$77,509 - that's how much student debt I had until I wiped it away last week by winning @truTV's PAID OFF. The experience was surreal, not least because I benefitted from a show whose existence was born out of the student loan debt crisis. And make no mistake, it is a crisis. /1
MAD MEN is the #1 show of the century, probably all-time. Unparalleled depth, performances, themes, emotions; the best drama that is also somehow the best comedy. I know this; you know this; your mom knows this. We don't have to be babies who pretend otherwise.
Honestly one of the most satisfying MAD MEN bits was just Pete being consistently woke throughout the series, even as he was contemptible in so many other areas of his life.
Not to mention the fact that "Because Lassie stays at the Waldorf, and they can't" is such a great line.

Per a note to Boston Globe staff today, the lesbian bar story generated 1,000 subscriptions to the paper yesterday. The Globe’s managing editor said it was “by far our best performing story of the year,” and appears to be “on pace to shatter all sorts of Globe records.”
Digger is definitively a movie of the year. Alejandro Innaritu has crafted another linear story in the 2-hour range. Tom Cruise IS Digger. The visual effects are visual. Make sure you stick around for the post credit scene.
One thing I will say about the new Resident Evil is that it is refreshing to have a studio movie that takes place entirely at night where the filmmakers are willing to say, “what if we decided to light this in a way so that it doesn’t look like murky sludge”
"They take this prior style, these previous characters and that old idea, stuff them in a blender, pour out the goop, and deliver it with a demand for praise."

the opening paragraph of the intro of zach baron’s interview with tom cruise is so fucking smooth and good and well-constructed
what a great great writer he is
“Parents don’t tell their kids, “This is what you should create.” Kids tell their parents, “Watch this!” And they do it with pride. However nonsensical, their imaginations are badges of honor.”

There has to be a better way to advertise your exploitative and disgusting gambling company than telling people to fondle someone, on second thought maybe not.
