I haven’t, but I heard great things about CM in it.

That was an amazing match. When Fed broke to go up 5-4 in the third, I thought it was over. But just like when La La Land “won” the Oscar, something told me, “Keep watching. There’s a twist ahead.” Thank heavens I did. Thrilled for this guy! Absolutely thrilled at his guts and belief. Lame that ESPN didn’t air the trophy ceremony unless I missed something. Interesting stat:

DELPO DID IT!!!

Osaka’s prize for winning Indian Wells? Serena in the first round of Miami.

OSAKA!

Just a random aside: I didn’t realize Delpo and Nick Kyrgios have never played an ATP match. I know Delpo was injured during much of Nick’s rise (and somehow Nick had never played Novak until last year), but that’s a match I’d like to see.

I just find her career trajectory fascinating. It’d be like Miley Cyrus or Britney Spears taking a detour through an admittedly somewhat campy sci-fi/fantasy series and somehow ending up as a young Colleen Dewhurst within a few years.

Billie Piper is making her NYC theater debut and the Times interviews her about going from pop star to DW to becoming one of Britain’s most respected stage actresses.

Chadwick Boseman (AMC) is hosting SNL April 7 with Cardi B as musical guest.

Maybe someone with more knowledge of the inner workings of SNL can explain, but why are Mikey Day and Alex Moffat still featured players when they appear in more sketches than many of the main cast?

John Goodman is on SNL as Rex Tillerson right now.

I get you. He was totally arrogant to think he’d slide with those comments.

Should he have? I suppose for his own career and legacy’s sakes, but I think it’s good to know these things. Let all these MFs out themselves.

NBC has already renewed it for a THIRD (or 11th) season. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/will-grace-renewed-season-3-is-it-11-1087240

The tea is exceptionally good today ☕️

It’s funny. When I was a kid they were thought to be so unbelievably cheeseball, but they were amazing. My fave:

I can’t stand the Bryans either so I gave that match a miss.

That, Soundgarden’s Superunknown, Hole’s Live Through This, and Green Day’s Dookie were my entire middle school experience. You know, I’d never really gotten into Talk Talk even though I’m an Anglophile and love ‘80 music. I only knew them because of “It’s My Life,” which No Doubt covered. But a friend turned me on to their other stuff, and I’m obsessed.

Just imagine them saying that about Marion Bartoli. They’d be fired. When you play Federer, you play him *and* his fans. I can understand how it can be intimidating. The younger generation of tennis players is still in awe of him, whereas Nadal, Murray, and Djokovic saw beating him as a challenge they tirelessly pursued. And Djokovic especially used the crowd’s dislike as fuel.

I know Twitter has changed its Trending Topics algorithm, but I feel like a year ago that Fed/Coric match would have trended, even with March Madness going on. Did it for anyone else? I feel like interest in the game is flagging. EDIT: Never mind. Federer is trending for me now.

Man. Well, the serve clearly isn’t bailing him out today. C’mon Delpo. Win this tournament for the good of tennis.

Ha. I decided to go to gym instead of watching this, but I see the score. What did they say?

Ha. In any case, that was going to tough for him.

He made the final in 2014. That was a tough one because Cilic was just in the zone.

And it’s a shame because the talent *was* there.
