The Celtics’ Jordan Walsh has alopecia. He’s spoken about it. It is an autoimmune disease. Kids get it too. In 2022, Rio Allred killed herself after being bullied. She was 12.
This staff writer for Jezebel blocked me when I called her out for this. If you know her, tell her to Google Rio’s name.

Trump doesn't think about what he says because he doesn't care what we hear. He just wants people to pay attention to him.

What musicians or pop stars who moved into acting impressed you the most? Even if you don't rate their music, did you find appreciation for their acting instead?
The obvious pick is surely Will Smith?

Also, I get why the networks caved and agreed to air a clearly political speech not related to breaking news: They're scared, it's his first year back, and it's not worth the blowback. But the same networks refused to run Biden's Democracy speech and Obama speeches on health care + immigration.
In case you missed it, Trump's speech tomorrow will interrupt the finales of SURVIVOR and THE FLOOR for people in the Eastern and Central time zones. He could've easily started the speech at 8, and I'm sure the networks suggested that to the WH. The WH didn't care; viewers of both shows will suffer.

Weird. Who could have possibly expected that? I was told Charlie Kirk was the singularly most notable political figure in American history and maybe even a prophet.

Friends, Wicked: For Good is the perfect movie for right now. It’s sweet, romantic, free of sarcasm, kind to misfits, and it’s hopeful. I wasn’t a fan of the first one. But this one genuinely lifted my spirits, and I hope the same for you if you go.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

As a unique reminder for my fellow chronically ill friends out there: don't forget to take your medication in times of tragedy and trauma.
I wondered why I was feeling a lot more pain than usual and it's because I'd forgotten to take any of my medication this morning.

People are posting about their favorite Rob Reiner films and trivia about his movies already while I’m still much too horrified to be thinking “filmsky” stuff. Right now, I can’t process gifs of Wesley and Buttercup or Spinal Tap quotes. Way too soon.
