I am the mild-mannered managing editor for mobile at Tom's Guide. I mostly just talk about sports and movies and whatever's grinding my gears at the moment.

Disappointed she didn’t wake me from my nap to say “Honey! It’s the meme scene!”
I’m watching “Jeremiah Johnson” on my favorite streaming service (Tubi, genuinely amazing) and wow, there was no need for “Dances With Wolves” when this nonsense exists.

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

The hills send back the cry

We’ll win the game or know the reason why
And when the game is over
We will buy a keg of booze
And we’ll drink to California
Til we wobble in our shoes

By Now, we should be used to seeing Donald Trump fawn all over the last guy who deigns to share a room with him.
President Trump and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani emphasized common populist ideals and pledged to work closely together, a sense of agreement that ran afoul of nearly everything their respective political bases have come to expect from them. https://wapo.st/43IO9x9

Habeus Corpus Hootenanny (1964): A local judge (Elvis Presley) rules from the bench by day and races motorcycles by night, but it's a gorgeous cat burglar (Ursula Andress) that has him ready to flip his gavel. With Bob Denver as Moondog the Bailiff.

The first time I was offered a marijuana cigarette I said “pish posh, pot is for the birds!” to the guy, so he pulled out some heroin, I had no rejoinder, and now I’m a smack addict. Thanks a lot poster! bsky.app/profile/thun...

For Big Game week between Cal and Stanford I tracked down the anonymous Oski and Stanford Tree who got into a nationally televised brawl on ESPN 30 years ago that required police intervention. The untold story involves 18 beers, suspensions & lots of blood.
