"That so few people are even willing to try what Nuzzi did with American Canto speaks to how passive, cowardly, and uninspired the Millennial Generation remains." https://t.co/mPnqHuiMsh

"In the Maryland hills, an idling Ford V8 Coupe covered in mud sat parked in a dirt farmyard driveway announcing its presence. The car coughed up a cloud of dark smoke. The mere mention of 'Pour me another whisky' Uncle Carl flustered all the relatives." https://t.co/rd7na5oAE5

"As for the Eagles game itself, well, green fireworks and confetti aside, they lost. It was a bummer, and as far as extreme superstition things go, I’ll never be able to go to an Eagles game or wear any of that gear again." https://t.co/8VTXKYpao4

"The tension builds up as the cops wonder who they can trust, and whether some of their colleagues are dirty and after the money. Also, someone’s calling and threatening them, who may have been connected to the cartel-instigated murder of their colleague." https://t.co/cqNuxQdEKr

"The PGA has created Equity Grants, an incentive for players to own part shares in the PGA. This is important, because the PGA is now using Equity Grants as leverage against recalcitrant people. Like Brooks Koepka."

"OMAHA is a tough sell, even after a year of films that examined the pressures of parenthood. There aren’t many upsides to the ending, but the film does function as a vehicle for Magaro, an actor who’s been forced to make the most of secondary parts." https://t.co/xEDL5VlXQi

The independent drama Nowhere is an atmospheric road film with a career-best performance from John Magaro.

"They stand for nothing but the cowardly fear of losing their freedom under the illusion of God-given rights. The land of the free? It never was. We can no longer pretend the water closets clogged up with the dregs of big monied constipated consumption." https://t.co/ZbbeiqySvB

"If the Niners lose this weekend, seems likely, I won’t suffer a moment of disappointment. If the Seahawks win, I’ll be happy for Tim. If the 49ers start kicking Seahawk ass, I may leave early."

"Glasser was so disgusted by Trump that she and husband Peter Baker wrote a book about the President’s first term. I’m sure the 'disgust' meter was switched off when they received an advance and royalty checks."

Partially ex-communicated Nate Silver’s sloppy on social media, but he’s a better read than perpetually “outraged and angry” kooks like Susan Glasser.

"I don’t like George Clooney. I don’t know if he’s vegetarian, but I’m assuming no. I’m sure he’d be very nice and politically correct towards me in public, but once we got alone in a trailer, he’d start plucking my feathers and tenderizing the meat."

"I’m not sure Ericsson Pl. should count as a 'one and done,' as it’s a renamed one-block section of Beach St. between Hudson and Varick, facing the Holland Tunnel. However, it gets its own street signs and is unaccompanied by Beach St signs at all."

"They praise fertility while maintaining systems that make parenthood a luxury. They extol marriage while tolerating housing markets that require two high incomes just to secure a modest lease. What’s framed as moral failure is often economic exclusion." https://t.co/sJvL0ErX0s

Conservatism has always liked the past. Lately, it has started trying to administer it.

"If you were hoping Bone Temple would be a zombie movie, you’re likely to be somewhat disappointed. But if you mainly sat down to see some gory special effects and a completely over-the-top Ralph Fiennes, the movie delivers." https://t.co/KgdfkrE6UI

"The women are here to pole dance, we in the audience are here to look at them do so, and the dancers make sure their bodies are on display. This kind of situation is usually set up by men who want other men’s spending money. But here the women set it up" https://t.co/gCnFv50div
