I hope somebody on "The Big Picture" gets an editing award for the abrupt, but seamless, transition between Sean Fennesy talking about the sincerity of "Anora"'s director and an ad for a new Audi (voiced by Fennesy). 10/10. No notes.

"Maybe I left off some movies you really adored. That only strengthens my argument: We don’t need the Oscars to remind us that so many gems don’t fit their narrow definition of “best.”" @timgrierson.bsky.social salutes ten films that weren't nominated at the Academy Awards this year

Reading Julia Elliot's short story collection "The Wilds" and if this story isn't adapted for the next season of "The White Lotus" (maybe with a "Black Mirror" crossover) it will be a wasted opportunity. conjunctions.com/articles/jul...

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money. At least this is the first album I bought that was new at the time - on cassette no less.

In September 1895, the original FA Cup was stolen from a shop window in Birmingham. Holders Aston Villa were fined for their part in its 'lack of care'. 63 years later, a pensioner (Harry Burge) made an astonishing claim in the press. The trophy was never found... 23/2/1958 #OnThisDay #FACup #avfc

"This is even more unconstitutional than usual." This is where we are now. FWIW, I've never understood the GOP hate for the Post Office given, as Corey points out, it's explicit mention in Article I. A postal system is one of those basic government things.

Christian pseudohistorian Tim Barton (son of David Barton) says Ten Commandments posters should go up in classrooms because we "arrest students that break" them. This will be a shock to anyone who knows all the Commandments. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/tim-barton...

Chancellor Crystal Hines Martin of Hinds County, Mississippi has issued a prior restraint order so ludicrously unconstitutional it’s only consistent with deliberate misconduct or abject ignorance of the relevant law. Disgraceful and lawless. /1

RIP to Jamie Muir, the wild-eyed percussionist who did one album with King Crimson, then left to join a Scottish Buddhist monastery! Fun fact, it was Muir who introduced Jon Anderson to "Autobiography of a Yogi," a footnote of which spawned "Tales from Topographic Oceans." youtu.be/WhudDa3JAyc?...

I suppose it was intentional irony for the SNL50 show to follow up the very self aware "In Memoriam" for stuff that hasn't aged well with a skit based around prison rape. At least I hope it was.
