Tim Cook had to lead the ship after Jobs died, so it’s probably unsurprising that his tenure was defined by stability, profitability, and a noticeable lack of exciting technological innovations.

His Twitter account right at this very moment

I can abide the inherent contradictions between B**ts R*l*y’s work and its mode of production and distribution, much great art has been produced out of similar contradictions. It’s the self-righteous defenses of his own ideological purity that rub me wrong.

Struggling with mental health today, so I called my wife to calm me down. After we talked I told her, “By the way, my 3 month sabbatical begins after you get home from work. I’m getting on my motorcycle and driving to the desert, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

Loved the finale, but this is giving a bit of “this shot will be taught in film schools”

I am firmly team Jess, for the record

God, I hate Logan. He’s only made a brief appearance in the miniseries so far, but he was less aggressively douchey in that one scene.

Wife and I finished trudging the rocky road that is the final season of GILMORE GIRLS and rolled right into the miniseries. Admittedly we’ve only seen one episode, but I’m shocked it has a mixed reputation, it immediately feels like a steady hand is back behind the wheel to me.

Very rarely pants, too. The guy is 1 year old, give him some pants

A very early episode hinges on Tommy getting mistaken for the child of a millionaire named “Ronald Thump.” That man has been a cancer on society literally my entire life.

Started watching RUGRATS with the baby, and I have a few observations. A) holds up, love the intentionally ugly animation style, B) Mark Mothersbaugh’s musical score rules, C) all of the parents are wildly negligent.

The very first episode of BLUEY includes a gag where Bandit gets sprayed by an unkinked hose, a clear homage to 1895’s “L'Arroseur Arrosé”, considered by many to be earliest known example of film comedy. In this essay I will…

There’s a new Hershey biopic from the director of MEAN GIRLS, which means an executive said “I like Waters for chocolate.”

TV viewers might recall the spate of fake Bernies (think Gil Eavis on SUCCESSION) and fake AOCs (such as Victoria Neuman on THE BOYS) on shows a few years back. By my math, we’re less than 12 months away from a buzzy streaming show with a fake Zohran, mark my words.

This recent listen is no coincidence

“I want to feel you from the inside” suddenly has a much more innocent alternate meaning

If I could sum up millennial fatherhood in one image…

Guy on the bus is wearing a T-shirt with a logo for Bryan Singer’s JACK THE GIANT SLAYER, a movie that stopped existing the moment it came out.

If you have good ideas but can’t write, you can always become an academic. Hey-o!!

She gets the broad strokes

My baby can only say like 10 words, but she does know it’s funny that I call her a tooter when she farts and proceeds to make a farting sound with her mouth. I think she’s a genius.

At Blank Check’s Midwest live show in Madison. Never have I seen a crowd with so many graphic tees (present company included)

I think Heston gets kind of a bad rap these days as something of a ham (which isn’t entirely unfair), but I find his “tough guy who wears his pain on his sleeve” routine extremely befitting both the biblical epics and bummer sci-fi movies he’s best remembered for.

One thing I love about pristine restorations of classic films like these are the moments where the footage looks a little worse because it has optically printed titles or dissolves between scenes. They foreground the physical processes that went into classic filmmaking.

This movie is, in essence, a lover's quarrel set against the backdrop of the Christ story.

Watching the new 4K of BEN-HUR, which looks extraordinary. I’d forgotten that the movie spends about 20 minutes giving you all the grandeur and Biblical myth before giving you some of the most homoerotic male bonding of all time.

Kumail Nanjiani immediately brings what I can only describe as a malevolent energy to the new season of TASKMASTER

Eww, you hate to see it

Still mad that I mixed up the title “The Last Station” with “The Station Agent” today

It's the Velvet Underground of viral meme videos
