Mac It Look Like An Accident

Now that I’ve been married for sixteen years, I’m all ready for cuffing season!

Saw a brand-new (to me) turn of phrase today: someone posted a clip from a romance microdrama, and in the course of hailing the talent of the male actor in the clip, said that he clearly deserves to “break into horizontal.”

Don't hate the player, hate the larger infrastructure within which the player operates, which both facilitates and rewards the behaviors associated with players.

Amazing how *specifically* Trump burned bridges with all the voter groups he made so much headway with in 2024. Like I know it wasn’t a plan, but if it *was* a plan I don’t know how it would be any different.

Another thing I learned from my visit to the old place is that “Grok, please explain to this guy why he’s wrong and I’m right” is now considered an acceptable clapback.

Came down with a cold over the weekend. Woke up this morning feeling like 30% better. Encouraged, I took a shower… and now feel exhausted from taking a shower. I hate colds.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

This is legit wild. One of the Trumpiest GOP kooks we’ve had holding high office here in Texas makes an absolute spot-on, beautiful, non-partisan call for government transparency against the governor’s attempt to hide his emails with Elon Musk.

One weird thing about the chuds going apeshit over the Cheesecake Factory stuff is… Obama’s not running for anything. Which congressional candidate is this supposed to hurt?

I am old enough to remember when politicians felt the need to hide behind euphemism and obfuscation. As frustrating as these obfuscations were I hope it is becoming clear to all that they were an advance, historically speaking

Fiction podcast people, we need to go to war for this show. Not just 'cause it's Paul and it'll be awesome, but we need a hit adaptation of a fiction podcast. We need to become the cool place the best ideas come from again.

Look, I'm an evolutionary physiologist, ok? I believe in biology, not this sentimental feminist claptrap. Women are biologically optimized to be nurturers. They run households, they don't fight lions. That's why they're the only ones we can trust to govern our complex, industrialized civilization.

The problem with lot of Democratic eminences 2015-2024 is that they told themselves “I have a holistic perspective that allows me to resist the short-term demands of the crowd” but instead they’re simply moving lockstep with a DIFFERENT crowd, of Reasonable Adults in the Room.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I want to live off the government.

I’m an extremely consistent “blue no matter who” guy in that I’m livid at anyone across the entire center-to-leftist spectrum who doesn’t support the Democrat in the general.

Any media that goes along with “Obama is elitist for making a Cheesecake Factory joke” while ignoring this explicit, absurdly on-the-nose actual elitism telling you who they are.

We watched PROJECT HAIL MARY last night and I thought it was a delight. I don’t expect big studios to make great uncompromising masterpieces anymore, but there’s no reason they can’t make sharp fun entertainment like this more often, right?

Imagine being a wavering moderate Republican or right-leaning independent watching this speech, ready to accept anything Trump might say to reassure them so they don’t have to vote for a Democrat, and hearing this shit instead.

How come in every Insta video now people are holding a tiny Tribble

“You can just start your own studio!” Brother I do not WANT to own a business. I don’t want to be anybody’s boss. I want to write, which is the thing i’m good at!!!

Wait MISTY GREEN is coming out on Netflix in like a week and a half? Isn't it supposed to be a big Oscar player?
