“As a specimen, yes I’m intimidating” may be the greatest internal rhyme ever written.

Today in the second round of the Ultimate Walt Disney Animation Studios Songs bracket, I have good news and bad news. Good: An Ashman/Menken song will win! Bad: An Ashman/Menken song will lose. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Looking forward to tonight’s screening of THE PURGE, BUT FOR FUCKING

Happy (?) “There Will Come Soft Rains” Day to everyone who knows we wouldn’t be there to celebrate it.

It’s because all the criminals are leaving New York because of the socialist mayor

Democrats@democrats.org · 2d ago

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

Salt Lake City Weekly is hiring a 25-hour Associate A&E Editor to oversee local Music & Dining sections, plus other special issues. Point interested parties my way.

If any of my colleagues out there has a PR contact for THE RIVALS OF AMZIAH KING, I'd be thrilled if you could shoot it my way. DMs are open. Thanks.

remember how Riley Gaines’ swimming coach raped a bunch of her teammates? then when her career path became TV Nazi she defended him and he claimed he was being targeted for standing up against trans women in sports? anyway she cares deeply about women and girls being safe.

I’m sorry, Sue Richards in FANTASTIC FOUR has already been cast.

Ariana Grande “will be taking a step back from visibility” after her Eternal Sunshine Tour concludes next month, a spokeswoman for the singer said on Sunday.

A good commissioner steps in now before every WNBA game becomes a rightwing performance space, like school board meetings were during peak CRT. You just have to throw the hammer down on this. Do not give them an inch.

Spider-meh Spider-meh Does whatever.

Not 100% sure it was the first, but certainly the oldest one that I held onto longest. Immersed me in superhero comics for the next 15 years.

G. Willow Wilson@gwillow.me · 3d ago

If you’re a comics fan, what’s the earliest comic book you can remember reading? And what kind of impression did it make on you?

I had a realization yesterday that The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a great allegory for Generative AI. Mickey pawns off work to an autonomous force only to have that force mindlessly use keep doing that very thing and destroy everything while using up plenty of perfectly good water in the process

My God, Bowie here behaves and questions like an *actual fucking journalist* in way that should put many contemporary “journalists” to shame.

Carl Quintanilla@carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 4d ago

As Bowie would say to Mark Goodman two years later: “.. Having watched MTV over the past few months, .. I’m just floored that by the fact that there’s so few black artists featured on it. Why IS that?”

It felt obvious to me that THE ODYSSEY is not just a new retelling of an ancient story but also a direct commentary on where we are *now* and Elliot Page’s Sinon is absolutely part of that. This terrific essay digs in 👍🏼

Actually, Nolan IS kind of making a point about trans people

And I have the (ancient) receipts

running a marathon is very hard. That’s why I’ll be driving my Subaru Outback. This is how your pro-ai argument sounds

My Shark Week is not ending well.

Mahershala Ali, Harry Styles and Brett Goldstein star as Marvel’s newest super-team, THE DEAD-END TAG SCENE CREW.

I do not recommend waking up at 2 am and spending the rest of the night/morning wondering if you have a kidney stone.

The war on trans people is tremendously evil in a multitude of ways but it's also just a clear cut case of bullying. A group of assholes picking on a tiny minority simply for existing. If the situation feels at all "complicated" to you then you've consumed too much propaganda.

This is going to make it very difficult to know which sports we should ban them from.

Some avocados are female in the morning and male in the afternoon, while others are on the opposite schedule. This helps them avoid self-pollination. How do they do it? A @ucdavis.bsky.social study explains. www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/st...

Jared Leto, damn. It's always the people you most expect.

“I had a million doses of Joker venom that my henchmen and I were prepared to pour into Gotham’s water supply. And the Bat-Man got Commissioner Gordon to stop me from doing that.”

Peter Navarro: "I had a million doses of hydroxychloroquine in warehouses as the defense policy coordinator that I was trying to distribute to hospitals. And Fauci got the FDA stop me from doing that."

If you're in the SLC area and are looking for work in sales, Salt Lake City Weekly is looking for ad sales reps. DM me and I'll point you in the right direction.

Damn, I always forget that Glen Hansard was the guitarist for The Commitments.

Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.

Horrible thing to wake up to the Glen Hansard news. ONCE was one of my favorite Sundance discoveries. Sometimes I’ll go down a rabbit hole if watching live performances of “When Your Mind’s Made Up” and seeing the audience just lose their minds *every* time when he rips into that final chorus.
