In other words, if T. Rex were a paleontologist, he could have dug up (with his little arms!) fossils of Allosaurus…

This also means that other dinosaurs like Stegosaurus, Diplodocus and Ceratosaurus also never saw flowers.

But Tr.rex, Triceratops, and Edmontosaurus did see flowers. 🌸🪻🌻🦖🦕

This also mean that the fossils we found of Stegosaurus, Allosaurus were already long buried when T.rex was walking around 🤯

My favorite ludicrous New Yorker style is that they print initialisms in full caps but acronyms (initialisms pronounced as words) in small caps, so in the days of CD-ROMs, they'd write the word like this:

You might as well say you’re adapting Moby-Dick and then spend the whole first season just hanging out with Ishmael and Queequeg in New Bedford. I’d probably watch that, but I’d also be wondering when the hell the whales were going to show up.

In both cases: the dick is the whole point.

I suggest that we start using the phrase "Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too." as shorthand to explain how little we want to be at any given terrible event.

when a comediän jaçks-œff in front of women nònconsensűally
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

this year I started watching some of the bad old episodes I always skipped in the last (ugh) almost 30 years of rewatching, and they were so delightful! I have no idea how much of that is just nostalgia for the way network tv used to feel or what but it was like getting new XF episodes
I’ve started rewatching some of The X-Files and it really is amazing that even a bad episode of this is exponentially better than almost anything from the streaming era.

Me: Eat him?

LK: No, I wouldn’t eat him
Me: What would you do?
LK: I would say 6-7

When I was young, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern was my master class in playwriting - wordplay, wit, structure. I saw Arcadia three times in a row, just trying to figure out HOW he did that. He was utterly singular, RIP Tom Stoppard, there will never be another www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...
