Today's Song You Should KnowA lot of people have covered the Velvet Underground's "Waiting For My Man," but I'm especially fond of this version from French actress/singer/Johnny Depp ex Vanessa Paradis www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FJQ...

Another newsletter that covers a lot of ground toomuchtv.beehiiv.com/p/too-much-t...
Too Much TV: This Year's 'Shark Week' Feels More Like Digital ChumAnd a conversation with PBS Chief Digital and Marketing Officer Ira Rubensteintoomuchtv.beehiiv.comIf it matters, I apparently annoyed a well-known agent type enough this week that I think he would happily punch me. Or at least, have one of his assistants do it for him
Sam AdamsThe problem is the poisonous morons have largely been drummed out of the profession and it is hard to find someone worth a proper punch in the nose
I was assured that July would be a slow news month in Hollywood toomuchtv.beehiiv.com/p/exclusive-...
Exclusive: Inside CBS News, Staffers Share Horror Stories About Direction Of '60 Minutes'And following months of rumors, HFPA has sued Jay Penske and Penske Media.toomuchtv.beehiiv.comI think this is a very astute take on Beyonce's reputation. And it's also combined with her determination to be as much a brand as an artist. Everything so carefully cultivated that it might as well be AI. Which sucks, because she is supremely talented.
Tressie McMillan CottomI wouldn’t be surprised if it made Nolan’s week. She took him seriously, which is the real capital. Fans never get that. It’s also why Beyonce can’t achieve the canonization she so desperately craves — her fans shielding her from precisely the kind of criticism that would elevate her work.
If she did this on a plane I was on, I would stand up and start offering the counterpoint that drinking and lots of great sex is the road to salvation.
Hemant MehtaEvangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

After having a six-month long battle with Paypal over funds they refused to turn over, I have less than zero interest in doing any sort of financial business with another Elon Musk company
Karen K. HoI stand by everything I said previously. At least with a major bank I know there is oversight, deposit insurance, and regulation for things like anti-money laundering.

Too Much TV: Another Reminder That ‘Hollywood’ Doesn’t Represent All Of TelevisionPlus, I take a look at the SF Bay PBS television station KQEDtoomuchtv.beehiiv.comMy favorite "Mrs Columbo" story came from someone who wrote on the show, which was later called "Kate Lives A Mystery." The experience of working with Kate Mulgrew was apparently so horrible, the writers got shirts that said "Kate Loves Us Miserable" after the show was canceled.
Alan SepinwallIn this week’s @tvisgoodpod.bsky.social episode, we succumb to spinoff madness, with talk about Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, and Mrs. Columbo. Plus, bonus Vampire Lestat finale spoiler talk. Watch on YouTube:

Run the dishwasher twice."
LeiracalThis concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.
