Just sold Robert F. Kennedy Jr. an ounce of the gamy-smelling green pellets I feed my turtle for $1200. "Can you throw in some of the juice?" he asked. It took me a minute to realize that he meant some of the water from the tank. I filled a shot glass with it and he tipped me $100 in cash.

Tyrese Haliburton is really good, and I can see how what I am about to write could read as critical, but there are some subtle but noticeable Jar-Jar Binks Notes to his style that make him extra interesting to watch. He's about as silly-seeming as a player this good can be.

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

It was a pleasure to have @alansiegella.bsky.social on the podcast this week to talk about The Simpsons, his fun new book about The Simpsons, and reaching out to Paul Verhoeven for comment on a dramatically significant Bart Simpson keychain in Basic Instinct. defector.com/monorail-ori...

I don't like the Pacers but I can't help but admire a team that wins by activating Vile Little Gremlin Mode and just hanging out there for as long as possible. So it's complicated. Much too think about.
