Ted Lasso finale, g’wan

Fast X: Better than 8 & 9 and I’m here for the gender-fluid Joker-level sociopathic version of Jason Momoa as a Chaos Agent

“Drops of God” has been such a good and refreshing show to watch! #trakt

Finally watching the Super Mario Bros movie and I have a feeling this will be much better than Fast X. Also: Jack Black, what a guy!

“He’s the promise that sports sells to kids and families across the world.”

Truly a joy to find myself in the supermarket and using Clear to tick off items between aisles today!

Brought back the memories of working at @Realmacsoftware.com at the beginning of my career and using the app daily for work stuff and personal errands too!

May the 4th be with you (and yours!)

“If this is your cyborg sent to obliterate the record books, then he often looks a lot like a regular 22-year-old simply having a good time, too.”

Wonderful to read about Anthony Carrigan, (aka Victor Zsasz in Gotham and NoHo Hank in Barry) in the Times

“Twitter isn’t dead. But it’s getting there.”

It certainly feels like the end of an era which, for me, began in 2008-2009

Pep is not taking any risk against Leicester lol: foxes are in trouble today! #MCILEI #CmonCity

My goodness what a goal from Brighton’s Enciso against Chelsea!

Happy #Metallica release day!

Absolute morons!

Bud Light has found itself in the eye of the anti-trans storm. Kid Rock is shooting cans of beer (…) [Conservatives] are calling for a boycott (…) If this all sounds ludicrous, it’s because it kind of is. It’s also indicative of where we are in the US today.

Artifact, the news app from the Instagram founders, is adding comments and upvotes/downvotes, thus looking a bit more like Reddit

Spoiler warning but this is probably the best article you can read about this week’s episode of Succession

“That Netflix can predict what you want to watch, that Google knows which sites to serve you—these miracles are the result of tools developed by spies during the Cold War. Commerce in the twenty-first century is espionage for profit.”

My wife and I recently recorded a one-off podcast to discuss our perspective on our multicultural relationship.

Would love some feedback if y’all find it insightful! 😊 🎧

Reading about “Wavelengths” reminds me how, fundamentally, my friend groups are so segmented that social apps and group chats are not quite for me 😞

I dunno if this one is so bold to Orioles fans and anyone who’s been paying attention these past 18 months but…

“4. The Baltimore Orioles will make the playoffs”

.@FallOutBoy’s #FolieADeux is my favorite album of theirs so this new #SoMuchForStardust is a great discovery!

I haven’t seen enough people talk about how great of a show Shrinking is!

It’s got so much heart and great writing and actors so I am glad it got renewed over at @AppleTV

AO Scott on ending his career as a Film Critic

I’m not a fan of modern fandom. This isn’t only because I’ve been swarmed on Twitter by angry devotees of Marvel and DC and (more recently) “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” It’s more that the behavior of these social media hordes represents an anti-democratic, anti-intellectual mind-set that is harmful to the cause of art and antithetical to the spirit of movies. Fan culture is rooted in conformity, obedience, group identity and mob behavior, and its rise mirrors and models the spread of intolerant, authoritarian, aggressive tendencies in our politics and our communal life.
