#NowWatching Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
Every season of For All Mankind and now Star City spends its first half as a series of very good but disparate pieces before the second half proceeds to lock the fuck in on one central event which brings everything together and becomes incredible. You'd think the trick would wear off by now, but no.
never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

I honestly don't know why I keep playing Balatro when I'm so very bad at it and I never get any luck and I'm honestly not even having fun most of the time. ...boy, it sure is a good thing I don't have any harmful addictions, huh? Otherwise things'd end real bad for me.
Gorillaz - Demon Days. Or, if the fact that there's already a Plastic Beach one coming disqualifies that, the self-titled debut of The xx. I could probably also do one on Paramore's After Laughter or Ladyhawke's self-titled debut, to be honest.
Stop Calling Me Frank@stopcallingmefrank.bsky.social · 5d agoYou have a month to write a 33 1/3 book about the album of your choice. Which record are you going to write about?

more THE ODYSSEY discourse: I wrote about lupita nyong'o's dual roles, how exquisitely she builds two distinct women clamoring for agency, and how her characters clarify wife-guy christopher nolan's concerns about violence against women. @vulture: www.vulture.com/article/the-...
Yes, the Problems are bad, but this is no time for radical things like Solutions
This is one of the best pop songs of the year so far. youtu.be/1kGdXPzP3kk

Finally started Life is Strange: True Colors, within the first 20 minutes they've needle-dropped "Scott Street" by Phoebe Bridgers and, I'm sorry to say, I am indeed still that easy to get.
Just a reminder, Johnny Depp lost in court about being a domestic spouse abuser...he won in court that his abused ex-wife can't talk about it.
That was a scary 120 hours of uncertainty... not that I was ever worried, of course...
Pop Crave@popcrave.com · 2w ago‘Interview With The Vampire’ has officially been renewed for season 4, titled ‘Queen of the Damned.’
Both The Strokes and Charli XCX have dropped pretty big disappointments today, so please conduct a wellness check on all your muso friends. They'll appreciate it.
I would like to thank @graham.loadingreadyrun.com for putting Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee on my radar from Desert Bus last year, cos I'm finally watching the latest season and it could not be more My Shit if somebody grew it in a lab.
I'm sorry if this offends anyone but when they ask "Is Pepsi okay?" no, no it is never okay.
Once you see that every Disney movie is shot in the Volume, you can’t unsee it. Every set is round
Apart from Blair, I can't think of a Labour leader who has done more than Starmer to create division and polarisation. Pandering to Reform on immigration, complicity in genocide, attacks on the right to protest ... Now he presents himself as a great healer. His speech was not "moving" but sickening.
...why must I now wait (most likely) at least 18 months for more?! It's not fair! #TheVampireLestat
