This is a great observation. When Harry Belafonte was invited to do the show, he said Jim was also very receptive to performing African music. "I proposed to him that the show might provide the occasion to take a look at the lore and history of other worlds, other places," Belafonte said. /1

Letting Walton Goggins host SNL is at least one step in the right direction towards fixing the overall cosmic vibe. Can't hurt nothin'.

In a week where I’ve had to contemplate mortality a lot more than I would have preferred, this was an especially poignant read. <adds album to queue to give a listen to>

Had a tough end of last week, so splurged on myself and got the omnibus for the full IMMORTAL HULK run. Really, really good Hulk-based horror here, with a full-on look at the deeper issues driving Banner/Hulk in a fun way.

I get that it’s not really the point, but what cut rate judge agreed to the custody decisions in The Parent Trap (1961)? Also happy birthday Hayley Mills (I am told)

Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

Just tossing out that I will happily patronize & give so much money to the first movie theater chain that collects cell phones at the door/locks them in those little gray pouches.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

As mentioned, I stay in my hometown's Community FB group to get a sense of the undercurrent in town. Sometimes, it's nice. Other times, you see some shit and think man, I'm glad I don't live there anymore.

If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

I love to read every HIAWWY review posted anywhere, whether they're "I grew up like this, and I like this book" type or "I didn't grow up like this, and I like this book" type. Just noticed we're near 500 on Goodreads. Who will claim the landmark 500th www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

Neurodivergence is not a disease and this is not an "epidemic." It is genetic. As such, "eliminating autism" is, by definition, eugenics. It's an actual crime against humanity and what RFK is suggesting here should only be reported as such. bsky.app/profile/bran...

Suing far right influencers who spread conspiracy theories about private figures to audiences full of unhinged and violent trolls is good, and more people put through these horrible ringers should do it.

Obv. the country is in a shitty place, so I'll just acknowledge that and move on to what's keeping me sane. So, having "watched" the Reds games the past three days, it is wild that the pitching is what's leading the way so far as opposed to the lineup. It's not unexpected, but it's still wild.

Reminder that Arcade Fire's Win Butler sucks. He's never really addressed the sexual misconduct allegations he was accused of and only gave a bland apology. I wrote a HUGE feature about this in 2023 for nprmusic. Sharing it again just as a reminder.

Finding a weird niche in grad school where my homework is just...writing things I want to write? so the incentive to get an A is there, but also, it's fun? I like doing my homework & assignments? Not really a surprise, but certainly welcome.
