Yes. I am, in fact, ready for some football. @[email protected]

Yes! Grabbing a new, very comfortable deck chair on the Titanic.

Here’s what’s new!

[Robert E. Dorn @robertedorn]

The media landscape is certainly fragmented, but not between “media elite” and “normies.”

There are Hollywood types who have seen and loved Avatar II and “normies” not interested in it.

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

Easy to be snarky about this but it's true that media landscape is now so fragmented that it's possible to be impervious to huge blockbusters (or big music acts or TV shows). There's no common culture anymore.

[Robert E. Dorn @robertedorn]

It’s a miracle anyone receives a tax refund.

Not that they’re eligible, but that it actually gets to them.

[Robert E. Dorn @robertedorn]

Almost all of my sports heartbreak moments have been given a name, that’s how terrible they were.

- Immaculate Reception (yes, I’m old enough)
- Tuck Rule
- The Flip
- Does that Kirk Gibson HR have a name?

[Josiah Johnson @KingJosiah54]

What’s your biggest heartbreaking moment as a sports fan?

[Robert E. Dorn @robertedorn]

@cwmagee This is a random Tuesday.

[Robert E. Dorn @robertedorn]

This is a wild bit of trivia

By holding his members together today--especially at several fragile afternoon junctures where the Capitol was abuzz with families, energy and whispers of possible deals--@RepJeffries leaves House Rs scrambling and holding onto leverage should/if they ever come to him w/ a plea.

This is how you get midwesterners running around in shorts and t-shirts in 65 degree weather

[profloumoore @loumoore12]

It went from -4 to 44 in a week.
Let me tell you that feels like 65.

[Robert E. Dorn @robertedorn]

Not too proud to confess I’m old enough that I saw Five Fingers of Death in a theaters (at the Eastmont Mall).

All the kids in my hood would spend the weekends watching kung fu flicks, then come home and reenact them. Lots of wasted ketchup.

This collection is a time machine.

LA was putting on a show tonight.

[Robert E. Dorn @robertedorn]

“I just got here myself” is an all-time great line.

[Jack M Silverstein 🇺🇸 @readjack]

In his 1990 autobiography, football and Hollywood legend Woody Strode offered insight into the best players he had seen. His take:

"If you give me Kenny Washington and Bronko Nagurski, you can have everyone else."

Adidas store didn’t waste any time

[Avery Trufelman @trufelman]

Seriously- this is an unbelievable A-team that will talk to you about how to find stories, report stories, write stories, sound design stories and shop around and get money for your projects. This is going to be soup to nuts!
Scholarships are available! Consider it!

[maya cade @mayascade]

there is a very online thing happening where romantic partnerships are viewed primarily as a way to assign labor to another.
“who will take care of me in my old age?” “i don’t like cleaning, i need a partner that does.”

may we all find pathways to community outside romance.

[kottke.org @kottke]

The trailer for 65, starring Adam Driver. "After a catastrophic crash on an unknown planet, pilot Mills (Adam Driver) quickly discovers he's actually stranded on Earth...65 million years ago." Sort of a Jurassic Park / Planet of the Apes remix? https://t.co/Wd3RzvANYp

[Robert E. Dorn @robertedorn]

Gonna need @romanmars to weigh in on these.

[Northwestern Basketball @NUMensBball]

All in the Details.

@oaklandrootssc @fentonscreamery Is the kid wearing a… *Messy* jersey?

I’ll show myself out

[Robert E. Dorn @robertedorn]

Fumy watching Croatian fans mad at discovering Messi is still Messi.

[Robert E. Dorn @robertedorn]

@jonrog1 Wait - there’s a difference?

[Robert E. Dorn @robertedorn]

@franklinleonard How has your mission with the annual blacklist changed, if it has, since the beginning? #BlackList2022
