I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

I’m very into the new Peacock series All Her Fault, but I have two young children and I don’t know if I can deal with it if the little boy ends up dead. Can someone just gently let me know if I should keep watching or not without spoiling anything else?

I hope you’re all preparing yourselves for Rhea Seehorn in Pluribus. Gilligan lets her cook, and her performance is pure magic.

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

The Apple Watch should include workout options like “Cleaning A Basement,” “Raking Leaves,” and “Running After Child at Local Park.” Why do these not exist?

Re Kimmel, it's important that Disney has left itself an out--it is a "suspension," not a cancellation or firing. What happens in the next two days--reaction within the company but also in the press, in the industry, in Washington, among consumers, and on social media--may affect how this plays out.

The Long Walk is one of those rare Stephen King adaptations that makes you feel exactly the way you do when you’re reading the novel. (Complimentary.)

Did anyone else sign up for texts from the new Vince Gilligan show Plurbius? And, if so, do you analyze each one for clues for days afterward like a psychopath?

Sorry, Scorsese. Here’s my pitch for why Cranston and Kravitz both deserve to take home #Emmy gold. They’re both in crowded fields, but #TheStudio created an irresistible drug-fueled showcase that just won’t quit.

"The Studio" excels at committing to a bit
Zoë Kravitz and Bryan Cranston jump fully into the show's chaos for one of its most hilarious episodes yet.

I thankfully heeded all the warnings about the Project Hail Mary trailer & devoured the book before I watched. I can now state that the trailer covers 46% of the book & I’m sending out another warning: Do not watch the PHM trailer unless you’ve read at least half of the book! (It’s v fun and good!)
