Trying to imagine what circumstances could excuse this twee parent couple creating a scavenger hunt for their three children at this friday night borderline overwhelmed foot cart pod. Probably some kind of Good Son scenario.

Omar El Akkad's "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" began as a quote tweet about a video showing a bombed city street in Gaza. But the urgent new work that grew from that idea isn't actually about Gaza; it's about the West.

Like many, I thought that The Monkey was just another Stephen King short story adaption, but @sinacolad.bsky.social points out its from the director of Longlegs, and where that film "gapes in horror at the meaninglessness of death, The Monkey gets a belly laugh out of the meaninglessness of life."

August is becoming the worst time of year to watch music outside, but the one weird trick of Pioneer Square is that the Ritz-Carlton blocks the afternoon sun, so it usually feels pretty good there. Get your clear backpack, babe; these shows go on sale Friday.
