I like Katie Nolan's solution to improving First Take/ESPN hot takes, from this Sunday: https://youtu.be/EblxxdCi_k…

does he have a side-career as an emoji

Exactly. They showed a ton of ads for this during the NBA Finals and they were all emphasizing the LeBron aspect, for good reason.

As a Taylor Swift-ologist, I am disappointed by the lack of The Story of Us.

I've seen it and it's an absolutely incredible film (as is The Act of Killing). Firmly deserves the A.

I miss Treme so much.

He's also in an episode of Phineas and Ferb! He's quite good.

"my genocide got me a new alpha romeo"

well played.

Turlough.

Yep. Aden Young and Spencer have been doing the rounds on a number of websites and the one thing that comes through is that they really love and appreciate the show and the dialogue. It's pretty exciting, since Rectify really is that good, and everyone on it is basically fantastic.

Yeah, this is pretty much true.

Vidya Balan is an absolutely fabulous actress, when given the right role. Here, Paa, Ishkiqa, Kahaani - she nails it harder roles and raises up the easier ones.

The fact that I'm the only person exalting the recently-concluded fabulous season of Call The Midwife continually makes me sad.

Kyle Daly, you are my spirit animal.

"in what should be Canada's first real test"

My bigger takeaway from that second half is how much Norway faded: yeah, the English attack was much more coherent with Jill Scott in the fold, but it seemed that a lot of it was the ridiculous heat/turf heat and Norway's (out of Ada Hegerberg anyway) inability to get going again.

"I have a question though: if they are in their early 30's, wouldn't Kala be considered "too old" to be single still?" Yes (one of my cousins is 33 and has been in that bucket socially for years) and I think this informs a lot of the importance of the marriage to both families.

Great picture choice.
