Bob Odenkirk presenting Rhea Seehorn with the Saturn Award for Best Actress in a TV Series just feels right. Jimmy and Kim forever.

When Michael Jackson tried to film They Don’t Care About Us (1996) in Brazil, the government denied permission over concerns about the country’s image. Hearing this, a local mafia figure who was a huge fan stepped in and personally provided protection during the shoot.

Brad Pitt spent years buying up every neighbouring property around his Los Feliz estate. When he acquired the home of an elderly widower named John, already in his 90s, he could have asked him to leave. Instead, he told him he could stay for free for the rest of his life. John ended up living to 105. The story only came out because Pitt’s former neighbour, Cassandra Peterson, mentioned it in passing to People magazine. No announcement, no headlines. Just a good thing done quietly.

Edward Norton gained 30lbs of muscle for American History X (1998) by eating 7 meals a day. His transformation was so extreme that Arnold Schwarzenegger personally asked him how he did it. Norton wanted to look physically imposing to fit the role.

The saddest part about BBQ is it used to be poor people food. Used cheap cuts and slow smoked them till tender. Today it is more expensive than a typical steakhouse, charging $36/lb for brisket. Worst thing to happen to BBQ ever is it became popular. Now get off my lawn

The Cowboys are interested in Dolphins All Pro LB, Jordyn Brooks & Texans Pro-Bowl LB, Azeez Al-Shaair -H/T @NickHarrisFWST for the report Some quick thoughts on both, starting with the All Pro •Jordyn Brooks signed a 3 yr $26M contract with the Dolphins back in 2024. 🚨If MIA trades Brooks before the draft (pre June-1) they save $2M 2026 cap space & eat $8M in dead cap It’s now a “contract year” & for a team like MIA it makes perfect sense to acquire pick 92 from the Cowboys NOW & potentially next years 2nd round pick as opposed to letting him walk in free agency & recouping a 3rd round Comp pick 2 years from now (2028) One team is offloading salary & stockpiling picks, the other is desperate for a difference making Green Dot. Obvious fit. •As for Azeez Al Shaair who signed a 3yr $34M contract in 2024. He just logged his first Pro-Bowl campaign in 2025 & he’s also entering a contract year. The Texans are a defensive juggernaut and clearly a roster ready to “go for it” but they know they won’t be extending Al-Shaair after this season with a few other significant contracts to account for in 2027. He likely would only cost the Cowboys this years 4th round pick (112 overall) which is obviously cheaper than Brooks’ compensation but to me, the Dolphins are more likely to deal him given the trajectory of their roster. 🚨if HOU trades Al-Shaair before the draft (pre June-1) they save $2M in 2026 cap space but eat $12M in dead money. Housekeeping note: 🧹 the team trading a player away usually "eats" dead money because all remaining unamortized signing bonuses (prorated money from previous years) immediately accelerates and count against the team’s salary cap, acting as a "sunk cost". However, the new team takes on future base salaries and roster bonuses. Which LB do you prefer? 🤔 (More to come on this topic as I begin my deep dive now⏳)

Just when I thought I couldn’t love Anthony Bourdain more…

Shaq will cover funeral costs for a 12 year old girl who d*ed from a brain injury after fighting her bullies at a school bus stop. W Shaq. 👏

Looks like Pickens.

Michael B. Jordan running to greet Angela Bassett is one of the most pleasant respect moments ever. He always shows there's value in respecting those who laid the foundation for you.

Respiraba aire cinco veces al día. No dormía. Esperaba. Contó hasta el infinito… dos veces. Hablaba en braille. Lo mordió una cobra y murió la cobra. La oscuridad le tenía miedo. Mataba dos piedras con un pájaro. Aplaudía con una mano. Hacía fuego con hielo. QEPD Chuck Norris

ENERGY. ‘Few’ understand what we’re building intelligence on right now. There’s a limit. You can invest across every layer that brings AI to life… but it’s not durability. AI will die. -> Flip the switch, will be worth trillions 8oz medium-rare filet. 4oz A5. Blanton’s.

Chuck Norris has passed away at 86 years of age. Heaven is a lot stronger and humanity is a lot weaker now. He was 1 of 1. There is no replacing him. RIP Chuck 🙏 #ChuckNorris
