@Steve_Sailer The Beatles changed their appearance so often a year-by-year chart cannot cover it all. John and Paul had shaved off their mustaches by November 1967. The 1969 image of John does not show the beard he had on the cover of ABBEY ROAD.

It's bizarre what a big deal The Beatles' hair length was at the time. In 1965, I was in a Heathrow waiting room when a young man with collar-length hair entered. A girl screamed, "It's a Beatle!" and world travelers surged at The Beatle (who was Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits).

Democrats desperately need more straight men working in communications, especially for politicians who are themselves straight men, because it’s weird how so many Dem offices try to speak in some form of “caustic gay wit” nytimes.com/2026/03/31/us/…

This is a super insightful Instagram comment from @SterlingKBrown—who understands the economics of show business as both an actor and a producer—about why so many new seasons of TV consist of only 8-10 episodes.

@WilliamShatner You look better today than you did in "The Deadly Years." May you live forever, Captain.

@MZHemingway I would much rather be the head honcho of Florida than a cringing, subservient Trump toady. "Oh goody, I can have the job he once gave to Jeff Sessions!"

@TheStingisBack I saw STAR WARS as a 9-year-old boy (and loved it). Years later I saw KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS and thought "hey, that is Obi-Wan Kenobi!"

@mattyglesias Women are good at becoming legislators, where the job is mostly talking. The president is THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

Women who run for office get derided by their opponents in misogynistic ways, but they win general elections at the same rate as men.

@ArthurKolchak Electricity?! Faulkner died during the Kennedy administration. He watched television! He heard rock and roll!

It’s weird how historicized, canonical figures in the arts are all flattened in the popular imagination as having lived in some strange, undifferentiated 19th century. Even the great modernists, who definitionally dwelled within a thoroughly industrialized technological paradigm, are all conceived of as some vague Victorian types who wrote by candlelight.

@Steve_Sailer Yankees vs Brooklyn Dodgers was a clash of Manhattan swells vs Brooklyn proles (the latter team was known as "Dem Bums") The Mets are the National League successor to the Dodgers, so most of their fans went with the Mets.

Besides NY and Chicago (where fans of one team hate the other), and LA (where Dodgers fans don't hate the Angels), the other metro with 2 baseball teams in recent decades was the Bay Area. Did SF Giants and Oakland A's fans hate the other team?

@SamAdlerBell Does anybody other than a Dodger fan not hate the other team in their metro area? As a Dodger fan from the San Fernando Valley, I always rooted for the Angels when they were good. But that seems weirdly rare for New Yorkers and Chicagoans.

@SharylAttkisson Jim West's sidekick on THE WILD WILD WEST (my favorite show as an 8-year-old boy) was Artemus Gordon. Abraham Lincoln was a big fan of Artemus Ward, who was sort of a 19th century Dave Barry.

@saintspaco @tblinz This is an episode of MY NAME IS EARL. Whoever did the captions is incompetent. She did not say "baby in my passenger." She said "I have a BB in my ass!"

@FamilyFeud HANK: My girlfriend is going to be on FAMILY FEUD.
LARRY: With her family?
HANK: No, when a family only has four people they throw in a ringer as a cousin or whatever. Don't tell anybody.

@50YearsAgoLive It wasn't long before old Dad
Was cumbersome, a drag.
He seemed to get the message and
Began to pack his bag.
'You don't want me around,' he said,
'I'm old and crippled too.'
We didn't have the heart to say
'You're bloody right. It's true!'
