“The Chair Company” is soooooooo weird.
Easily the weirdest thing Tim Robinson has ever done. And that’s saying *A LOT*

I should be more excited about the new Frankenstein movie. Christoph Waltz! Oscar Isaac! GDT!
But sadly, I can’t muster any excitement.

Savor this moment, friends.
They couldn’t buy their way to a win. They couldn’t racist their way to a win. There are more of us than them, and we fucking beat them. And we can keep beating them.

Co-signed. Rochester is part of Bills Mafia land—although I’d much prefer a beef on weck over a garbage plate!
Some people have objected to Zohran citing garbage plates here, but my kid has no homework this week because the Bills beat the Chiefs yesterday ("If your parents ask, tell them Josh Allen ate your homework.") so I think Rochester has just as much claim to the Bills as Buffalo does.
We didn’t smash any tables. We didn’t eat a garbage plate. But you better believe the Bills got that W today.
Thanks to Gov. Kathy Hochul for bringing the #BillsMafia energy to Astoria today—and to Murphy’s Bar for having us.

Writing Classes Are About Writing, Not AI-Aided Production
If we want students to learn to write, AI tools shouldn’t have much of a role. If we don’t think students need to learn to write anymore, I’m not sure what we’re doing here.

I love this sort of food/culture analysis.
As restaurants serving Indian cuisines continue to become some of the hottest reservations across the country, I wrote for @slate.com about their uneasy relationship to butter chicken. Or really, their uneasy relationship to what butter chicken has come to represent. slate.com/life/2025/10...
Many Indian Chefs Want to Banish One Beloved Dish From Their Menus. Getting Rid of It Isn’t So Easy.
How did such a “basic” stew become so controversial?
