I tweeted this after watching Avatar 2, but I saw Titanic for the first time last night and it was the cinematic equivalent of an out-of-body experience. I need another movie that will get my heart to pound out of my chest like that again and I need it now.

James Cameron makes 3-hour movies that make me want to vomit everywhere in terror. And the fact that he figured out how to convince people to let him make movies 3 hours long in the first place makes him my hero.

Can’t believe the AMPTP told a bunch of actors they’re not special and thought it would go over well

Pivoting to video

This is so wonderful. In 1999, Pokémon cards in my school were treated like illicit substances that corrupted children.

To watch a school harness the enthusiasm of these kids and give them a sense of community over their shared interest is great.

Orcas have sunk 3 boats in Europe and appear to be teaching others to do the same. Scientists think a traumatized orca initiated the assault on boats after a "critical moment of agony" and that the behavior is spreading among the population. https://t.co/zJdP8eHtQW

Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵

every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3"

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Shohei Ohtani’s outing was the 26th since at least 1901 with 10+ strikeouts and no runs allowed on Opening Day

it’s the first time that pitcher’s team lost the game

last year I was chilling Yankees press room, writing my lil stories, when one of my Japanese colleagues asked me to help translate something. bet.

everything seems fine, but then he's like... "what is 'Tungsten Arm O'Doyle'?"

I had to hold back my screams

When I recently texted #Vikings safety Harrison Smith to ask about his contract situation, he simply sent back this photo of Prince. Since Prince is a Minnesota icon, I asked if that means he’s sticking around. But I didn’t hear back.

I just saw a house in Frogtown, Los Angeles, listed for $1.8 million.

If you buy a house in Frogtown for $1.8 million, you are
A) a huge sucker
B) an ignorant-at-best asshole, and
C) the poster child for everything wrong in Los Angeles.

Notre Dame: "We turn away a record number of valedictorians in our applications, we're so hard to get into, blah blah blah"

Also Notre Dame: "Our advertising/partnerships team is just handing opposing fans a joke on a silver platter."

The Game Boy Advance SP had the best design of any video game system in history. No notes. Perfection. Making any other system was and is, inherently, a mistake
