It's crazy to me that Zion Williamson's weird finishes around the basket—the layups at a hundred miles an hour, the push shots—mostly still work after he lost his powers. I assumed that was all tied to being able to jump 20 feet in the air

It's wrong of me to believe that the best George Harrison song is "Handle With Care," but it's a free country.

"Prolific" is a word I didn't really expect us to lose the formula for, but I see this a lot now. In the long run all words eventually mean "really good" or "really bad"

Listen I just struggle to accept that he's truly sorry for what he did if he goes right back on TV afterward

Somebody got pissed off and wrote this paragraph into Jimmy Clausen's Wikipedia page 19 years ago, when he was a future superstar, and it's still on there now that nobody cares about him. Fossilized hate

I will never completely recover from having to know who Madison Cawthorn was. A representative from North Carolina born in 1995?? I've never even been there! Shouldn't you be making a law or something

Congrats to these two senators I have never heard of. I'm sure I would not vote for either one of you, but this is how it's supposed to be when I don't live in your state: I should see one photo of you (wearing a suit) when you die or retire and that's it

I think it's like 95% a "this is ours and you shouldn't be allowed to do it" reverse-woke thing. Which is why A Wrinkle in Time should have been made by a director who attends a completely packed lib-but-anticommunist mainline church in 1961

I know it's tough out there for newspapers—and I also know which newspaper this is—but that's enough man

A lot of takes flow from not being able to just enjoy or miss something for its own sake. I do not believe the continued production of mass-market paperbacks would have saved us from vertical video platforms, I just think they're neat

Three terrible hangs and Jane Austen... I would have her wait in the car while I stole a bunch of oral steroids from the hospital. Raking them into a bag until my guy at Barnes & Noble texts me that Sanditon is finished

This might be the only thing I disagree with Weird Al about, but "Money for Nothing / Beverly Hillbillies" is a much cooler title than "Beverly Hillbillies." The lawyers were right

Our experience was that it's hard until the newborn starts to laugh, then the toddler is totally cool with having a tiny audience that erupts at all her jokes and can't leave the room. So you're white-knuckling it for about three months

Seems like a fixation that's not in keeping with his politics until you remember that "Feminized Draco Malfoy" is traditional Roman emperor stock

You don't even have to change this post

I love sitting by myself at a restaurant and reading as much as anybody has ever loved anything, so I wish I could believe that I was not wasting a ton of money doing it. But I definitely am

Not going to read this but I hope it means that he believes the later Apollo missions did land on the moon... if you have to be a crank I think you should be one with a lot of fine-tuned crank opinions

That one's self-indulgent but this one I'm providing as a valuable public service: The nine best Georgette Heyer novels in order. If you have watched the 1995 Pride & Prejudice more than twice you are the audience for this list and it could save your life
