Tron Ares' aesthetic is reminiscent of Anthony Scott Burns' fan film. That's cool.

Feels like we’re not far away from The Midnight collaborating with Charli or Taylor.

A man who witnessed the Lincoln assassination lived until 1956 and could have theoretically listened to the first album by Harry Belafonte, who in turn lived long enough to hear "WAP"

I hear ya. Blink is definitely the superior band (especially because of his joining before Enema).

But the album is bad!

Look, I appreciate this. TV needs more of this. Let’s have fun again. Seriously things are so bad in the industry and everywhere. Let’s all turn on stuff at night together and go “that was insane” and then surprise there are 20 more episodes and the characters don’t remember being in orbit.

So, theoretically… What happens if a governor in say Illinois or Oregon, calls up their National Guard, to keep the Texas National Guard from operating in their state?

Greg Abbott authorizes Trump to deploy Texas National Guard to other states

Shortly after the governors’ dueling posts on X Sunday night, a federal judge temporarily blocked the deployment of any state national guards to Oregon.

Full disclosure: I had a fully written review of The Midnight's new album, Syndicate, in the can for a while, but I ended up throwing it and am starting over. If you're wondering why I haven't published anything yet.

“All of this feels ridiculous because that’s exactly what it is. But the larger goal is to inure you to the strangeness of it all so that when these products — be they movies, shows, or TikToks — finally come to market, your reaction is ‘Sure, why not?’”

Great story. Can't overstate the desperation in creative industries right now. Nearly every person I know who previously had a viable, or even lucrative, career in media/entertainment is in a financial panic, leaving longtime apartments, desperately taking any work they can find. It is really bad.

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie

Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.
