Oliver Platt does have Columbo energy!

Man, I wish I had the freedom to take a train instead!

I Found It: The Best Free Restaurant Bread in America Thirteen thousand miles. Infinite contenders. One beautiful loaf.

I love Caity Weaver's writing and still miss the Gawker "Best Restaurant in New York" series. Thank goodness someone is out here covering the important stories

You should drive with me more often hahaha

Two actors playing detectives on DTF St. Louis look at closed circuit images

I love the detectives of DTF St. Louis so much. Make them a spinoff. The newest season of True Detective.

Lollll

A deservedly judgmental dog in the movie Godland, with beautiful Icelandic coast behind him

You've heard the word of God, but have you heard the word of Dog?*
*Niche post for fans of Icelandic/Danish art films only #godland #volaðaland

I am so happy he can just do what he wants. Weird was super funny too!

This is a total side note, but Daniel Radcliffe is so funny in The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, I wish that show got the attention this new HP is!

Unfortunately I immediately realize that I will now and forever say "You mean Huge Pasta?" every time anyone refers to "HP."

“clown event still possible” put that in your pocket, I can already tell you that this is the key phrase of 2026

I had to translate it first but haha

Chimpanzees Are Really Into Crystals

It brings me SO much joy to learn that chimps, like me, enjoy cool rocks. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/s...

I have read this a couple of times and keep thinking about these monsters profiting as much they can, even clearly knowing it's wrong; they just don't care. They're lizard people, regarding us humans with all the compassion of a chameleon watching a bug, only interested in what they can consume.

Not me reading Playboy "for the articles"!

Little dog tromping through snow higher than him

Dog looking sassy like snow is not going to tell him what to do

Intrepid.

Wow was this made before or after Natalie Wood?

Jessica would never describe someone as sluttish but she would totally give them a look that let you know that's what she was thinking

He knows nothing!

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

This letter from the editor has a paragraph that starts "By removing writing from reporters’ workloads," and immediately I died along with the profession of journalism

I also thought he fell off, but I read my kid a 2023 chapter book he wrote (The Eyes and the Impossible) and we loved it. It almost made up for when I read "The Circle." I didn't fully trust him to write a kids' thing after clinical depression Wild Things, so I did have to Google "does the dog die"

Well I saw the Charli XCX movie (Wuthering Heights)

We watched the Jonathan Demme food-porn episode of Columbo tonight, "Murder Under Glass"

It's amazing

And it got me wondering about The Ultimate Battle of Wits...

Columbo vs. Hannibal

Of course, this is the same Star Trek where they inexplicably let a 12-year-old just live alone for a while because his parents are dead and they seemingly have no contingency for this.

"Everyone you know is dead, now please stop talking to me because I have a report due" ugh I forgot I hate the Scotty episode even though I love Scotty, he's very likeable! They should have let him hang out with O'Brien, he'd understand

For a ship that travels with a counselor on the bridge, the Enterprise of TNG is so lax when it comes to mental health first aid. I'm watching the episode where they decant Scotty from some old pattern buffer, and they're all so rude and are like "yup things are different now, go figure it out"

"Look straight at the camera. ... Turn to your right. ... Turn to your left."

This cold-blooded killer, a Cooper's hawk, is hanging outside our front door. We don't know if it's waiting for us, after acquiring a taste for human flesh, or if it's because of the numerous bird feeders in the yard.

I can't emphasize this enough: if you can't be bothered to write it, there's no way I can be bothered to read it! It's so sad they want to do this to people
