I feel genuinely guilty at how often I mentally confuse Cate Blanchett (who is a treasure) with Gwyneth Paltrow (no comment).

I'm sorry, Cate. You're *both* beautiful white women, but you are so much more than that.

Advancing this argument in any courtroom, even within the laxly regulated context of opening statements, should be grounds for permanent disbarment.
Geragos: They'll put on a blind expert, who never talked to the witnesses. They'll say not calling 911? Normal. Going on a boat with someone the day after they raped you? Normal. But does it make sense? No. You are New Yorkers. You know this.

Kojak s01e09: Conspiracy of Fear

"You know what I did for money when I was your age, hnnn, well I'll tell ya. First, I got a rock. And then I got a shiv, and when I could afford it I got a cannon, and I was on top of the world. I couldn't do anything wrong. So what are you crying about, huh?"

After much "I am in a small apartment and in a time of personal transition, can I really justify buying a nice meaty book" hesitation, I finally got the Mountain Goats lyrics book. And as it is structured as a Book of Days, I— for now!— intend to make it through this [coming] year, if it kills me.

Flavor Flav: "This is alright. I see this as an image that can't get kids in trouble. You know what I'm sayin', they can wear their hats to the side and wear glasses. As long as they still do the right thing in school. Know what I'm sayin'? It looks COOL."

Not to spell it out too clearly, but by accepting the DOJ's argument that the injunction harms "officers’ ability to protect themselves and the public in very dangerous circumstances," the 8th Circuit is acknowledging that ICE cannot operate within Constitutional restraints.

After the failure of negotiations in Damascus, a general mobilization has begun in Rojava. Youth from northern Kurdistan appear To have crossed the border to join the defence. it feels like 2014 again, complete with horrific executions of SDF prisoners.

I'm playing New Vegas for the first time since Matthew Perry passed, so in remembrance I banged Benny. I'd never tried it before! Honestly I'm not sure how respectful this tribute was, but I'm shaking my charlies for you now, Mr. Perry.

The Greeks viewed xenia— the reciprocality of hospitality— as sacred. Troy lasted 2000 years but it was sacked and burned when Paris abused the hospitality of his host. The suitors of Penelope were cut down like wheat when they plundered Odysseus's home.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

Bari Weiss: The only newsroom that I'm qualified to run is

Crickets:
During today's editorial call, Bari Weiss doubled down on pulling the CECOT segment while lashing out at Sharyn Alfonsi:

"The only newsroom that I'm interested in running is one where we are able to have contentious disagreements about the thorniest and editorial matters, and do so with respect."

This is like criticizing First Blood for Brian Dennehy's performance, or Terms of Endearment for Jack Nicholson's.

If you don't understand the concept of a supporting actor, that's fine, but it's also a "you" problem.
Quentin Tarantino says 'There Will Be Blood' had a chance to be his greatest film of the 21st century if it didnt have Paul Dano in it

"it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but ... [Dano] is weak sauce, man ... He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest fucking actor in SAG [laughs]"
