RIP D'Angelo. One of the best live performances I ever witnessed (some of the phrasing up top might be unfortunate, also my concluding prediction sadly never came true): www.wweek.com/portland/blo...

You know Bron’s old because he and I are getting sidelined by the same injuries.
Lakers star LeBron James is sidelined for at least 3 to 4 weeks due to sciatica on his right side. He is out for the start of the 2025-26 NBA season.

Everything to say about OBAA has been said but I do like that the “Christmas Adventurers” are in the Proud Boys tradition of white supremacist groups having the most dork-ass names imaginable.

If Trump wanted to stop crime in Portland he should’ve just sent troops to Trio Club, that’s where 90 percent of it happens.

I rewatched “Blair Witch Project” for the first time in forever last night and the image that’s long stood out most to me is during the “children in the woods” scene when a bunch of little kid hands press on the tent… which apparently doesn’t actually happen? Did I Mandela Effect myself?

Can’t believe Kaleb Horton died. I only knew him from Twitter but we interacted a few times and he’s one of the few people who made social media seem worth it. Tremendous writer, what a loss.

I just checked, like, yesterday to see if Robert Redford was still alive because I honestly couldn't remember.
Anyway, I watched "The Hot Rock" recently, now that's a fucking cool movie.

You of course have to denounce political violence, but you do not, in fact, have to hand it to him.
Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death.
But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

Does anyone who’s not super online and/or a big politico even know who Charlie Kirk is? My mom’s gonna ask why the flags are at half-mast and I’ll have to say, “Y’know, big head? Small face? Racist?”

Beyond the obvious grossness of Woody Allen doing Bill Maher’s podcast it’s always funny when Maher interacts with anyone in the arts because he’s so dumb and incurious about movies and music. I saw a clip of him dismissing Akira Kurosawa as a pretentious wonk cinephiles only pretend to like.

If Trump does die it won’t be confirmed for months. You know they’re gonna trot the worst looking impersonator you’ve ever seen to wave from 100 feet away and just cancelling every press conference.

I have to say, I do find it hilarious when Trump refers to America as “the HOTTEST country in the World” as if it’s a Sabrina Carpenter single or an underage contestant at one of his beauty pageants.

I find most of these children’s celebrity biographies perplexing but I really want to know who’s buying their kid a Golden Book about Mel Brooks.

“Fuck Around and Find Out” parenting is actually “Fuck It, Whatever, I Give Up” parenting but that doesn’t make the parent sound as cool.
A shift is under way that will be welcome news to people who are tired of tiptoeing around their children’s feelings. Inside the FAFO parenting movement.
Goodbye Gentle Parenting, Hello ‘F—Around and Find Out’
Parents are ditching the softer approach to child-rearing that has dominated the culture and taking a harder line; ‘out-feral their feral’

I swear I’m not retconning my own history when I say it wasn’t Hulk Hogan who made me a lifelong wrestling fan in the ‘80s: it was a random Koko B. Ware squash I came across on TV, and at my first house show I insisted on a Rockers shirt.
Anyway, great performer, horrible person. RIP?

Are the people on Letterboxd who claim to have watched 900+ movies in the first 7 months of the year shut-ins or liars?

I’m hearing a segment of the city is upset about the WNBA resurrecting the name “the Portland Fire” for the new franchise because of climate change and I’m sorry but that is the most Portland thing I’ve ever heard lol.
