I endorse this take.
Apple TV is home to “Severance” and “Ted Lasso.” But our critic thinks this underrated program is the streaming site’s best offering by a mile. newyorker.com/culture/on-tel…

Charlize Theron completely destroys Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns
She leans in and whispers:“My thighs are so sweaty right now… it’s dripping all the way down to the back of my knees.
The only thing that could cool me off is to jump naked into a pool.”Zach: “Are you asking me to go with you?”Charlize:
“The image of me and you… me naked in a pool with a fat garden gnome.”Zach’s final line:
“I hope your dog dies.”
“I just pissed myself.”

"John Wick 3" and "Billions" star Asia Kate Dillon says acting jobs have "all but diminished” after 11 years in the industry, so they are now seeking customer service work.
"I love customer service. I love creating welcoming environments for people to relax in and connect with each other. I love food and drink. I am passionate and curious, and a great teammate. I imagine the hurdle to reentry will be learning the new POS systems, but I’m a quick study. I’m available for part time, night and weekend work."

Nathan Fielder spent over a decade preparing for the Holmes doc, including that time he rigged a blood test with a fart machine to show that people had more fun (eg. higher dopamine levels) when hanging around him.

“In busy times there is also a temptation to let investments such as training take a back seat to getting the work out the door. Only adherence to the firm's principles and values prevents opportunistic behavior that may have short-term benefits but long-term adverse consequences.” - David H. Maister
Wait… is Rump just doing a poor Rodney impression?
The great Norm Macdonald (d. 2021) would have turned 67 today. A true comedian's comedian.
Macdonald never hid his admiration for the legendary Rodney Dangerfield, whom he called his comedy idol. In a 2011 interview, he fondly recalled Dangerfield's 1996 Weekend Update cameo on Saturday Night Live, describing it as one of the highlights of his time on the show. For Macdonald, sharing the desk with his hero was a dream come true.
