“Like Michael Jordan and most big screen adaptations of Emily Brontë’s sole novel, Fennell says, “Fuck them kids.” This version only focuses on the first half of the novel, jettisoning the part about the next generation and how the cruelty and misery just keeps on going…”

“This is a horny, hollow reworking,” @kimbermyers.bsky.social writes of Emerald Fennel’s ‘Wuthering Heights,’ “but that seems to be entirely what Fennel is going for.“

I just went and saw the "unredacted" Epstein files.
Hundreds of pages still redacted and I was told that's how the FBI sent them over.

My @supportersupply.co anti-ICE shirt just arrived and looks great. A bit different from the usual stuff I buy Trish for Valentine’s but she’s been wanting something to wear to protests. I got Dodgers colors but they have a ton of color combos.
I like my country like I like my whiskey, neat, no ice

This is a huge loss for MLS. I have no idea what they’re trying to do anymore. They’re killing their website, hardly producing any coverage at Apple, they’re moving backwards at the worst possible time.
However the idea of a unleashed Doyle is pretty intriguing.

Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.
I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.

This is wild. Picturing a Ritchie Tenenbaum situation while he was competing - “There’s clearly something wrong with him. He appears to have taken off one of his skis” (camera zooms in on his face as he aims the rifle) “Tex, is he crying?”

Norwegian Biathlete, At Summit Of His Life’s Work: I Cheated On My Girlfriend | Defector
The biathlon encourages athletes to balance two things at once. A competitor must be able to ski a great distance at an immense speed, and then, as if turning off a light-switch, lower their heart…

Always love when the NBC announcers seem genuinely bemused that athletes from other countries aren’t just handing the medals to the Americans. It’s almost as if they have their own motives, weird.

Watching the luge and I can’t imagine going that fast down the ice, terrifying. But! I don’t like at the beginning when they’re scooting along on their fingertips. It’s undignified.

To paraphrase Faulkner - “For every Democratic politician eighty years old, not once but whenever they want it, there is the instant when it’s still not yet twelve o’clock on that November afternoon in 1963”

One of the most consistent through lines with Trump is that the buck stops far, far, far away from him. He doesn’t know where it stops, but it’s far below him. He then bends the universe to try to make it true

When republicans say “thoughts and prayers” they mean it. That’s all you’re getting from them.

Deadly Friend (1986) is a bizarre mess of a Wes Craven movie. Obvious reshoots, dramatic tonal changes, it’s got something for everyone. But as far as 80s killer robot movies go, it’s no Chopping Mall.

Do we think Apple and MLS have discussed trying to have their own version of Heated Rivalry? “We’d love to have the popularity but can we cut down on the sex and controversy?”
