“Set me on a silver sun, for I know that I'm free; Show me that I'm everywhere, and get me home for tea” My cousin Jeremy, 44, passed away this month just two years after being diagnosed with ALS. People as pure as he was don’t deserve this. als.org/

lol. Banger.

There’s this great moment in the fourth installment of the Louis C.K./Shane Gillis podcast series on the presidents where Louis has been talking at length about all these memories he has of various presidents and then they get to Clinton and Shane, who is much younger, says, “OK, this is about where I start to become conscious of things” and Louie just keeps repeating, “man, that’s so crazy to me.” For Louis, Clinton is a sea change, a wild break from everything that had happened politically in the 1980s. But for Shane, it’s basically the start of the universe. Everything begins at that moment. Everything before is from a history book. I think this is a big part of why so many intergenerational discussions about politics go awry. It’s like people are turning on the movie at different points.

I booked a A-grade PPV (9.79) on Build Your Own PPV. Think you can book better? maineventer.com/c/Aqz0sQP0Af…

Ok I hate the “stolen election” stuff from the president BUT why keep asking him? It’s not exactly news that he thinks it’s stolen. The question seems performative, merely to elicit the reaction he delivered

Give me a break. I worked at Viacom/CBS (now Paramount) for over a decade. Of course, it was 90% Democrats. Everyone knows this. Everyone. And newsrooms in particular vote Democrat to a higher degree than Berkeley, California. And you know what? Fine. I have lots of friends with whom I disagree from my time there. It was a great place, actually. To act as if this claim about bias is controversial, let alone inaccurate, shows that he’s either a liar, an imbecile, or so deeply incurious and tunnel-visioned that you don’t belong anywhere near any job involving information discernment. But he’s got that familiar anchor voice, so we’re supposed to act like he’s not being a complete clown. Give me a break. You people are a mess.

Tobacco giant Philip Morris acquired General Foods in 1985, when Lunchables was in development. The cigarette maker relied on flavor technology and market research from tobacco to maximize the snack kit’s appeal to children. kqed.org/news/12086137/heres…

Toy Story 2 had a beautiful short scene that explained Jessie's backstory without a single word. This is the most unnecessary shit ever.

They show this speech on a loop in the museum at Normandy. It’s that good.

Seinfeld nails it re the “privilege” narrative: “We’re embarrassed about things we should be proud of, and proud of things we should be embarrassed about…”

“You HAVE to wear an AIDS ribbon.” “I have to?” “Yes!” “See, that’s why I don’t want to.”

It really is this simple

I gave the @ringerwrestling listeners an assignment to make a wrestling version of “82-0” to build a perfect wrestling card and maineventer.com was made in record time lol

Please, no one ask her whether people born overseas can become American. I don’t wanna know.

The best part of writing Agent Cody Banks was getting Keith David to tell us behind the scenes stories from making The Thing, one of which included the line "And then John Carpenter walked in...MAD AS A MOTHERFUCKER."

"E. Jean Carroll and Christine Blasey Ford were credible and upstanding examples of female empowerment, but this perfectly lucid woman who has politics I disagree with is obviously a liar."

No one is doing it like Bill. Shame he didn’t ask Spielberg this.

Katie Stewart has hit them even further, but, yeah, that's one pure swing of a bat.
