Guy at the Lily Allen concert bringing up the Virginia election returns on your phone, you’re the real hero

Okay so Atlanta just now tied it up, but the point still stands.

Important update from Chattanooga

I’ve had a really long day and I have a headache but even without that, I think I’d still cry over the splashdown.

Hunter Museum

Something probably on fire across the highway.

Weird thing about my office is that I have a great view for what feels like quarterly fires to the south.

Need to find my “Doing it for his Mama” shirt

Second greatest moment in UMW’s competitive history (first is when we were second in the national debate ratings, just behind Yale)

BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA 🇧🇦ARE GOING TO THE WORLD CUP!!

ITALY HAS MISSED THE WORLD CUP AGAIN

Trying to decide how I feel about this disco version of “Ode To Joy” playing in Fox’s Italy-Bosnia Herzegovina coverage.

Also the library was apparently as surprised as I am about the new Tana French because it appears they have not even preordered it???

Went to the library’s website to pre-reserve the 4th volume in “On The Calculation of Volume” (aka Danish Groundhog Day) and someone had already reserved it before me, and I’m just like “who is this weirdo and how do we meet.”

Every day that Asteroid City is not in the Criterion Collection is a day we stray further from God.

Doing my annual compliance training and the narrator on the information governance video sounds like the narrator in the Jurassic Park infotainment video.

Emily’s post about having to tell her teammates she is banned from playing with them at the end of the month.

Part two of Emily’s post about having to tell her teammates she can’t play football after the end of the month.

Emily on the football pitch with her teammates.

1/ This was so difficult for Emily to do. Having to tell her team she is banned by the FA at the end of the month from playing football just because of who she is. It tore her apart telling them. She then had to pull it together and play football, which she did. On the way home we both cried a lot

I regularly rewatch this.

little kids everywhere will be super psyched when the oscars finally do the kpop demon hunters song at 11:58 p.m.

Oh Secret Agent is SO good.

ABC making a good argument for why they are losing the rights to this

ABC’s version of the Glambot is making people walk very awkwardly towards the camera.

Stunning from Elle Fanning

Rose Byrne in black patterned strapless gown

Oooh, this is pretty. (Complete coverage on GFY tomorrow, of course, and the chat is up and running!)

I WOULD DIE FOR MAX DOWMAN

Inside the Department of War are two wolves:

"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."

"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

Ricardo Calafiori talking about Collateral Beauty

@joereid.bsky.social @chrisvfeil.bsky.social Arsenal’s social media team did a prompt of “what movie do you wish you could see for the first time again” and this answer had me screaming (he’s Italian, maybe it plays better in Europe???)

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

“It depends.”

Feeling very betrayed by Chattanooga-region AMCs, which showed me a preview for Sirāt before The Secret Agent and has yet to put Sirāt in any of its theaters and it doesn’t come to digital until after the Oscars.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

One of my faves! NGL there’s like 75 pages in the middle that’s a debate on pre-Lenin socialist policies that drags a bit. But otherwise it’s great!

Two immediately come to mind:

1. If Greta Gerwig wants to try early 20th century Russian intrigue, she is suited to the teenage girl and complicated family dynamics of Rebecca West’s “The Birds Fall Down”

2. WHY has Phoebe Waller Bridge not done a Dorothy Sayers adaptation miniseries yet!??
