Got my car inspected well in advance of the last day of the month, which is progress for me. Took me years and years to realize that waiting until the 28th was a bad idea.

And look, we all get things wrong from time to time. I certainly have. But this particular level of commitment to being so consistently and confidently wrong - and then being rewarded over and over again with prestige media jobs - is something truly stunning. This is a GOAT-level run right here.

The impact of Frederick Wiseman on nonfiction filmmaking was seismic beyond measure and beyond compare. Like how do you even begin to consider his influence on documentary technique or his decades of insight into how institutions (and artistic spaces) operate? What a treasure. R.I.P.

I really wish NBC would stop hyping American Olympians so much before they compete.
It just leads to to overly high expectations and too much pressure.
