For the second time this week, we've lost a mercurial genius, a brilliant musician, a beautiful artist, who was 82. RIP Brian Wilson. https://t.co/VPfJbmZa4F

Movie Law: If someone who doesn't do a ton of cooking is preparing a special meal, there's a 74.3% chance they'll get distracted and then exclaim something like, "The lasagna!" before they burn their hands taking the ruined dish out of the oven.

Eighteen years ago today: Little Feat’s “All That You Dream” is the overlooked gem that sets the table for “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” in the brilliant series finale of “The Sopranos.” That bold and blunt ending ensured these characters would live on in our imaginations forever. https://t.co/b3x53NaQWO

It’s a Family Affair: when Sly & the Family Stone played “Everyday People” at the Harlem Cultural Festival, the lineup included Sly’s sister Rose on keyboards and vocals, and brother Freddie on guitar. I also loved Cynthia Robinson on trumpet and vocals. What a band. https://t.co/Eob4m1CqTV

The passing of the legendary Sly Stone has me thinking about the 2008 gem “Definitely, Maybe.” One of my favorite performances by ⁦@VancityReynolds⁩ — and a great use of “Everyday People” to kick start the story. 🙏🏻🎼🎬 https://t.co/y0UKDY3P3V

I would like to see a documentary about Dakota Johnson's press tours through the years.

Sly Stone was a mercurial genius whose influence still rings strong and true to this day. His music was perfectly cued up in films ranging from "Boogie Nights" to "Crooklyn" to "Dead Presidents" to "Definitely, Maybe." RIP. https://t.co/E1a86qD7r9

In the wake of Sydney Sweeney's Bathwater Bliss Soap selling out in seconds and now listed only on secondary platforms, I am hereby selling one jar of "Vanilla Sky Air I Shared with Tom Cruise." Comes with a certificate of authenticity. Serious inquiries only! https://t.co/JY7S0CKnAg

Here's your annual summer reminder that when we returned home from the playground in the 1970s, there was a 100% chance that Mom would be retrieving the Mercurochrome and Band-Aids from the medicine cabinet. https://t.co/2ecX9pbzx3

Still have my credentials from when MJ retired from the Bulls for the second time. We already knew 1997-98 was The Last Dance, but this confirmed it. https://t.co/0q8KT5Jshf

Still the greatest NBA Finals intro of all time. By the time PA announcer Ray Clay exclaimed, “From North Carolina…at guard…6-6…Michael Jordan!” it felt like the Bulls were up 10-0 before tip-off. https://t.co/cfvcuZnlSq

My @Uber Pet driver gave my pup some ear scratches before we set off for the city. Along the way, he told me, "I have two dogs: a Cocker Spaniel and a Husky. They are best friends, and I'm THEIR best friend." One. Hundred. Stars. 🐶🐕🦮🐕‍🦺

Found the perfect card for my friend’s 50th birthday party. 😎🎬 https://t.co/dQpAegLURP

Christian Bale once told me he was particularly proud of “Out of the Furnace,” and he wished more people had seen it. Couldn’t agree more. It was No. 2 on my list of the best films of 2013. https://t.co/lsU2j7GmYv
