Geezus christ. My dad was literally dying from cancer and they gave him Toradol for the pain. A ridiculously powerful drug.

Heroin is an opioid.

Funny, I was at the gym last weekend and the NFL games were up on the various TVs. I haven’t watched a game in a number of years, but I’m there running on the treadmill staring at the games in front of me. But I felt...nothing. Like, maybe hardly a vague “oh hey, nice grab” at most. I finished my run, and headed…

I remember watching Sizemore on “Celebrity Rehab” many years ago and thinking he was even crazier in real life than in “Heat.” His go-to move was to instigate fistfights by clicking a lit cigarette directly into his opponent’s face. He did this to Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr (R.I.P.) at least twice that season.

Growing up as a kid in the ’80s, anything longer than 1.5 hours was crazy.

Man, what a great fuckin’ read. Thanks for writing. I’d totally forgotten about that era Pink.

You think it’ll work? I mean, CA is solid blue, right? And has been for a minute.

Here’s a good, brief explainer for some context:

Dobbs is a rank amateur at anti-Semitism.

My guy.

Noah Baumbach’s “Kicking and Screaming” never gets any love. That was a good early flick of his.

True, true, true. The problem requires far too much human compassion and has too much nuance for any administration to make it a real priority. Like, what money can the government make off fixing homelessness (answer: not much, hence why nobody really tries).

Reads a bit like an excerpt from a Rick Bass book. Well done.

He doesn’t give a fuck about any of that. He just wants them off the street, away from anyone’s sight lines. He sees this as literally cleaning up the city. “Look how nice our cities are now! No more bums sleeping on the street! ALL FIXED.”

Trump doesn’t give a shit about eradicating the homelessness problem, about fixing it, about ensuring that those without food/shelter/gainful employment and/or with mental health disorders get the sort of care they need. He wants to sweep bums off the street, like you’d hire an exterminator to get rid of bugs in your…

An apt excerpt from David Foster Wallace’s “String Theory”:

“A lot of people think vaping is wonderful, it’s great. It’s really not wonderful. It’s, uh...that’s one thing I think we can say definitely, commissioner: it’s not a wonderful thing.”

The only thing worse than someone having a Sunday wedding is someone having a holiday weekend wedding.

All you gotta do is buy a house in Sambuca, Sicily, for $1. Then you take the money for your business in Molise. Bit of a commute, but I think it’s worth it.

You are doing God’s work, Roth.
