the presidential candidate who is more personally invested in fictional media has won every election since 1964 except biden-trump and HW-dukakis. (note: al gore beats bush but al gore also beat bush)
I met Barack Obama in 2007 at a small event when his run for president was just starting. He asked me what I was working on. I said, a book about the 5 1967 Best Picture nominees. He said, quickly, "So...Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, In the Heat of the Night..." >

He whiffed on Doctor Dolittle, as which of us doesn't? Anyway, you can all have your annual sulk about how he doesn't do those lists himself. (He does those lists himself.)

My favorite social app is still MyChart. Love messaging with my care team and seeing raw test results before they’ve been explained to me.

I knew two brothers called Trevor and Robert and one time a girl we knew said "that's mad because Trevor is Robert backwards" and we said "no, it's Rovert backwards!" and she said "close enough" and we said "no" and she said "you'll regret not humouring me"

Hello? I'm calling from room 237? There's a hot naked woman in the bathroom who gets old when you kiss her? Could you send someone?

It is very odd to me that in Hamnet they use the to be or not to be speech (which is about suicide, not grief) and
in the ghost/Hamlet scene skip this far more relevant moment:

I'm in the flight logs but only because I needed to have all my teeth pulled without anaesthesia in Epstein's famous Hall of Old Men's Heads
🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received never-before-seen photos and videos of Jeffrey Epstein's private island that are a harrowing look behind Epstein’s closed doors.

See for yourself. We won’t stop fighting until we end this cover-up and deliver justice for the survivors.

Got rid of Spotify this year. Glad as I am to not support them, I was bummed I wouldn’t get my 2025 Wrapped.

All that’s changed. I just received this AMAZING letter from my personal music curator Tunes Michaels. He’s been incredible at making CD playlists that cater to my tastes. Highly recommend

Sometimes you’re just reading an email and that email sounds so good, like the words are doing that sentence thing, plus there’s so much wit and stuff, and before you know it, you can’t help but think “Hey, I’m Stephen King, guess I’m the guy who wrote that great email I just read!”

Then you post.

look i get it but two section 'critic's notebook' online only feature is not a frickin "sleek profile"
"I'm canceled," he says in the sleek profile they gave to him in the New Yorker while his latest special & his new novel is coming out. A lot of people wish they were that canceled.
Louis CK is not in a limbo of cancellation. He's straight up not cancelled & his "cancellation" became a profitable bit for him.

Faculty voted against this move almost unanimously. If we ever get free of this mess I hope it's clear that faculty and not administrators need to be in charge of the academy
