I had a great time watching "Strip Law" on Netflix. At various points, it reminded me of "Community," "30 Rock," and "Bojack Horseman." I think you should also watch it, and I wrote about its incredible finale here.

I met the first person in history who said "enjoy the journey not the destination," and I told them about consuming media at 1.5x speed and they were like, "Okay, you're right, this is better."
Give me $500 on the 20-1 odds that the section itself eventually becomes sponsored by an oddsmaker.
Had a nice chat with Kit Harington about the season finale of Industry.

Looked it up, and I'm pretty sure this is a doctored image! It got me at first too, though.

Folks, Jelly Roll missed his deadline to share his political opinions! We must continue holding his feet to the fire!

The nice thing about Google's A.I. search results is that every single Google result now feels like when I'd search "Snoop Dogg Net Worth" in 2016, and it'd pull up a completely fictional number from "celebritynetworth. com" and I'd just take it at face value.
Am I "reckoning with the nuances," or do I just suffer from a complete lack of moral and intellectual clarity?
Depends on who you ask! Is absolute moral clarity even a good thing? Shouldn't more people acknowledge their fallibility?
Oh, I'm doing it again.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Pod is going to Save America smh
Can't recommend strongly enough @jessedavidfox.bsky.social's chat with @chrisgethard.bsky.social about what the world looks like for middle-class comedians right now, because the secret is that it's all one fight, and all of us are in it: open.spotify.com/episode/6wc5...
TV that will bum you the hell out as its characters make awful choices and succumb ever more fully to the financial and social forces that make them worse people? yes, please! the fourth season of INDUSTRY: I adore it.

All of 2025's biggest comedy news stories involved comedians talking shit about each other on podcasts. It was exhausting. My humble recommendation: If comedians are going to talk shit about each other, they should do it onstage.

Imagine if, instead of dropping "Not Like Us," Kendrick just went on a podcast and said "Drake is not a nice man."
That is what comedy beef was in 2025. We have to change that.

This is my final piece of 2025. Thank you to anyone who engaged with my work this year. I don't take it for granted that I only get to do this because of y'all.

Every person my age watched this movie exactly one time and then proceeded to never think about it again.
Had a nice time walking Niecy Nash through the Maria Bamford Questionnaire! www.vulture.com/article/niec...
An incredible profile of Dijon that balances insights into process-y and personal stuff in a way musician profiles so often struggle to do. Shouout @paulxt.bsky.social

This special achieves the rarest of comedic feats: an actual good joke about the word "unhoused."
People always talk about how ring cameras are bad because they create a surveillance state. No one talks about how ring cameras are bad because they ruin the knock knock joke.
You look at the Netflix and Warner Bros. thing and it's like........remember when Microsoft had to go to court for including an internet browser on windows?
Lfg! So stoked for you, man!!
Dutifully posting every article I write on Bluesky for the 12 followers who are active on here (most of whom also write for my publication) to see. Effective grassroots marketing!
Had a nice chat with Cooper Raiff about 'Hal & Harper,' how impossible it is to make independent TV, and how all movie financiers are money launderers who don't know what they're doing.

Spent some time letting Adam Friedland do various bits at me for NYMag's Year in Culture questionnaire.

Wrote about why more artists aren't following in Taylor Swift's footsteps and releasing rerecorded versions of old albums, and about the artists who have.
