- Cautiously optimistic. It's hard to believe anyone can address the sheer inhumanity of Rikers Island (and it probably should be shuttered for the good of the city), but if anyone can do it, I'd be willing to bet on someone who has served a sentence there and sees the facility as the problem it is.
- If anyone is using the words "strength" or "ability" to describe attributes Chuck Schumer potentially possesses, they really haven't been paying much attention to the man.
- At long last, someone figured out the Secret Slime Action
- John Hughes' entire filmography is basically one long sublimated fantasy about grooming high school girls, and once you see it, you can't unsee it.
- Tell me five classes you took in college: Sight & Sound Film American Short Story Holocaust Literature Entertainment Finance Screenwriting
- Full Champions League Knockout Stage Draw: AS Monaco vs PSG Galatasary vs Juventus Benfica vs Real Madrid Borussia Dortmund vs Atalanta Qarabag vs Newcastle United Club Brugge vs Atletico Madrid Bodo/Glimt vs Inter Milan Olympiacos vs Bayer Leverkussen
- Oh my God, we're getting the Real Madrid-Benfica sequel immediately
- Good time to remind everyone that if you watch Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue, you never have to watch anything Darren Aranofsky has ever made.
- Suddenly reminded that there is a popular Pokemon fan game out there from the 2010s where the plot involves a town being forced to receive a vaccine with a microchip in it that induces hypnotic obedience.
- I've been pretty lucky in most regards. I had an affection for the Harry Potter books growing up, but their author made dropping them from my vocabulary & nostalgia extremely easy. Maybe Bryan Singer. Can't get myself to watch the old X-Men films or Usual Suspects knowing he's a total monster.
- Five '70s flicks that you love and return to time and again: ALL THAT JAZZ APOCALYPSE NOW WHAT'S UP DOC? A BRIDGE TOO FAR THE STING
- Reposted by Uncle Space GhostICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk
- The football will be unwatchable The content will be tremendous
- Astonishing. Sepp Blatter finally found a grift he doesn't think is worth the payoff
- Alex Pretti comes across not just as someone you'd want to know, but as the type of person who had the courage to motivate people around him to do more with their lives. His execution broke something within Americans because he really was someone you would consider an example of our highest ideals.
- I sympathize with the CBS News staff. The intrusive urge to send the questions they actually want to send to Bari Weiss must be strong.

- Update: The Line is now The Line Segment
- Obviously this is a setback but I think it's important not to let it discredit the concept of building a long, extremely narrow glass city in the middle of the desert. www.ft.com/content/036b...
- Beyond it being apparent that our mayor genuinely enjoys the public service work implicit in functioning municipal government, hyping up our sanitation department and getting on their side is one of the smartest decisions I've seen a newly elected politician make in NYC in a long time.
- I continue to believe that FIFA will drag their feet as long as they possibly can, because they see the World Cup more as an extraction scheme than anything else. But boycotts from individual federations - especially within UEFA - would absolutely move FIFA to act.
- Can't lie. This gave me chills.

- "Bloody January" feels very apt, yes.
- Cowboy Bebop is awesome, because it's 49% this, 49% film noir, and 2% the harrowing tale of why you never leave anything in the fridge too long.
- Huge loss for baseball. This man turned his direction of baseball games into full-on tributes to classic cinema and television via his eye for live editing, and I'm not exaggerating in the slightest. Hoping he has a bright future ahead.
- Look, if ANY former player knows what it's like to manage a large group and get them pointed towards one goal, it's family man Philip Rivers
