Louis CK appeared on Bill Maher's show on Friday night, giving his first television interview in eight years. When he was introduced, the audience gave him a standing ovation. They stood for Louis CK. Sometimes, I understand this culture's desire... Read more...

My review of the movie of the year (and even that might be an understatement) Paul Thomas Anderson's ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER dropped at @pajiba.com today. To say I liked it would be a bit of an understatement #onebattleafteranother

Here's how I know a recession is looming: Someone came in the dead of the night and stole not one, not two, but EVERY SINGLE APPLE from our apple tree. Picked it bare. I don't know if we should call the Apple Cops or just quietly respect the hustle.

It's a good thing that Dave Portnoy has never said anything a ton of people found rude, dumb, or offensive in real time or mocked the memory of a dead man.

I guess Dave is woke now.

Cancel your Disney+/ESPN subscriptions tonight. Even if you ultimately restart them because your favorite NFL team is on MNF or because your kid can't live without Encanto. Cancel it anyway because it's the only thing they'll listen to, and you may just find that you didn't need it anyway.

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score.

I know I should feel immense shame. It's not cool bad. Or even memorable. Even the masses disliked it! It's rotten as hell and deserves it and I still can't help myself.

And what about every single politician, celebrity, and late-night host that Greg Gutfeld "jokes" about every night? Are they "targets," too? Or does it only count if it's a cartoon?

What we hope is that history looks back on this dark era as an aberration. What we fear is that we are so warped by this era that history ultimately sees the era of progress that came before it as the aberration.
