on top of everything else this Trump post has the worst misplaced modifier i’ve ever seen
Debra Messing sharing a Trump post: If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival! It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don't want to send, as President, good money after bad. It is my obligation to run

I low-key miss recapping Yellowstone
Vulture comment from 7 months ago reading “If all of you hated this show and its place and its people and its philosophy so much then why did you watch it? There is so much good TV out there that you must have been able to find something that aligns more closely with your personal beliefs. As my wife is fond of saying, "Don't yuck someone else's yum." Are you listening Mr. Rosenstock?”

It’s been a few weeks since CBS announced the cast of Survivor 50, and I’m still making peace with who’s out there playing in Fiji right now. I worked through the grieving process by rounding up some of the biggest snubs for TV Guide: www.tvguide.com/galleries/su...

I interviewed him for his return on Cobra Kai and he was a delight—I think about him saying “it was the ’80s, Benjamin” often
I have to bring up a line from the first episode when Terry says, "Back in the ‘80s, I was so hopped up on cocaine and revenge, I spent months terrorizing a teenager over a high-school karate tournament. It sounds insane just talking about it." I love that canonically, now, Terry Silver was on cocaine in the movie. At the time, were you trying to give that impression, or was it just a really heightened performance that naturally resembles drug-induced mania? First of all, it was the '80s, Benjamin. [Laughs.] He's very successful. That was just part of his world. Karate Kid [Part II/ is by no means a great film, but I'm so proud of my work because even back then, the idea was just to be brave enough not to hold back. John Avildsen took a chance on an unknown actor and just kept giving me free rein to say, "Bring all those things you do, that glee." I think he really tapped into that. Did I know if it was working at the time? I had no idea. When I look back, some of it works, some of it I think doesn't. [Laughs.] But then, it was the director's vision to say, “Here it is. This may be terrible, it may be great, but we're going to go for it." I have fond memories of it.

this might be the best/worst ebook cover i’ve ever seen, now available to check out on OverDrive
A cover for Brave New World by Aldous Huxley with a pale green background, a red and blue DNA double helix running up the left side, and seemingly a stock photo of an attractive long-haired abs-bearing brunette in an open cardigan and bra in the foreground on the right side. Everything is grainy and low-quality, including the model, the helix, the serif title, the inexplicably sans serif author name, and even the background itself.
