Checking the newspaper to see if your favorite show was new that week or if it was a rerun and if it was a rerun getting excited if you hadn’t seen it before.

And relatedly, everyone watching the same shows when they aired because that’s when they were on and talking about them the next day.
What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?

Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.

Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

I truly think an agent could get Shams to write anything in exchange for transaction news. “Please include that we also represent the ghost of Master Splinter, who was very real but died in a boating accident.”

Resharing this because it feels necessary after that Elio report, the piece that earned me more death threats than anything else in my 15+ years of professionally writing about cinema:

Seeing Nimona With A Crowd Of Queer Kids Was One Of The Best Moviegoing Experiences Of My Life - SlashFilm
It's one thing to know an animated film like Nimona is important. It's another thing entirely to experience that importance in real time.

Legit a really good state of journalism in 2025 discussion.
@pablo.show Pablo’s conversation with @billsimmons.bsky.social on his show is a required listen for journo students. Filing it away for airing in my principles of journalism class next semester. Great stuff!

At my old workplace there was once a chicken-wing eating contest and one contestant was going so slowly that a coworker shouted out scornfully, “He’s just eating lunch.”

"what is a woman?" (and companion questions "what is sex?" etc) really is the trans rights version of "is a fetus alive" -- the answer doesn't matter and has the effect of reorienting discussion away from the wellbeing of the trans person, or woman, at hand
