Nothing is more American than the PGA vilifying golfers who took hundreds of millions of dollars to play for an immoral, murderous undemocratic, anti-American regime... Then partnering with that immoral, undemocratic, anti-American murderous regime. washingtonpost.com/sports/20…

Had to use the wayback machine to preserve the greatest rock criticism ever written
Billy Joel is evidence that many Americans think they love rock and roll, but actually love show tunes

I'm enjoying Tears of the Kingdom but you're telling me that in years of development, not one person who was on the internet in the early 2000s told them they couldn't make the shrine entrances look like that?

I asked @NYCMayor why he felt comfortable condemning defendants in a Brooklyn gang bust today as “dangerous,” given he has avoided commenting on specifics of Daniel Penny’s case over concerns about tainting his prosecution. He would not answer, only said: “Let’s stay focused.”

Conan is the king, he managed to keep his show SO entertaining during the 2007 writer's strike. BUT, much more impressively: He paid the salaries of nearly 80 staff members whose jobs were idled because of the strike. Out of his own pocket. Man is a legend.

This is true. Here's Conan spinning his wedding ring during the 2007 writers' strike just to fill airtime. It was like this for months. NBC was lucky that Conan is the GOAT, but it's impossible to explain to Gen Z how bad the content will get if there's another one.

Honestly, the catchphrase “Rejected our proposal. Refused to make a counter.” could use some punch-up. But that’s how the studios responded to many proposals that would help provide stability to writers. This isn’t good-faith negotiating by the AMPTP. They forced us to strike.

The Writers Guild of America is now on strike. The AMPTP chose this. They would rather shut down an industry than pay the people who make that industry happen. See you on the picket line.

The Board of Directors of the @WGAwest and the Council of the @WGAeast, acting upon the authority granted to them by their memberships, have voted unanimously to call a strike, effective 12:01 AM, Tuesday, May 2.
