I somehow missed all of the Blood & Honey drama. OMG. "Unwittingly strayed into a Chinese crackdown on Winnie-the-Pooh imagery that was sparked by memes likening the character to Xi Jinping" and "a teacher in Florida accidentally played the decidedly R-rated film to a class of fourth graders."

Rhys Frake-Waterfield and Scott Jeffrey discuss upping the ante, the budget and — well — everything for the bloody sequel to their unexpected micro-budget slasher smash hit.

The Smithsonian should put this quote on a t-shirt and sell it in its gift shops.
They made me cut it because the source didn't want to use their name, but a Smithsonian official told me they didn't want these monuments because "museums aren't America's attic for its racist shit."

"So far this year, 30% of white-collar workers with access to paid leave have taken sick time, up from 21% in 2019." That means 70 percent of workers are still guilted into not using sick time — probably significantly more when you also include those who aren't paid when out sick.
imagine seeing people taking sick days and taking this angle on it

Should I be annoyed that my husband got his zombie beep like a full minute before I got mine? Or glad that I'll get somewhat of a warning if he starts to turn?

THR's TV critics took on an impossible task: Ranking the best 50 shows from the past quarter-ish century. Come for the list itself, stay for gems like a "Jolly Green Jizzface" reference and a (totally warranted) George RR Martin burn. www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/best-t...

Maybe they'll get it together, but so far this 'Toy Story' NFL game is a disaster. The announcers look fine, but elsewhere it's arms through legs, weird camera angles that miss the action and jerseys marked Unknown.

Wait. It's called AstroTurf because the Houston Astros were the first to use it?! Watching Apollo 10 1/2 and Richard Linklater just blew my mind.

No clue what a first skeet (ugh, really?) is supposed to be, so I'll go with a PSA: Dark chocolate chips mixed into peanut butter is way more satisfying than Reese's. You get a custom PB-to-chocolate ratio and, for some reason, it feels healthier. (Please don't tell me if it isn't.)
