The score for Luca Guadagnino's Queer is some of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's very best work not just among their film scores but generally as well.

Wow, NBC edited out the audience booing JD Vance at the Olympics. And this is one of the few remaining news outlets NOT owned by right-wing billionaire Trump sycophants

Extremely powerful AI image generation programs could have been built off of strictly public domain works but the companies won't settle for that because they want to be able to sell the efforts of current creators. All of them. Whatever *you* can draw now is more valuable to them than Da Vinci.

Cape May's "ghost tracks" are century-old, rusted railroad remnants buried in the sand at Higbee Beach and Sunset Beach in New Jersey, used for sand mining and World War I munitions, only appearing after major storms reveal them before being reburied again by sand.

It needs to be studied in a lab why boomers and Gen Xers feel such compulsive need to laugh about disabilities. They are obsessed. The short period in which doing so had a small amount of social stigma was a serious blow and they were horribly pent up.

I know this is on reference to the musical being adapted but this is among the funniest possible books to slap a "Now a Major Motion Picture" tag onto, as it's been a move for most of the existence of movies. Also it took another 15 years after this paperback for the movie to actually come out.

The Trump administration is no longer trying to get cash from Harvard as it seeks a settlement. At this point, the White House seems happy to get a signature on anything they can call a compact.
