Credit to the NYT for the right headline here. The WaPo, on the other hand, feels like it’s trying to get scolded by @bgrueskin.bsky.social
The right-wing, Adelson-controlled Las Vegas paper was so eager to help Trump, it credited the decision to Trump personally today, even though there was no evidence he had weighed in, and, welp..,
I’m sure Mr. Goswami is a fine reporter, but his take here feels less like an analysis and more like something that could’ve been written by Paramount’s (very able) PR team. I’m sure there are people inside Par who actually believe this, but these threats aren’t at all warranted.
On the left: My 7:58 am post showing up on my timeline. On the right: how it looks when I try to reply to or open that same post.
It’s 1980-something. Can you guess the SUPER PASSWORD puzzle with these three clues?
Baby David Muir and Junior Jake Tapper on January 1, 2008. In addition to looking younger, they both seem so much more normal and less …anchor-y.
This promo popped up for me on Netflix tonight. What caught my eye was it being listed as an Emmy “nominee” (since it won more than a few awards!) but then as the promo played, Netflix US tried to tell me AMC’s BREAKING BAD was a Netflix Original in the U.S., and well, no. It is not.
Does this mean we’re eventually getting a WIDOW’S BAY grooming line? Maybe some funky colognes and perfumes?
@claudialamb.bsky.social she deserved more time than she got, but it was nice to see ABC honor her passing tonight.
And as a bonus: Here’s the same guy, at a different point in his life. How old do you think he is?
If you had to guess, what would you say this gent, born mid-19th century, did for a living?
Also, Doug won big. Don’t know if this was enough to pay for medical school in 1986, but it probably helped a lot!
It’s time for a special late-night edition of America’s fastest growing new game show: HOW OLD IS THAT 70s/80s GAME SHOW CONTESTANT. How old do we think Doug here is?
So guess who anchored tonight’s newscast from Seattle and attended part of the game? Make your own #ETTD jokes.
I went hunting, and it is not! But I do think bad art definitely outweighs the good ones, based on Etsy and Pinterest. (Two nice ones followed by two…not so much)
Of course they had someone singing Toby Keith’s “The Angry American,” with these lyrics. What a message to send to the rest of the world.
Update: While nobody mentioned the Bicentennial on this episode, one of the consolation prizes was this beauty right here.
White supremacists marched through DC, and as far as I can see from its homepage, the Bezos Post only covered the new by folding it into a larger story about the day—and both sides-ing Nazi wannabes and calling what they did a “protest” vs what it was: intimidation.
OK, thankfully many of you agree with me, as apparently did some folks on Reddit 13 years ago, when PARKS & REC was still on the air: Adam Scott is eternal—and in the 70s was performed as Gerry Rafferty.
You may or may not know the musician depicted in this album art is—hint: he’s a Yacht Rock king—but am I the only one who sees a resemblance to someone else who’s famous (and not for being a musician)? Who does it look like to you (other than the person who it actually is)?
Rewinding my recording of the CNN July 3rd special and wow, they really leaned into the whole Dress-Up Harry thing…
