This is a weekly (sometimes) list of people I am mad at. This is the list for October 24, 2025.
I resent runners who eat Nerds Gummy Clusters on their routes. That is a food for depressed people and depressed people are not running marathons like that. My culture is not your costume, go back to your GELS.
My dad confused Domantas Sabonis for Travis Kelce.
Then he tried to remember the word “lobster” but the best he came up with was “cantaloupe.” That, somehow, was my fault.
Ben Affleck. LEAVE. HER. ALONE!!!!!!!!!
Feeling plenty of despair and anguish lately, but have I gotten a matching tattoo with Ne-Yo? No? Doing fine, then.
Not entirely looking forward to this season’s rash of deportation-related Law & Order episodes.
Sinners was great but Michael B. Jordan’s hands look like hospital gloves full of ground meat and that’s really been haunting me this spooky season.
I don’t really know why Will Arnett is doing ads for RBC but it does feel like RBC is the Will Arnett of Canadian banks. (Scotiabank is Jason Bateman and you all immediately know I’m right.)
Last summer I went on a date with a guy who, when I told him I moved stateside from Canada, nodded and said, “Well, yeah, you guys don’t have any good TV up there.” It’s so painful to be seen as an entire nation with such clarity by a near-stranger.
An Uber driver asked me if I knew how to start a podcast. I told him no.
It’s been a while! I decided to take most of the summer off from posting; I was feeling a little uninspired even in my own commercialized irritation. But lately I’ve noticed my will to hate stuff again, and that’s been really encouraging.
Okay, so, what have you missed. For Slate, I went to Katy Perry’s Oklahoma City show and wrote about why we all turned on her. I did a big deep-dive into Leonardo DiCaprio’s irreplicable type of celebrity. I also wrote about the “Who, Me?” Guy, a scourge in our crumbling society. Sucker Punch remains available for your grubby little hands, and some helpful post-divorce dating advice from me and others in Sex Happens.
As for podcasts, the one I made with Audible and Best Case Studios about Ozempic, THE THIN LINE, won Silver at the Signal Awards. Meanwhile, our grand scam artist oeuvre, SCAMFLUENCERS, took home Gold. Feeling rich!
The World Series starts tonight. Go Jays.
