Leaving R. Lee Ermey off the In Memoriam segment is an embarrassing moment in an already-bad
#Oscars
. He was one of the most iconic and recognizable actors of the last 3 decades. Toy Story, Full Metal Jacket, Seven. This is rock bottom,
@TheAcademy
. Shameful.
Update: Bryan’s out of surgery and all went smoothly. He’s already giving the nurses some pain-med induced snark, so clearly they didn’t remove his frontal lobe. THANK YOU to everyone for your support and well wishes.
After 14 long years,

@CedarsSinai
to biopsy his tumor so we can FINALLY find out what we’re dealing with. If you have a few extra mins in your day to send us positive vibes, we’ll gratefully take ‘em. He’s in surgery right now. ❤️🙏🧠
Anyone who’s had cancer - or any major illness - knows the feeling of getting a shockingly-high (and unexpected) medical bill after the fact. This is a positive step to fix a flawed element of the medical system.
Americans have a right to know the price of services before they go to the doctor. Today, President
@realDonaldTrump
finalized a rule requiring hospitals to make information about the cost of care available to patients up front.
12 years ago today, I was told I had as little as six months to live. I guess the doctor didn’t know I specialize in shitting on people’s points. (sniff)
....anyway, enjoy this picture of Tessa celebrating her self-styled outfit of the day.

Perhaps a good tweak to this rule may include:
No clock in the 9th inning
And/or
No clock in tied or one-run games
The excruciating drama of the chess match in late/close games is the best part of baseball. We want the pitchers to work fast in the 4th inning, not the 9th.
Finished round 1 of the new meds. Feeling pretty good, all things considered. Side effects are calming down. Starting round 2 in a week. Thanks for all the words of encouragement. I see them all and I appreciate them.
UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who checked in on us and wished us well over the last two tumultuous months. I finished two rounds of my new medication on August 1 and yesterday we went to get the results of my latest…
Bruce Willis never got his due as an actor. Zero Oscar noms. Maybe it was the action movies, the 80s/90s flops, the TV career, the music career; but he was legitimately great in 12 Monkeys, Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Pulp Fiction, Looper, Sin City and of course Die Hard.
Today is the 11-year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis. I wouldn’t be here today to celebrate without the support of family, friends, coworkers, medical professionals and everyone who supported us on this journey. We appreciate you all. cc

I'll be honest: At first, I wasn't too sure about the message behind this tweet, but I guess if anyone knows about being "especially harmful to children," it's a Catholic Bishop.
Plus numerous other roles in huge movies. R. Lee deserved better. Certainly better than some bald dummy paying tribute for 30 people on twitter. Here's to you, Gunny. Hoo-rah.
Thank you all for asking for
@baldbryan
updates. He got home yesterday & is doing really well. He’s tired & keeps feeling things moving around in his head (I’m too tired to be clever so add your own joke here). Otherwise, very minor discomfort. Results to come.❤️🧠

's death pretty hard today. Everyone is entitled to their own choices when battling cancer, but please don't suffer silently. Your loved ones want to support you. Let them.
As long as I live, I’ll never understand how, during a global pandemic, wearing a mask inside a public space (grocery/hardware store/airport/etc) became controversial, let alone political, let alone a violation of one’s civil rights, let alone a referendum on one’s manliness.
Finished my 2nd round of meds yesterday. One of the MANY difficulties of the meds: Breakfast had to be light (<300 calories) & low-fat (so the meds could absorb). Made it impossible to put on weight. 1st post-meds breakfast: cheesy eggs & sour cream (Heavy cream in eggs & coffee)
My problems seem pretty insignificant compared to what’s going on in the world these days, but....
Back in January, my neuro-oncologist saw a “shadow” on my MRI that concerned him. Proactively, he put me on a low…
...which is actually much worse. R. Lee Ermey was iconic and instantly recognizable to even the most casual movie-watcher. His debut role in Full Metal Jacket is film legend. He was a significant part of the most beloved animated film series of all time (Toy Story)...

#AlecBaldwin
. There are some pretty fucking gross tweets being posted - not just by everyday anonymous loons, but by verified accounts. A woman died. I don’t care if you dislike Baldwin. Have some decency, you soulless ghouls.
Maroon 5 is playing the Super Bowl halftime show. Usually the NFL chooses a musical act to attract people who don't like or care about football. Apparently this year they're choosing an act for people who don't like or care about music.

Eh. C- effort. I always retweet clever or funny insults. Yours is neither. It’s desperately thirsty. Kind of like you after waddling from your couch to the kitchen, you fat fuck.
A lot of people here have speculated that it was Ermey's politics that got him snubbed. I disagree. Burt Reynolds was a pretty notable friend of Trump and even voted for him. And he was in there. Sadly, I think it was a reflection of how the Academy viewed Ermey as an actor...
You quit listening because of me?? I talk approximately 4.5% of the time on the show. My god, how is it that the people who love to call people “snowflakes” are the biggest snowflakes of all? Sounds like someone needs a safe space...
Pro tip! When getting a medical scan, wear two gowns - one backwards (with the opening in the back) and one forward (with the opening in the front). No accidental ass-crack or crotch exposure and much warmer (they keep it chilly in those exam rooms!).
Fuck it. Drink your best champagne/wine/booze/etc tonight. You earned it. The worst year of our lifetimes is behind us. Celebrate a better year with the best you’ve got. Cheers, everyone.

Remember when we all laughed at the outrageous claims of North Korea about their supreme leader? How he shot 11 holes-in-one the first time he golfed?
Congratulations, assholes. We are now that country too.

Hey Raheem, big fan. Fantasy football is a huge, $7+ billion industry. The NFL would be much less popular without it, and you and every player would thus be much less rich without it.

If this extreme social distancing works and flattens the curve and reduces the final number of fatalities, it will have a sad side effect: It will give voice to (let’s just say it) imbeciles who cite the “low” death toll and say “See?? We shut down our economy for nothing!”
The next time a
@Patriots
fan tries to tell you the reason people hate Patriots fans is “because of the rings,” show them this: four *visable* middle fingers AND a shocker thrown in for good measure. Ironically, while sitting behind a banner promoting NE’s community service.
My god, Imagine being this fragile. If my marginally-clever and innocuous jokes (on twitter) make you stop listening to a podcast, maybe you should find a safe space away from any opinion that differs from yours.
Here's a New Year's resolution for everyone in media: When someone lies, please call it a lie. Not a "falsehood" or a "misleading statement." And for god's sake, stop infantilizing lies by grading them with "four Pinocchios." Liars benefit from not being called liars. It ends now
This is the greatest example yet of
