Is Tom Brady Really Going to Torture Us with His Stand-Up Comedy?

Orly Minazad
Orly Minazad is a freelance writer and regrets it every day of her life. She moved to the States from Iran in 1991 with her family seeking better opportunities only to waste them earning a Masters in Professional Writing degree from USC which no longer exists, cost a lot of money, and for which she has nothing to show. No, she is not bitter at all. Why do you ask? Oh, you didn’t, ok. She lives with her husband and son in Los Angeles where she spends the day loading and unloading the dishwasher.

Hello from Los Angeles, where we will never stop talking about this one time it snowed here. Ever.

Happy Jeni’s Ted Lasso Biscuits with the Boss ice cream to anyone who celebrates. Available starting today! (Kitchn)

This web-based remote kissing device is a gateway to a lot of other more intimate things. I’m guessing. (CNN)

I really hope as a nation we can finally stop with these horrible food takes (that I can’t stop sharing here).

Chris Pine claims Harry Styles never spat on him, which is a clear lie and also a million years too late. Everyone’s over it. (The Hollywood Reporter)

Michael B. Jordan gets his Hollywood Walk of Fame Star. In honor of that, here’s my favorite tweet about him. (ET)

Knowing the location of your birth certificate is the ultimate sign of responsibility.

As someone who’s recently been to Chile and whose name is Orly, I’m offended Pedro Pascal did not include the Orly Chocolate bars they sell in the middle of the streets. Granted, they’re not good. But that didn’t stop me from giving them to my very disappointed family and friends as souvenirs. (Pajiba)

Absolutely disgusting. Chocolate and fruit don’t go together.

Of all the spinoff ideas, I did not expect a Stranger Things live performance in London’s West End, but here we are. Stranger Things: The First Shadow is going on stage late 2023. (Nerdist)

Be honest, am I cool enough to wear these Nintendo Super Mario Bros inspired Nike Dunk Lows designed by Andrew Chiou? (My Modern Met)

This is an example of using Twitter for good.

What I learned from this article about British musicians rejecting invitations to perform at Charles’s coronation celebration is that there’s an event called Chubbly and one called Jubbly. (Celebitchy)

OK, I’m sorry, but this woman is too funny for me to stop posting these disgusting foods.

We here at The Antagonist keep it real, so here’s a depressing article about how Everything You Need Costs More. (The Antagonist)

I don’t know the origins of most Tik Tok trends (because I barely know Tik Tok trends). Here’s one about hot white girls hijacking a clip from a poem by a Black woman.

I am very disappointed to report Tom Brady will not be pursuing a career in stand-up comedy so we can all bask in his inevitable failure, but he is in talks to be roasted on Comedy Central. (TMZ)

Who would have thought the guy who collects Nazi memorabilia would be responsible for pipe bombings. Never saw that coming, amirite? (Vice)

I didn’t know this erotic song “In Your Wildest Dreams” with Tina Turner and Barry White existed, let alone had an erotic stop motion music video. (Boing Boing)

This three-year cruise is my literal nightmare. Not sure why it’s advertised as the answer to everyone’s prayers. (Thrillist)

I finally got to the bottom of The Weeknd and Rolling Stone drama and I honestly can’t tell if it’s something I care about. (Rolling Stone)

The Weeknd is not the only one beefing with Rolling Stone. Chaka Khan is also mad because they put her behind Adele, Mariah Carey, and longtime nemesis Mary J. Blige. (LA Magazine)

“Funko’s warehouses are overflowing with five inch chibi replicas of Machine Gun Kelly, Spider-Man, Pikachu, and every other vaguely famous cultural icon, and throwing them out will be cheaper than trying to sell them.” So over $30 million worth is going to the landfill. (Kotaku)

Compton Art and History Museum just opened in LA and was co-founded by Abigail Lopez Byrd and her husband Marquell Byrd. I’d sit through traffic to see this. (Hyperallergic)

Have I mentioned yet it snowed in LA?

Jo Koy made a lot of bad jokes at the Golden Globes. His dig at Taylor Swift got the most attention and I’m glad TayTay iced him for it.
