There's a lot of stuff that gets called "Trunk or Treat" but I feel like it's become kind of an umbrella term for "pseudo-Halloween in one location"

The only thing Trunk or Treating is a sign of is the massive growth of Big Halloween

I used to believe this, but after I had kids I discovered that nobody I know actually uses Trunk or Treating as a substitute for trick or treating. The median child now wears her Halloween costume approximately 75% of the time between October 14 and October 31

A lot of accounts are too big and receive too much engagement to provide customized content for individual followers, but I think the human touch is important

Big-City Mayor Reacts To "In The Air Tonight" By Phil Collins

It's beside the point, but even people who like Cheesecake Factory know it looks ridiculous. That's built in to the identity of the Cheesecake Factory. It's like getting mad at somebody for saying Sonic the Hedgehog has a bit of a tude

It's crazy to me that Zion Williamson's weird finishes around the basket—the layups at a hundred miles an hour, the push shots—mostly still work after he lost his powers. I assumed that was all tied to being able to jump 20 feet in the air

It's wrong of me to believe that the best George Harrison song is "Handle With Care," but it's a free country.

"Prolific" is a word I didn't really expect us to lose the formula for, but I see this a lot now. In the long run all words eventually mean "really good" or "really bad"

Listen I just struggle to accept that he's truly sorry for what he did if he goes right back on TV afterward

Somebody got pissed off and wrote this paragraph into Jimmy Clausen's Wikipedia page 19 years ago, when he was a future superstar, and it's still on there now that nobody cares about him. Fossilized hate

I will never completely recover from having to know who Madison Cawthorn was. A representative from North Carolina born in 1995?? I've never even been there! Shouldn't you be making a law or something

Congrats to these two senators I have never heard of. I'm sure I would not vote for either one of you, but this is how it's supposed to be when I don't live in your state: I should see one photo of you (wearing a suit) when you die or retire and that's it

I think it's like 95% a "this is ours and you shouldn't be allowed to do it" reverse-woke thing. Which is why A Wrinkle in Time should have been made by a director who attends a completely packed lib-but-anticommunist mainline church in 1961

I know it's tough out there for newspapers—and I also know which newspaper this is—but that's enough man

A lot of takes flow from not being able to just enjoy or miss something for its own sake. I do not believe the continued production of mass-market paperbacks would have saved us from vertical video platforms, I just think they're neat

Three terrible hangs and Jane Austen... I would have her wait in the car while I stole a bunch of oral steroids from the hospital. Raking them into a bag until my guy at Barnes & Noble texts me that Sanditon is finished

This might be the only thing I disagree with Weird Al about, but "Money for Nothing / Beverly Hillbillies" is a much cooler title than "Beverly Hillbillies." The lawyers were right

Our experience was that it's hard until the newborn starts to laugh, then the toddler is totally cool with having a tiny audience that erupts at all her jokes and can't leave the room. So you're white-knuckling it for about three months
