People are calling out reports that Melania had the biggest opening for a documentary in 10 yrs by pointing to the Eras Tour movie because they don't realize that concert films are classified differently than docs. But the TLOAS movie is arguably more a doc than a concert and that had a $34M open so

ME: Well, when you buy a classified ad they charge by the word
CHOTINER: But you must have known people would find it sad
ME: I mean, I knew it might help make a sale but—
CHOTINER: And to be clear the baby was not dead
ME: He just grew out of them too fast! I didn't intend—
CHOTINER: Fraud?

I just heard Christian bands that pretend not to be Christian to attract a wider audience called "bait and Switchfoot" and that may be the best pun of all time.

I do think, since this is potentially a legal matter where exact language will make a difference, that the media should be accurate about the joke. Trevor never actually said that Trump had been to Epstein's island (though listeners may have understandably inferred that)
President Trump is threatening to sue Trevor Noah over a joke at last night's Grammy Awards, saying that Noah's crack claiming he visited Jeffrey Epstein's island was "false and defamatory."

President Donald Trump called the joke, which Noah made at last night's Grammy Awards, "false and defamatory," again insisting he has never visited Jeffrey Epstein's island.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.
CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?
DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.
C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?
DR: Now look

Fun little vibe shift from Chotiner as he interviews the Melania cinematographer. Not even bothering with tough questions, just going full sarcasm and enjoying the oblivious replies. www.newyorker.com/culture/q-an...

I'm not saying they shouldn't have won before this, but it's no lifetime achievement consolation prize. This is in fact one of their finest albums.
The Cure just won Grammys for "Alone" AND "Songs Of A Lost World" and aren't there because they are attending Perry Bamonte's funeral. :( But Jesse Welles read a lovely note from Robert Smith that (among other things) thanks the Cure's fans. 🖤

Yes it generally sucks when companies force AI into everything (looking at you Gmail!) but Spotify's new prompt-generated playlists are both fun and useful. I've never been able to make an all-purpose playlist that really works for me until I could spell out this, which I set to update daily.

Well, well it looks like my decision to never see a Darren Aronofsky film for the last two decades of everyone saying "you have to see the new Darren Aronofsky film" has finally paid off

Did people in 1970 find it super cringe when Charles Schulz named this dude after a pop music story from a year earlier? Like if you dropped a character now named Brat Summer.

I believe this was said at a training but I'm skeptical that it's an argument ICE has actually made. Feels more like an urban legend.
My wife told me she heard at a training she attended that ICE has argued "ALL ARE WELCOME HERE" signs are invitations to enter private spaces and if that don't beat all I don't know what does.
