I’m dreading the discourse that will follow the release of that Tom Brady book because, if anything, we as a people have way less of a grip than we did four years ago. “Is a marriage worth sacrificing for football greatness?” will be a wild ride of a debate on Bluesky, I’m sure. (LaineyGossip)
First, Roxanna suggested that maybe Ryan Murphy should stop making Monster, and now there’s a suggestion that he should stop making horror, too. Maybe it’s time for him to take a nap. God knows I’ve had my fill. (Vulture)
Kind thoughts and well-wishes for the family of Dennis Haskins (who many know as Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell), who has passed away at the age of 75. (EW)
Nicki Minaj, a musician involved in politics, is doing her lap-dog act on Fox News, saying musicians shouldn’t be involved in politics. FYI, she is not an American citizen and cannot vote in the upcoming elections she’s stumping for. (Jezebel)
What do you think Cheryl Hines’s “Exciting Announcement” at the MAHA Summit will be? Maybe it’s that she’s been declared the First Lady of Snake Oil. (Wonkette)
ABC News correspondent Will Reeve, son of the late Christopher Reeve, has been diagnosed with testicular cancer. Send thoughts and well-wishes his way, too. (Just Jared)
Welp, now there’s an AI-generated episode of Doctor Who and it’s allegedly “pretty good.” I pulled something rolling my eyes. (Deadline)
Kayleigh makes the case that Robert Pattinson is the new Nic Cage. (A.V. Club)
Seth Meyers wants to stick around as a late-night host a little longer. It must feel a little precarious right now in a post-Colbert landscape. (LateNighter)
I love those monocultural moments where it feels like just about everyone agrees something sucks, and there’s nothing more deserving of this fate than Mr. Beast’s “book” he “wrote” with James Patterson. (Unwinnable)
And speaking of books, fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 might be interested to know there’s a novel about Astarion on the way! Writing it changed the author’s relationship to the game.

From Lainey: Just buffoons. I mean… godDAMN, the buffoonery.
Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order.

Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

When CoffeeShopReader needed a book to fill the “You” category on the CBR18 Book Bingo Reading Challenge card, it felt natural to choose the vegan Mexican cookbook, Comida Casera by Dora Ramírez. “Strawberry tamales actually sound really good, both the masa (involving chopped fruit) and the filling (basically, jam).” Do you have a favorite dish that you are willing to spend a lot of time making?
