Is there any way to not be insufferable in these?

I feel like all of bureaucracy boils down to someone, at some point, going “I dunno, just…fucking ask Greg to do it” and then centuries of trying to craft the perfect Greg

Somewhere someone is observing every firm and institution that settled with Trump and figuring that they can shake them down in another four years.

I don’t want to pretend that owning physical media makes you a good person, but it is weird to see a concerted effort from media producers to make it harder to own physical media.

I want Isaac Chotiner to do an interview with RD’s spouse where he asks if she ever reads his columns.
I remember one of the funniest things about Ross Douthat is reading a profile on him that admitted his wife isn’t religious & not particularly conservative. Just basically treating his insane views like someone else would treat their husband’s model train hobby.

it is hard to think of another political figure in my lifetime I have turned on harder than Hillary Clinton. I am exactly the right flavor of Middle Aged White Lady to have been DEEPLY emotionally invested in her way back when, but every time she opens her mouth now I’m like “holy shit lady 🤯”
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Only the second worst Sony mistake involving a Korea, though!
I still can't believe Sony sold K-Pop Demon Hunters to Netflix thinking it would be a flop, but are betting that basketball movie with a goat is going to be a huge hit in cinemas.

This shows you what the relative rankings of cast members were about five years ago. How much further up in the list do you think Ken Jeong would be now?

Something I appreciate about GILMORE GIRLS is how complex the writers and actors make Emily & Richard, especially the way Richard’s flaws aren’t as obvious as Emily’s but are oftentimes much worse.
