Remember 35 years ago when Clinton cursed us with Carville and Stephanopoulos?

Now I’m glad I walked out of her boring Bob Dylan cover show.

I wish I loved anything as much as YouTube loves trying to make me like Khruangbin. If there's a psy-op in music right now it's Khruangbin. Please, please leave me alone, Khruangbin.

If I'm not mistaken, today's the day TIFF announces the good movies.

A top 5 screening of my life was Tsai Ming-liang introducing The Wild, Wild Rose and then hanging out and talking about his childhood love of Hong Kong musicals for nearly an hour.

A dozen ideas immediately came to mind, so I'll go with a personal favorite that might go overlooked. Sailin' Shoes (1972), Dixie Chicken (1973), and Feats Don't Fail Me Now (1974). Little Feat's run from 1971-1978 hasn't been matched by many.

Landscape Suicide is on Tubi.

I mean, I guess I could get a ticket to see Rush in Atlanta.

Joanna likes the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies so we saw the new one last night. Fwiw, it's more thematically rich, and a lot more fun, than The Odyssey.

Did y'all know Glen A. Larson (Buck Rogers, Knight Rider, Battlestar Galactica) created a series called Half Nelson (1985) starring this zany duo?

Meanwhile.

Because you're all dying to know, my take on the Emily Wilson discourse is that listening to an interview in which she describes so vividly and enthusiastically what the poem is and what the film might have been helped explain my frustrations with Nolan's one-note interpretation.

This is an interesting way to measure how much cultural capital a song has maintained 36-46 years after hitting number 1. I'm happy to report Paula Abdul has been memory-holed. Aside from Madonna and Janet Jackson, has there ever been a worse three-year run of pop music than 1987-89?

"If this feels like science fiction, that's because it *was* science fiction until Tuesday." - @caseynewton.bsky.social Seems like a pretty big deal that two of OpenAI's models escaped a sandbox and committed crimes--autonomously and against the expressed commands of the models' engineers.

OpenAI cyber models broke out of training environment to hack Hugging FaceThe incident is unique because it was "driven, end to end, by an autonomous AI agent system," according to Hugging Face.www.cnbc.com

I can't quite wrap my brain around Mamdani, a politician who shares my politics, is genuinely eager to improve the lives of his constituents, and has the skillset to make it happen. Wild.

Susanna just posted a new live recording of "Love Will Tear Us Apart," a song she's been covering for twenty years. If you've never heard her version ... it's such a gut punch.

Does Gen Z know about Dark City?

Tubi commercials keep gettin crazier and crazier

Have you watched Dark City recently? Rad movie. CGI might’ve peaked in 1998.
