Knowing the things he had to do before his death like sell his memorabilia makes the loss of James Van Der Beek more heartbreaking.

I had a VHS rewinder. Not a VCR. It was a separate machine that could only do one thing: rewind VHS tapes.

my most Middle-Aged Dad-coded trait is being genuinely and unironically psyched “The Lincoln Lawyer” is back

the team is going over names on a white board of disgruntled ex-clients who might have a grudge against Mickey and “DIOCESE OF LOS ANGELES” is not crossed out yet, which really made me laugh

Sports reporter with NBC News reporting that the couple in Bad Bunny’s halftime show got married for real
Rohan Nadkarni @RohanNadkarni This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real. They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.

Pretty sure it wasn’t actually Liam. But it was a clear homage.

Gonna tell my kids this is Heated Rivalry
A New Yorker cartoon. A coach pointing at a chalkboard with a play written on it with lots of X’s and O’s and football players looking on. Text reads: "You're gonna line up like this and then run around giving everyone kisses.

If you’re going to have ASL interpreters as part of your performance, maybe continue to show them onscreen for those at home.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I have been opting for "unplugged" watching (no device with me) and dead tree reading for this reason: we have so many distractions these days and I don't think it's just the kids who are struggling.

It really hit me on a long flight how much deeper my concentration was when I had nothing else

Remember, children, hate-watching is just as good as any other viewing statistics to streaming companies.

Just wait for 3rd party clips of the AI show, don’t watch out of morbid curiosity. Love and hate are identical to internet companies, indifference is what they fear
