Should I have run and out and got gas while the tweet was up?
Is wHIMSY very limited on vinyl like that? I had no idea.
I've seen this Timothee Chalamet story chugging along on various feeds for the past couple of days and had no interest in what was going on until @calllmenadira.net heroically summed it all up in a classic @slate.com explainer. slate.com/culture/2026...
You ever open the fridge and see something you forgot was even in there and get super happy? Turkey and swiss double dip from Phillipe's on deck today.

It only took me a little under ten years. My oldest was only a month and a half when I started. A lot of grinding. Some breaks here and there. But it finally happened.
Iβve completed my Kanto PokΓ©dex in PokΓ©mon Go. 151 OGs caught. The last one I needed? This guy.
Go get 'em, A.I. Abrams.
And those tickets are probably a little cheaper too. My 9-year old really wanted to see them vs the Lakers though. We aim to please.
LeBron is out. Booooooo. ππΎ
BUT LETβS GO KNICKS.
When you wake up and look at your clock and it says 7:45am but your phone says 8:45am.
Dark arts ain't like what it used to be.

I'm in TEARS right now. π
She got a strong head, period!
I'm almost willing to bet that this one action is what got him the gig. I'm serious. This was such as act of blind loyalty.
Your new head of DHS, folks. The tough guy who tried to snatch the BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES sign out of Al Green's hands at the State of the Union. (And missed badly.)
"doing the wild thing with Corey" is CRAZY. π€£
DNP-CRICK IN THE NECK
I would rather listen to Skip talk about foreign policy for an hour than to witness Stephen A. make a run for the White House. Wait, what? I honestly don't even know what the hell I'm even typing anymore.
Possibly the best cellular phone ever made. You could drop this from a window 20 stories up and it would still work.
I still have all the magazines I collected from my teen years through early adulthood. They've survived several moves (one cross country). They sit in a crate in my garage. One day I'll finally give them the ol' cellophane treatment. They're legit relics now and should be treated respectfully.
Naming your son Jalen is literally a monument to Jeanne Rose bc she created the name in the first place. I fully remember watching this live in 2022 as it happened. Wildly emotional.
I fully expect to this to get a mention on national TV at some point. Preferably Jalen Rose, the literal OG. It's too good.
Paywalling a story like this is crazy. Here's the list.
Her voice hit that "I was told by Applecare" register.
Just a small reminder that we have money. Tons of it. And we can spend it on things that matter if we REEEEEEALLY wanted to. But no. We have a former cable news host running the Armed Forces and playing G.I. Joe w/ real humans.
Everything is a mess right now (to say the absolute least) but I'll admit that this deluge of video clips of Noem getting held to the fire by House Reps re: DHS/ICE and Leavitt getting banged on by the press re: Iran have perked up my day a little. Just a little.
A graphic in tribute to several music industry titans that have left their physical beings. RIP Jay Dee, Proof, Baatin, Phife (of A Tribe Called Quest), DOOM, Amp Fiddler, Roy Hargrove, Trugoy/Dave (of De La Soul), D'Angelo and Bob Power.
The physical is temporary.
The music is eternal.
The memories are indelible. ποΈ
Love you, Bob. β€οΈβπ©Ή
Oh, in case anyone is wonderingβ¦ the font for all the retro NBA on NBC on-screen stats is Impact. Itβs a classic. It used to come standard on PCs. Theyβre even scaling and skewing the type ugly in some cases (not pictured here) for extra authenticity. My kudos to the art team.
