Best Thing I Read This Week Jeet Heer on the creepy DeSantis Patrick Bateman add. Lacerating stuff in the way great political writing can be. "Trump, to use an old adage, knows how to fake sincerity. DeSantis only knows how to fake fraudulence.:"

Best Thing I Heard This Week Going to be seeing Jawbreaker live in a bit, thanks to my pal Lars So I revisited this incredible cover of Accident Prone by Julian Baker.Totally different from the original, but just as devastating https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uxT0z-TDEk

Best Thing I Watched This Week Started the first season of the Afterparty, in anticipation of the second coming out this week. Very charming show, full of funny people, scratches the same itch as Knives Out or Only Murders in the Building

So, I am not exactly sure how links work here, but @philschneider.bsky.social and I are back with episode 2 of explaining wrestling to each other. Phil and Nick Explain Wrestling ... To Each Other - Episode 2, WrestleMania VII and WAR | How Wrestling Explains the World (podbean.com)

This is pretty helpful, a false positive or two, but otherwise great

Is Jeremy Grant's contract the largest deal for anyone who's dad was better than him?

Best Thing I Watched This Week Working my way through Primo on Freevee, and itis a purely pleasurable old-school experience. I love complex difficult TV, but sometime you just want to watch great jokes performed by charming people, feels like the kind of thing folks will rewatch for years

Best Thing I Heard This Week The Dunc'd On Mock Offseason pods are the ultimate in nerdy minutia, four guys haggling about whether a team will give Jeff Green a partially guaranteed 2nd year on a veteran minimum contract, the whole thing is moot two days after it happens, and is a labor of love

Best Thing I Read This Week The Devil's Detective by Simon Kurt Unsworth. This was a Sam Spade mystery in a fully realized, horrific underworld. Great world building, some real shocks and a twisty mystery. First of two, and I immediately ordered the second

I go all Forbidden Door this week in my column. The joys of Eddie Kingston, Bryan Danielson and blood https://www.patreon.com/posts/phil-schneiders-85473152?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_fan&utm_content=join_link
