Wil Wheaton is a mensch.

Let’s check in on my friend’s fosters:

This is a worthwhile read and excellent argument. As someone roughly the same age as Wil Wheaton, I can confirm that Eddie Murphy’s Delirious was one of those stand-up routines that seeped into our culture — people I knew memorized it, word-for-word. As a result, it normalized hate towards gay people, especially with kids my age. Fortunately, we have moved to a place where such ugliness towards gay men would never be tolerated by the culture at large, but we are not in that same place when it comes to trans people. Wil Wheaton is a mensch, and Dave Chappelle should do better.

Jennifer Aniston says the emotional impact of the Friends reunion was so powerful, she had to get up and leave the set several times.

Michael Sheen says he’ll be donating all of his pay to charity, working as a non-profit actor from here on out, and Ryan Reynolds is taking a sabbatical from acting to spend more time with his kids. I’m not saying that we throw these millionaires parades or anything, but good for both of them. Let’s hope more actors follow Sheen’s example in particular.

Paramount+ is launching live channels today for people like me who sometimes can’t decide what to watch and just wants TV to wash over us.

Google and Roku have kissed and made up.

If you’ve got $3.5 million, you can live like Julia Childs. 

Important questions of our time: Do you think Cousin Greg can dunk a basketball?

Listen, it’s just my job to tell you that HBO has released an augmented reality tie-in for their new Magic Mike reality show, Finding Magic Mike. What you do with that information is not my business.

Get better soon, Pelé!

R.I.P. Love.
