This seems like a natural fit? They're already The Store You Go To for Arrow and Criterion releases, A24 has a pretty solidly defined brand now.

I hope there's an editor's note informing readers that Amazon sells tons of paper towels
At this point, the Washpost edit page is just trolling its readers.
This is today's actual house editorial.

Awful bold of Jennifer Garner to say "You probably know me from my other job" in a Capital One commercial. Ma'am that IS your job now.

Ken Burns' Gaming
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

My Logitech order is gonna show up at my old apartment tomorrow via fedex. Gonna write them a letter asking them to text me if a package showed up that wasn't for them. This is a good plan.

look, I don't need you to explain anything to me about Brett Ratner. But Rush Hour 2 fuckin hits.
A person directly familiar with the conversations tells Semafor that Donald Trump has personally pressed Larry Ellison to revive Brett Ratner's "Rush Hour" franchise.

ok ok ok "leading US university" hang on now
This is spot-on.
The UVA "deal" might be the worst/most dangerous (so far). With the help of UVA's leadership, Trump coerced a leading U.S. university to foreswear all efforts (including 100% lawful measures) to achieve diversity.
A betrayal of our values.
