With a load of iron ore, twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early

On the pilot of Plot Hole or Not Hole (about a possible plot hole in Breaking Bad), Vince Gilligan explained why it's so frustrating when scripted characters act inconsistently: "Real life is a terrible writer."

Much more in the full video, which you can watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQa6...

I cannot wait for the day when I can vote for a primary challenger to this guy.
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

When you’re talking about curling, it’s broomscrolling.
When you’re listening to the oldies, it’s Sh-Boomscrolling.
When you're interested in touring the Yucatán Peninsula, you might be Tulumscrolling.

Vallvidrera, near Barcelona, has a curling club. Each season, the members of the club go to the local reservoir and toss a stone in to see if the ice is strong enough to play. Since the water never freezes, they go for brunch instead and raise the toast, ‘We shall play one day’.
