1. Nevada has a “turnover trident”
2. A member of the band for the opposing team took it
3. And threw it at the players

i am late to this by Dan Kois but i genuinely cannot imagine how good it must feel to begin an interview with that question. i'd be levitating for a week slate.com/culture/2023/0…

The Kansas judge who OK’d a police raid on a local newsroom had:

-previously been a top county prosecutor

When counterfeit money printed for To Live and Die in LA got into circulation, William Friedkin was contacted by the Secret Service and a DA to come in for questioning, Friedkin basically told them to go fuck themselves and then immediately spent more counterfeit money lol

The last two paragraphs of William Friedkin’s memoir. He lived a long life and provided us with some of the most incredible stories ever told. A crushing loss.

there will never be another William Friedkin -- he was the definition of an iconoclast, told it like it was and was decidedly stubborn down to the bitter end

he leaves behind a career of great films, even a few bonafide masterpieces, but also a lot of perfect interviews

RIP

RIP to William Friedkin, one of the best to do it and an *incredible* interview — as seen here, when he makes sure people will see the story before he says a big fuck you to some of the studios over “Sorcerer” rights issues avclub.com/william-friedk…

best thing i've read so far about all the conference realignment stuff: the most powerful (and rich) schools + conferences are reshaping the sport and a lot of it will be fine but these schools are sanding away a lot of what makes college football great

obviously if you go to the movies and use/check your phone without going over near the lights along the steps or just stepping out of the theater you should have to pay for everyone’s tickets and be publicly shamed
