STUFF I TYPED

— wrote about Slow Horses for Vulture because it is my favorite show about idiots saving the world

— wrote about The Fall Guy for Polygon because it is streaming now and I swear to God you will like it

— wrote about the new Pepsi Gladiator commercial and the old one you think ran during the 2004 Super Bowl even though it never actually aired in America

STUFF I CLICKED ON

— Alan Sepinwall ranked the 100 best episodes of all time

— Vince Mancini wrote a really interesting blog about Adam Sandler 

— few things are more in my wheelhouse than “Caity Weaver investigation into just how useless the penny is”

— I am fascinated by the dorks who make six figures running around NYC and filing citizen reports about cars idling too long on the street 

— here’s the trailer for the big new documentary where Will Ferrell and Harper Steele crisscross the country after Steele came out as trans and get a good look at how both America and their friendship are adapting to new things (it looks very good)

— via Weaz here is a fun little subreddit dedicated to restaurants serving food on anything but plates 

— Lasagna oath

— Nick Pickles

— I love the seal named Brian

— do not take financial advice from randos on TikTok

— the Philly Specials’ new Christmas album will feature Boyz II Men

— world's biggest Kansas City Chiefs fan sentenced to 17 years in prison for armed robbery 

— Winona and Keanu are adorable

— lava tube on the moon, baby

— Twitter is banned in Brazil so the reporters at last week’s Eagles-Packers game in São Paulo were texting their tweets to their wives back in America and having them copy/paste and publish each one, which is cute but also feels like a thing that would get really old for the wives after about 36 hours (“babe, tweet out this pic of me at the beach” probably goes over poorly with a person who is wrangling the children and making dinner and doing all the parenting duties solo while the aforementioned spouse is at the aforementioned beach in Brazil, right?)

— government employee allegedly bribed with delicious duck dinners

— I try to keep this all relatively politics-free but I need you to know that there is a scandal brewing that prominently features a man named “Louis Money”

— “Cinnamon Toast Crunch bacon” feels like both a meme taken too far and absolutely something I would try once anyway

— I love a Ridley Scott press tour 

— please watch this
