Down these mean skeets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid.
Just off the top of my head:

Boo Radley
Weissberg
Ned Pepper
Maj. Frank Burns
Frank Hackett
Bull Meechum
Mac Sledge
Lt. Col. Wild Bill Kilgore
Tom Hagen

Robert Duvall is indelible. Irreplaceable. A giant.

I'm not a gun guy at all, but winter biathlon is more compelling by an order of magnitude than plain old cross-country skiing without the promise of intermittent gunplay. #MilanoCortina

Getting strong NIGHT OF THE HUNTER vibes from the sing-songy children in this Olympics-themed Toyota commercial. Pretty sure this isn't anything Charles Laughton ever envisioned.

NBC News just broke in with a Special Report, and it's about a break in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, and like everyone, I hope she can be recovered soon, safely and in good health.

Not gonna lie, though. For about 5 seconds I thought It Had Happened, and the anticipation was exhilarating.

"Mixed Team Ski Jumping" is misleading and disappointing because, like doubles luge, one imagines them jumping in tandem. #MilanoCortina

My favorite part of luge (and presumably bobsled and skeleton) at #MilanoCortina is the follow drone, and I always feel a twinge of disappointment at the point we see it veer away and the fixed-position cameras take over. I hope by Nice 2030 there's a solution for a drone to cover the entire run.

If you support and defend an oppressive regime, it's easy to imagine the strongest impulse of an oppressed culture would be retaliation and retribution, when most of them just want a seat at our table.

So we can see how much it flummoxes you when one of those cultures offers you at seat at theirs.

I'm watching men's ski jumping, and I love that they refer to one of these events as "normal hill," as though there's anything remotely normal about launching yourself into open space with a pair of carbon fiber planks strapped to your feet. #MilanoCortina

Quadrennial reminder that, given a comprehensive menu of options from which to choose, *crushed between the thighs of a speed skater* would not be the worst means of egress from this mortal coil.

Still awed by, marveling at, wrapping my head around the sheer scope and spectacle of what Bad Bunny and Roc Nation pulled off last night — not simply a halftime show but effectively an Olympics opening ceremony produced to scale and adhering to a tight timetable. 🧵

The Seahawks close the book on the NFL season.

Salvador Perez reports to Surprise, AZ, in two days. #Royals

He was going to be aggrieved and fuming no matter what, but if Bad Bunny really wanted to get under Trump's thin skin, his show could have included a Trump avatar to whom he tosses a roll of paper towels.

Now that points are actually being scored in the endzones, I think K9's got a shot at #SuperBowlLX MVP.
February 9, 2026 at 2:51 AM
At 13:24 in the 4th quarter of #SuperBowlLX, finally, a touchdown, the entire point of American football. Our long national nightmare is over. #GoHawks

Everything about that Dunkin' ad is terrible except for Jennifer Aniston making a deez nuts joke. Surely there was an easier way to make that happen.

We're witnessing strong Week 7 energy in #SuperBowlLX #SEAvsNE
February 9, 2026 at 1:08 AM
I just noticed on my Hulu home screen that there's a mirror channel streaming #SuperBowlLX en español. If I switch over to it at halftime will Bad Bunny be singing in English?
February 9, 2026 at 12:59 AM
You refer to games like this as "defensive battles" so you never have to say, "Real punters' duel we're seeing today, huh?" #SEAvsNE #SuperBowlLX
February 9, 2026 at 12:23 AM
In homage to the absent Kansas City Chiefs, the Seahawks end their first possession by settling for a field goal inside the red zone. #GoHawks #SuperBowlLX

This skeet did not age well. Made it 3 minutes.
And now the greatest two-chord band in rock-and-roll history, who I'm guessing were told they couldn't play "American Idiot" this one time. #SuperBowlLX

It was brought to my attention earlier — and I had no memory of this — that Bad Bunny made a cameo in the Super Bowl LIV halftime show six years ago.

Apparently I was too busy fact-checking Shakira’s hips to notice.

Today I drove past a small but vocal protest lining the street near a busy intersection by a local park, and while I appreciated her presence and her energy, I worry that the woman whose sign read "At least Hitler was popular" has never seen, let alone weighed the risk of embodying, a Dril tweet.

To deal with the winter cold, share one of your favorite winter movies!
