Trendon Watford is reportedly making his Sixers debut tonight. Over the summer, I dove into his Brooklyn Nets film and tried to outline the pros and cons of his fit in Philadelphia:

New Hilary Duff single is preposterously good — as in, you listen to it in disbelief of how insanely great it is. WOW youtu.be/AOEklH8Eyw4?...

In retrospect, the “He calls his parent’s cousin his AUNT!” news cycle was like when Wile E. Coyote keeps running off the cliff, long after Road Runner has stopped short to watch him fall to his doom

It Starts With ONE YEAR.

My first book came out on Oct. 1, 2024, and the past year has been full of wonderful and gratifying events, interactions and feedback (oh yeah, and a new Linkin Park album and tour too).

I’ve loved every minute. Thank you to everyone who’s supported, it’s meant the world.

It’s been less than five years since Bad Bunny scored the first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard 200 that was primarily in Spanish. Now - Super Bowl halftime show, likely in all Spanish. What he’s accomplished professionally in the 2020s cannot be overstated

Seven years after ‘Maroon 5 in Atlanta,’ I continue to be impressed with the Super Bowl halftime bookings this decade!

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.
Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."
