Funny story about the Springsteen movie—

Last year my wife and I saw A Complete Unknown (the Dylan movie), and she hated the side plot of the tortured male genius ending his relationship with a great woman, effectively saying, “I don’t have time to be with you, I’m too busy being a genius.”

So we see the movie last night. And it turns out the writer/director **literally made up a female character** just so Bruce would be able to say that to someone!!

My wife was not happy.

But we did get a good laugh out of how thirsty the movie was to use that trope.

A few days ago, I finished reading the book that the Springsteen movie is based on, and I told my wife “Great news! There are no women in this story at all, so the movie won’t subject you to Bruce breaking up with someone because he’s too busy being a genius.”

I highly recommend the book! (The movie is adapted from it.)
Happy Nebraska Day to all who celebrate
“A good night’s sleep will often do wonders”

Yeah, so why aren’t they letting their employees have that? No one has ever slept well on fucking concrete.
Something about the line work looks very Totleben-esque, but I know this is decades earlier
I can’t believe I’m defending Leavitt, who is pure evil, but the question she was asked was specifically about other changes to the White House. Framing her response as some broad statement about the entire administration’s focus would be a bad-faith lie.

That said, do it anyway. Fuck her/them.
While I never once thought Cuomo was a particularly good person, I thought he at least possessed some vague standards of caring about others. So I am genuinely surprised that he so quickly became perfectly aligned with Fox News.

He’s one of those guys that you could always tell in interviews, even early in his career, that he’d be a hell of a media guy one day.

I think the same thing about Jalen Williams right now.
Bad movie, but I conceptually enjoyed the idea of a Death Becomes Her update starring Goldie Hawn’s daughter
I was wondering if trading Capella and a first could potentially snag them Simons or Pritchard from Boston
I still can’t get over that starting lineup. Wonder how long it lasts.
82-0 officially still on the table for OKC
