You know when friends in a relationship split up and both host get togethers on the same day, and you go to one and see some friends who sided with that person, then a small group of you shuttle to the other’s and see those friends, and it’s more work and less enjoyment? Anyway I’m also on Mastodon.

If you obey the administration’s demands to use its NewSpeak vocabulary, why would I ever trust you to describe its actions objectively?

Behold, a token remnant from an old, antiquated British institution. Often ridiculed for it's apparent lack of ability to relate to modern life and often accused of corruption.

I’m still on the floor

One of my favorite things is getting on the floor to play with babies or puppies then after they’ve left the room it takes me an hour to realize I'm still on the floor

Correcting strangers’ grammar uninvited is an act of hostility, so either jubilantly own that or don’t do it.

Just spent five and a half hours at the NYFF watching Rebecca Miller's Mr. Scorsese, a brilliant, definitive, revelatory portrait of the filmmaker that earned a roaring and well-deserved standing ovation. I truly didn't want it to end.* On Apple 10/17.

*Full disclosure: I am in it for 12 seconds.

City Confidential narrated by Paul Winfield. This scandalous story had everything. Money. Snow. More snow. It was also parodied on SNL in 1976 and I think it was the first time they issued an apology.

If you’re a comedian I know who’s doing the RIYADH comedy festival, it’s not too late to drop out. The money you make will poison you. You have fucked up & you can correct the big bad mistake you’re making. Also the ppl I know who are doing it are SO WILDLY RICH already. Christ.

I guess I knew on some level that the lyric in “Beast of Burden” wasn’t “So let’s go home, then go to Perkins” but I’ve always preferred it.
