Fingers crossed for Carly Rae Jepsen announcing “Essayist’s Delight” next week.

would you rather hear Sleater-Dan, a band playing Steely Dan songs in the style of Sleater-Kinney, or Steely-Kinney, who play Sleater-Kinney songs in the style of Steely Dan

Can’t figure out if this is good news or bad news for Junot Diaz.

I love that 3D movies are now a way for documentaries about art to become even more immersive (plus they show at art houses where you can get a beer). @janusfilms @asideshowfilm

Took the dogs to get their nails trimmed, and the groomer had “London Calling” on. Richmond, I missed you so much.

That photo everyone is sharing of Patrick Mahomes’ helmet shattering it was taken by this photojournalist Emily Curiel @shortlittlekidd of the @KCStar. It wasn’t luck that made the photo, it was her preparation, skill, experience and knowledge of the game/players. Hat tip to you.

@tashaaaaaaa Good luck! People love to tell horror stories about their extractions, so let me counterprogram by saying that I was eating nachos 48 hours later.

@EmbracetheHag Tragically no, but they did let me buy a ton of stuff at the store!

Alabama hired Saban my last year of grad school, and I distinctly remember wondering how much it would cost the school to buy out his contract in three years. Instead, sixteen years later, he’s completely transformed the school and the state. An incredible run.

@EmbracetheHag I visited their headquarters in New England a few years ago and felt like a child in a movie toy store.
