After college I went through a huge breakup that left me without a will to get out of the house. I was so sad that even my comfort shows were making me sob uncontrollably. I needed something different. I found Cheers. The pilot episode floored me with how good it was. It was perfect.

I take my Klonopin with a double shot of espresso, which is the anxiety equivalent of two cowboys throwing a knife down in a saloon and "seeing who wants it more."

Maybe I should have checked earlier, but Hollywood is BEGGING for a new Dennis Farina type, right?!? Like, a guy whose whole vibe just SCREAMS Chicago Detective, but inexplicably in LA? The kids LOVE Farina! 🤞🤞

Follow your dreams kids! Today I held a dying mime in my arms while being sexually harassed, and now I'm crying listening to Ben Folds while driving through downtown Chicago to see my wife. Acting is magic. You can have it all!

I feel so bad for the actresses doing UGC ads for Hims. Getting paid (generously) $50 to sit alone in your apartment, filming a fake "morning after" vlog about how much better your boyfriend is now that he's on boner pills must make class reunions a real drag.

It's truly impossible for me to overstate how perfect Andor is. Since I was 6 years old, watching the Leonard Maltin VHS set and playing Shadow of the Empire on N64, this is the Star Wars I always dreamed of. I might actually cry.

I'm not saying he was perfect, especially on LGBTQ+ issues, but Pope Francis was an environmentalist, recognized Palestine's sovereignty, and was open to changing his mind. That's about all you can ask of a Pope. He also told JD Vance to kick rocks and ascended the next day, which objectively rules

There's a phenomenon called The Blue Shift where people who have been to space realize how small Earth is and are overwhelmed with empathy for everyone who inhabits it. Capitalism, as it did with Everest, has turned a transcendent experience into "just a fucking thing for rich people to do because."

Not even joking, one of the most substantial breakthroughs I've had in therapy was when I told my therapist my favorite Looney Tune is Daffy because the comedy of a perpetual loser resonates with me on such a profound personal level. I then compared a cartoon duck to Sisyphus...

People were let down by White Lotus for not resolving every plot thread? Uhhh... I don't know where you were the first two seasons, but these aren't Whodunnits, they're Morality Plays. Money/Capitalism corrupts everything it touches. That's all, folks! Everything else is gravy.

There's an old wives' tale that shaving makes hair come back thicker and fuller, and I just assumed everyone knew that was nonsense. Then one day a woman on my improv team said it, and I had to say "Hannah... I'm bald."

Val Kilmer had a reputation for being too intense, and therefore hard to work with. Obviously I never met the man, so I can't say for sure, but I know most people inherently think art isn't "real work," and meeting someone who absolutely does makes them uncomfortable.

A fun thing to do in your free time is listen to Nobody Does it Better immediately followed by You're So Vain and pretend Carly Simon wrote BOTH songs about Warren Beatty. I... I swear to god, I'm only 32...

The two most unifying moments of the last 5 years for Americans were a big boat getting stuck and a CEO getting got, so I don't know man, maybe one political party could have focused on class inequality instead of kowtowing to the Nazis. Then again, I'm no political analyst.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats. An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Daredevil Born Again is just further proof that Marvel/Disney has no idea what something "being dark" actually means. How can they have so much money, and everything they make looks so shitty?

Hackman was an obvious powerhouse dramatic actor, but it's also obscene how funny he could be. Straight man in Birdcage, lunatic in Young Frankenstein, he really just crushed whatever was in front of him. One of the all-time greats.

It’s sad to think Gene Hackman is no longer in the world with us but man we got to have him doing uniformly perfect work, no matter the project, for a long time and then he got to retire and just be a guy for a while. What more could you want from and for someone you admire

RIP Gene Hackman, the funniest badguy and most rascally goodguy in all time cinema history.

My wife and I start the new season of White Lotus. Walton Goggins appears on screen. Her: "Oh, you love him, don't you?" Me: "I mean... Yeah." Her: "I knew it!" Me: "You mean because he's greasy and sweaty and looks like a dirt bag?" Her: "I know your type."

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

Finished Fahrenheit 451 today, and the bit about humanity rejecting intellectualism in favor of numbness while they literally hurtle toward annihilation didn't resonate with me at all because I'm American and we're God's favorite country!

John Fetterman’s a disgrace to the oaf community. He does not represent America’s lumbering buffoons, ham-fisted galoots, or men whose heavy footsteps are soundtracked by a tuba.
