't know, I feel like all the Bad News Bears would have grown up, gotten nostalgic for the good 'ol days when kids could say racial slurs and drink beer, then gone fully MAGA.

Except for Amanda. No way she would put up with that shit.

OMG Will, I loved the Hoboken Chicken Emergency. But I loved Fat Men From Space even more.

Just sent a scary email, but did it really quickly, like I was ripping off a Band-Aid.

It is also hard to be brilliant when you're as fucking stupid as this guy is.

Also: KPop Demon Hunters is good? And it's certainly culturally significant.

It went on and off 10 times. Now it's on ... for now.

Maddening.

The power keeps going on and off like someone is flipping a light switch and I am losing my absolute and total mind.
