RIP to a legend. I hope if there's an afterlife, Brando has already dropped his angel trousers in preparation for Duvall's arrival.

"...and Coppola says, 'No! Thereβs women and children!' And we did it anyway. There was some woman standing there, and she turned to her friend and looked at me and said, 'Mr. Duvall, you were great,' but she turned to her friend and said, 'But did you catch the balls on that Brando?'" (cont'd)
Many years ago, I got to interview Robert Duvall, He was a mensch, and such a great storyteller. This was probably my favorite thing he told me.
"We used to moon each other all the time on the Godfather. I remember one time Brando went for his belt, and I went for my belt..." (cont'd)
I was supposed to get 15 minutes with Ken Burns to talk about his new Revolutionary War doc, but we ended up talking for two hours, nerding out about history. Did you know he carries around a copy of the Constitution with him AT ALL TIMES? Check out my profile of Burns for AARP. Link in comments.
Just a reminder to Trump that this is what we do to Nazis in Chicago.
Ozzy didnβt fade into the background, he exited like a Norse god being carried to Valhalla on a wave of distortion and dry ice. I wrote some things for AARP about Ozzy Osbourne, and how he proved the human body can run on pure willpower.

The new pope, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, is from Chicago. Which means before the weekend, putting ketchup on a hotdog will officially become a sin. I'm sorry, those are just the rules. Take it up with God!
OK, just hear me out. What if the Oscars were set up like an escape room? Everyone is trapped inside and has to work together to solve the mystery of Gene Hackmanβs death before anyone can leave. This is the distraction. American needs right now!

The best political op-eds get right to the point.
Finally, 2025 has some *good* news.
I need to read the rest of this. TAKE MY MONEY!
Always have a plan B.
I can't be the only one who read this too fast and thought the Dow tumbled because of a blowjob report.
Happy birthday #DavidBowie
When I was a kid, this is what I thought successful, well-adjusted adults looked like.
New Karl Marx cover is fire.
Happy 65th birthday to Grandpaboy!
And even then, I'll need more details.
Rest in peace to the president who showed us how to be a more decent human being. #ripjimmycarter
The perfect Christmas gift for the special someone in your life who wants a 9-year-old book about a 40-year-old looking for punk records from the 80s.

Somebody needs a pencil.
No Christmas songs about whatever is happening here and I think that's BULLSHIT.
Two of the three people in this photo are dead. The one who isn't is celebrating his 81st birthday today.
Happy 65th birthday to the Second City, the theater where I met my wife, wrote at least four books while being paid to sell tickets, and ate the same pretzels covered in mouse poop for dinner because I was broke that a pre-fame Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert did.
This is the exact amount of focus Iβm able to commit to each workday until the end of 2024.
I'm as ready for End Times as I'll ever be.
My dog doesnβt bite. Which is kinda disappointing, because now Iβll never get to recreate my dadβs favorite Peter Sellars gag.
Sharing this as a public service. This is the one and true way to see the holy trifecta.
