I love movies and music in equal parts. I love foods of all kinds but have no desire to learn how to cook. I write infrequently about those things at buttondown.com/Better-Endings/archive/. Cool if you read it, fine if you don't - I totally get it.

When you believe in personal liberties so much you order everyone to write about them.

Google obliterated their search function for this

Writers need these people in our lives. We really do. People who use their platforms to champion us and encourage us, sponsor us and believe in us. Who invite us in, keep us close, even when it’s not cool anymore because we have nothing but our dreams and the work born of those dreams to offer them.

If you haven’t seen In & Of Itself, and don’t have Hulu, you can watch it here: youtu.be/OR4NNuNE3Yg?...

RIP Lynne Stewart, the most beautiful woman in Puppetland 💔

I watched Gladiator 2. 📽️ It was shit. #Filmsky

With Amazon having completed its taking control of Bond from the Broccoli/Wilson estate, EON should retroactively retitle the last movie to "No Better Time To Die".

James is going to appear in the Jack Ryan movie asking a bartender for his vodka martini to be shaken, not stirred in the post credits.

"The U.S. air travel system is inadequately equipped for the millions of visitors expected for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics....pointed to aging infrastructure, sluggish visa processing times and outdated security technology as the main obstacles." www.espn.com/olympics/sto...

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

This is the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time.

Percussion players: capable of playing highly complex rhythms Orchestral percussion parts:

The AMC A-List subscription is being updated this May for the first time since it launched in 2018. Reading the email, I was waiting for the part about a potential price hike, and I had to chuckle when I saw it. (Admittedly, other tiers were more affected, but still, this is pretty funny.)

I've secured tickets to an Early Access Fan Event showing (on my birthday, no less!) of the new Paddington movie, Paddington in Peru. Maybe this will fix everything? (If you haven't seen either of the other Paddington movies, you're really missing out and should do so as time permits.)

Been trying to figure out why Trump has such animosity to Canada and I'm afraid it's just the CBC airing the shorter cut of HOME ALONE 2 that one time

New SHINY THINGS just dropped, in which I review the remarkably entertaining SMILE 2 and the 25th anniversary release of THE CELL. SMILE 2 is funnier.

The Detroit rock club canceled a concert mid-performance after it realized the bands were affiliated with white supremacy.

One of my favorite things in this movie is how much the dad loves the idea of moving to Houston.

Anyway I was right about CONCLAVE doing well at the Oscars and WE LIVE IN TIME missing out. If you missed it yesterday ...

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

A reason to try and live until late 2026.

He really did have a great head of hair.

Quick @jamellebouie.net, now skeet about the Panasonic DP-UB820 so that it will also drop in price in a couple of days.

This is how I learned that Crazy Taxi, a game I have played for countless hours across several platforms over more than two decades, has an unlockable pedicab

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees fans who interfered with Mookie Betts during the World Series have been banned from all MLB games.

The detail on these hyperrealistic pencil drawings is next-level! Even zooming in on the threads in this drawing of a bolt is indistinguishable from a macro photo. (That drawing took 280 hours…almost 12 full days!) [kottke.org]

For everyone affected by the CA fires…
