McMahon meme reacting to descriptions of Donald Antrim's forthcoming "My Eliot" ... in order:

1. "Lost in the house he grew up in, haunted by the ghost of his younger sister and his strange, cruel parents, and with the love of his life, Paula, zipping around town in a sportscar"

2. the words "our narrator Donald Antrim" highlighted

3. the words "Instead of writing his book, Donald spends his time with the technicolor trees, talking to a possum named Tom, pursuing the phantom of a little boy, and trying to win back his beloved Paula."

4. "Pages: 224"

The Social Network score had a damn stranglehold on late-night writing sessions for a decade, but there's a new girl in town since 2020 and she never disappoints

A Facebook post by Brian Sauve being shared (sharing user blocked out) that reads: "There is no question:
If what we’re seeing reported about Fauci true, he must be swiftly executed after a fair trial.
He is willfully complicit in mass murderer. See less"

The most soul-affirming, earnest communication attempts on the entire internet: boomers posting comments on YouTube clips of classic rock concerts. The most depraved: Facebook comments on news posts about bicycle safety

responses on a YouTube video: "Van Morrison - Cyprus Avenue - 9/23/1970 - Fillmore East, New York, NY (OFFICIAL)"

Wrote about failed ebike startup Rad Power Bikes for @inc.com As I was fussing with pitching this story, the company filed for bankruptcy and then a warehouse of its bikes caught on fire. Ever have a metaphor just ... land in your lap?

Rad Power Bikes Was an E-Bike Unicorn. Then Everything Blew Up

The startup had everything: ambition, market share, a $1.65 billion valuation, diehard fans, and the wind at its back. Is that what killed it?

boomers love this question as the appetizer to a line of questioning wondering "how you ended up doing this," which ends with a really condescending "good for you" type attaboy and a 10% tip

Always weary when a new customer at the bar asks me my name like right away, sometimes before they even order anything. Give it a second there, pal. You can’t shortcut being an actual regular by just knowing my name.

guy takes a long voyage to save society & misses his kid's childhood. whenever he stops to rest it's on a Dunkirk beach and his men get wiped out. he's always sad bc he recalls inventing a WMD and he palms a trinket to recall home life. loses, then regains, his memory, returns home, becomes batman

This Claude ad on Instagram reveals the story of a restaurateur who used Claude to ... move things closer to the cooks who needed those things? Why didn't the cooks just set up their mise better? What are we even talking about anymore

"When brunch was slow, Eli gave Claude his sales data and kitchen photos. It turns out the ingredients cook needed most were the hardest to reach. That week he began shifting things around, bringing his team into the process and revising as they weighed in. Food came off the line faster, servers turned more tables, and tips went up."

Malcolm X, Network, McCabe & Mrs Miller, O Brother Where Art Thou, but only Jaws is perfectly about a type of East-Coast American hubris our the (lack of ultimate) control over nature AND takes place on the Fourth of July

Curious to hear people’s answers to the question posed here. My sleeper pick is Quiz Show, but Nashville and killer of sheep are particularly good answers included in the article

We live in a post-metaphor society. President snoozing on live TV, bareknuckle boxing on the White House lawn, health secretary chugging unpasteurized milk and leaping into a hot tub in jeans. Robert Coover lived a very long life but I'm still sad he missed 2026.

The Texas GOP just brought an elephant into the convention hall and it apparently pissed all over the place

Look, the “Are You A Real New Yorker“ folks have absolutely nothing on Mainers when it comes to insane anti-transplant NIMBY gatekeeping and outsider hatred. very silly stuff up here.
