I went to Kings Island today with the baby boy and his grandparents (he rode mad rides, and I got a soft pretzel), and we’re going downtown tomorrow to Cincinnati’s Asian Food Festival. #WHCD
Suck it, nerds.
I enjoyed the #whcd weekend traditions of party hopping & bloodmoon sacrifices (& bottomless free brunches on Sunday sponsored by Reuters, followed promptly by blood sacrifice of the Lottery Virgin) as much as the next Washington media guy but it starts getting old after your 20s
I am of course kidding, the Reuters event was only ok

there is an alternate ending to Natural Born Killers where the guy who helped Mickey and Malory escape kills them in their van, then credits roll. Oliver Stone said that IF he were to kill off the lovers, it would never be by a virtuous institution or The Good Guys…
…It would only make sense if they were brought down by someone like them, someone of the same debauched and depraved stripe. Anyway, been thinking of that alt ending in the days since the Tucker Carlson firing.
He was never going to be taken down by a media matters boycott or because he did too much Replacement Theory or because of any twee liberal drive to hold him “accountable.” The only way this makes sense is that he was booted off the island, as if he were one of their…
I can’t believe I’m defending the guy but cmon are you saying you’ve never done that with pudding
If you don’t have utensils and you’re a starving, angry man, you’re gonna use the fingers. The reported pudding fingering is only being played up by DeSantis’ critics because he already had an entrenched reputation for being a mean weirdo with zero social abilities...
…There’s nothing inherently that bad about pudding-fingering in and of itself, it’s because lotta people wanna understandably dunk on Florida man, and they’ll go with it cuz why not. If Tom Hanks were photographed pudding fingering, the fake news would love if they would LOVE IT
I am being sincere: If the question is what is the best Hbo show in recent years about a succession fight in a powerful, insanely wealthy right wing American family w/ a towering patriarch, featuring a Culkin brother” & you’re answer isn’t the righteous gemstones, u are Fake News
You probably thought the Steele dossier was out of a Tom Clancy novel instead of a coen bros movie when you first saw it
are conservative influencers and politicians getting this Mad about bud light because they didn’t know she was trans at first, thought for a second she’s hot, and will therefore never forgive the insta ad for it
It’s one insta thing that you never would have otherwise seen, done by a company whose product you probably don’t drink anyways
Don’t Republicans know beer is gay and/or trans now? has been since Obama was in office. Doritos, gay as well. Honda? Gay. NFL? Gay and flag-kneeling. Chick fil A? Bi-curious now.
A truly annoying thing Aaron Sorkin does all the time that will never stop being annoying is he gives characters things to say that sound dumb, so that his preferred character can swoop in & correct it in pompous ways… but the initial dumb thing never sounds like a…
…thing that the first characters would ever say.
In The Newsroom, he had the supposedly brilliant, courageous, war-zone-seasoned producer say that Jeff Daniels cries like an onion, only so Sorkin can tee up Jeff to say that onions make u cry they do not themselves experience emotion. In Charlie Wilson’s War, the cia guy says…
I wonder why it might have been uniquely emotional for Biden!
He’s the president and should be harshly scrutinized over his record and actions and everything else in between. This is a story related to how he’s also a guy who’s buried more than one of his own children. These types of stories about presidents aren’t my cup of tea but…
