The other day a streetsweeper cleaned the road in front of my house and I've never felt more like I lived in one of those town rugs for children

DOCTOR: It says here you took 3 years off to "soak in tub" ?
ME: (pleasantly) Yes, due to my agonies.

Fascinated by this section of the Wikipedia article about mayors of Wilmington, where it stops counting for a while, loses track of dates, and casually mentions that a mayor with no Wiki page at all was "lost at sea" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

A weird section of the wikipedia page "List of mayors of Wilmington, Delaware" where a couple dozen people seem haphazardly added

Sometimes you need to make something to get it out of your head. To whit: Here's Godot from Ace Attorney reciting the monologue that got Lisa voted off of The Traitors this season

Terence Everitt called for a criminal investigation into then-Speaker Tim Moore after Moore had an (admitted) affair with an (alleged and denied) political corruption twist. The Wake DA did nothing, but Moore put Everitt's office in a basement supply closet as revenge, not realizing that's Cool

I challenge thee to find a better tagline for a movie than this

The poster for the movie The Day Of The Dolphin. The most important part is "UNWITTINGLY, HE TRAINED A DOLPHIN TO KILL THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES."

Since I don't think it's been picked up, I was referring to the time Crockett got upset by basic journalism and tried to Michael Scott I Declare Bankruptcy a profile of her in the Atlantic

I want to make something clear: Yes, she's formerly of the Blue Man Group you're thinking of. Eminently qualified for the role she's being appointed to, but also, yes, the Blue Man Group too.

Spotted at the Durham County Library Southwest Branch: A tribute to Rob Reiner

A display at a library in memory of Rob Reiner. A picture of his star on the Walk Of Fame is flanked by two pictures of Stone Henge. Below it are DVDs of Misery, Flipped, The Bucket List, The Wolf of Wall Street, Ghosts of Mississippi, and an audio book about the making of Princess Bride

I have not been able to stop thinking about this part of Brian's piece on the Nuzzi affair. I've edited a few abjectly terrible writers who have nonetheless been published in Forbes, Vulture, et al It's been clear to me for years that these outlets have editors that sandblast bad writing

Forget the sex; the real scandal here is the crime against language. We may be facing the biggest plot twist in this entire story: What if Nuzzi isn’t a good writer after all? What if, as a friend texted me this week, the true hero of this 15-act opera is whoever was editing her pieces at New York?

I often think about Danny McBride's answer re: why lots of people don't go to the movies

Living outside of the L.A.-New York bubble, what do you think Hollywood is getting wrong about the movies it chooses to make?

In some regard, it’s not about finding what the audience wants to see. It’s about reestablishing why it’s important to go to movies in the first place. In L.A. or New York, you still have these badass movie theaters that have state-of-the-art sound and screens. I’ll buy a ticket to a theater around here, and it feels like you’re in a halfway house. There’ll be movies where I’ll go in, see what screen it’s on and walk right out because I know that the speaker hums or there’s a smell in there.

I have experienced this.

In these suburban towns, they built all these big 16-screen mega plexes in the late nineties, and now those places, feel like relics of a bygone era. There’s six movies playing in there. It feels like you’re in the fall of Rome. Even if what’s Hollywood is making is good, it’s hard to convince people to not watch it in the comfort of their home and their massive TV set when they might go and spend all this money for 30 minutes of commercials and the projectionist to forget to turn the lights off.

Just saw this Facebook reel asking which Zelda water temple level is the best and the inclusion of the Ocarina of Time Water Temple at all, long shorthand for "worst thing in an otherwise perfect game," proves that FB Reels are exclusively for people who have been kicked in the head by a horse

If the tally is still going, I'm voting Eldest Daughter. It's a song that wants so hard to be about something that it's about nothing. This pre-chorus is what someone would write to make fun of Swift. I have no beef with Wood, let her have a goofy song, and at least it's about something
