The new Florence + The Machine single 'Everybody Scream' sounds like a lost track from Queen's 'Flash Gordon' soundtrack.

It would be such a shame if this building, which completely ruined the skyline of New York City, had to be pulled down. It would just break my heart, which is full of deeply motivated loathing for this building
Reading about this luxury apartment building that's falling apart after only ten years because the developer wanted a pure white building, a color only achieved by weakening the concrete. LOL what a fucking living metaphor.
432 Park Is Cracking Up
Developers wanted the supertall’s cement façade to be a pristine white. Turns out that’s not great for durability.

I can confirm, having just paid $3 for (sigh) Howdy: CHINA BEACH is now streaming via Roku’s new subscription service. And it looks good! The Supremes song that’s the show’s theme—“Reflections”—has been replaced by a sound-alike, but at least this show is finally streaming.

This sucks in multiple ways, but the silver lining is I'm guessing he'll leave like Letterman did at NBC.

I love me a 4K disc with all the extras but the Criterion Channel is the thing I would have killed to have in my house when I was 16
Criterion — founded in 1984 — is courting a "new audience of cinephiles” via streaming.
And it’s working.
Criterion Channel “has grown steadily” — and created a "low-churn subscriber base” that has "eclipsed the company’s physical media business”.

How Criterion turned its film archives into a streaming powerhouse
The Criterion Channel refuses to employ Netflix-style algorithmic programming. That choice has courted a whole new audience of cinephiles.

I've gotten at least 3(!) notifications today with a reminder that it's a major no-no to include the EAS alert tone in news stories on-air.
So now I'm wondering... who used it to prompt the reminder? 🤔

It is a bribe and the shame of this will outlive them. I’m not naive, but these people are not fit to own or run a media company. They’re so poor, all they have is money.
