Truly one of the most surprising moments of my life was 5 seconds ago when I found out that Rob Reiner’s NORTH isn’t about Iran Contra

@suzania how does this keep happening. what do you mean 'ontology' was popularized by palantir. what do you mean 'agamemnon' is a video game. what do you mean 'enjambment' is a dating app. what do you mean 'iambic pentameter' is now slang for having sex while using kratom.

@frynaomifry Unfortunately, a non-zero portion of the population does indeed like that we’re led by absolute criminals…

@handsome_pal This is one of my favorite weird national perceptions of Hollywood. Like when people get mad at celebrities for being anti-cop because all famous people live in gated communities

@samfox @cupcakeboner @bendreyfuss If your complaint is that the article should have included the perp in the death count and said three were liked, ok? I don't see how that changes things.

Republicans are like “the left is the political violence doers” And democrats are like “what about when that guy with a pro-life hit list gunned down a bunch of democrats in Minnesota?” And republicans are like “doesn’t count! he was crazy!” Ok but I mean they’re all crazy.

@nwbvt @cupcakeboner @bendreyfuss One of those two people was shot by the only people on the scene with guns: the police

@cupcakeboner @bendreyfuss This is not the best time to portray the UK as immune to political violence. nytimes.com/live/2025/10/0…

Hard to overstate how much Drew’s work has shaped the way I think and talk about movies over the past, I dunno, 25 years? Do yourself a favor and subscribe to one or both of his excellent newsletters. You will not regret it.

@DanWetzel This is what I get for turning off the fucking TV

If watching the Bruins blow a 3-0 lead to the Maple Leafs is your idea of a good Tuesday Night, boy you are in luck.

God this is so incredible. Fantastic investigative googling @rodger

Steve Albini's four-page proposal to produce Nirvana's In Utero: "If a record takes more than a week to make, somebody's fucking up."

I'm good with Dan Campbell. You shouldn't abandon your football philosophy when it gets scary. That's how you end up being Brandon Staley.

@Passichioti I don’t!!

Sam Fox arrested and spends the night in jail after 'drunken bust up' on flight from Heathrow to Munich via dailym.ai/ios absolute trash @samfox who behaves like this mol.im/a/12988573

Ok, this headline: "Prince Harry To Skip Final Season Of ‘The Crown’ Due To “Sensitive” Princess Diana Storyline" doesn't require this: "SPOILER ALERT: This news story features details from Season 6 of The Crown" deadline.com/2023/11/the-cr…

I have no idea what this means, but I still think it might be the only thing I’ve ever agreed with him on. I too would not let them be waiters at his grandson’s bar mitzvah.

Truly unbelievable wording here

The Jetsiest debut in Jets history.

After seven years (!!!), hundreds of Winners & Losers, and at least 100k words about The Bachelor franchise, today is my last day at The Ringer. I’ve got an exciting, stupid project I’ll tell you about Monday, but today I just want to say thanks to all my coworkers and readers.

@frynaomifry You’ve somehow made me feel ancient and youthful at the same time. Fantastic piece, terrifying world we live in etc etc.
