Used to blog about Simpsons; made this account to follow Michigan sports after Twitter died; steadily following more accounts (migrated or not) in other nerdy subjects.

Warde looks haggard, probably time to retire, eat a little better, get some more sleep, enjoy life, you know?
I had to chance to pop over to Kyle Whittingham's press conference introducing him as Michigan's new head football coach and I'm glad I did! I'm excited to see what he brings to the program.

Saw Wake Up Dead Man last night in a theater with a thoroughly entertained crowd. This was a fun companion read this morning, getting at the themes and styles that make these movies so much fun.
New, from me: Time for something fun - I wrote about themes and fashions of the Knives Out Universe (KOU). 🧵

Phil Hartman as the Grinch, from a 1994 Behind the Scenes special on TNT. Not directly related to The Simpsons, but this clip was too good to not share, since Phil was a regular Simpsons guest star during this time.

Friend of mine used to deliver coffee, snacks, and vending machine stuff to this building when it was new back in the 2000s.
According to him that penthouse was originally owned by a Saudi prince.

Helpful of them to show the explosion such that the general penis-ness of the building is emphasized by giving it a visible cockhead.

Its still wild to me that this is what the original DIE HARD marketing looked like because 20th Century Fox didn’t think Bruce Willis could sell an action movie.

This OpEd is a prime example of the thesis of my book: climate policymaking isn’t actually polarized, but instead unified around a center that dismisses climate science and lies about the economics of fossil fuels.
Matt Yglesias has a "Democrats should support more fossil fuel production" OpEd in the Times today, which criticizes me for saying that energy policy should try to uphold the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Because of the way home video and cable worked, it’s likely that WHEN HARRY MET SALLY was where a number of kids learned about orgasms and that they can be faked. Prolly numerous grade schoolers sent to the principal’s office cause they were imitating the O scene.
