Bands: on behalf of DJs the world over, please do NOT print your vinyl albums on clear vinyl. That shit is impossible to see. (The track breaks you *think* you see here are actually on the other side of the record.)

Jesus Christ. Just when I thought #FIFA couldn't get any more awful and corrupt, they invented a damn "FIFA peace price" to award to somebody they wanted to pander to? (Take a wild guess who.) Thanks, I'm tuning out of this BS. #worldcupdraw

In the monsoon of terrible news, I missed the executive order last Friday to cut funding for the only Federal Agency that funds library services. Libraries are popular with both parties, so maybe we can get this one denied? FAQ and list of things to do about it: www.ala.org/faq-executiv... 1/2

Wait, what? Some dudes staged a live production of Hamlet during the Covid lockdown, but shot entirely inside the game Grand Theft Auto? And made a documentary? What?? (96% positive on Rotten Tomatoes and it's playing this week at the Drafthouse. So, uh, off I go...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=OloH...

For those evacuating with pets in LA: Hilton’s Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Embassy Suites, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton, Tru and Canopy brands are all 100% pet friendly. Even cats! And a lot of hotels are waiving pet fees atm. Good on u Hilton! Pun intended: that’s hot.

An interesting and depressing read. Very shortly there will be 100% AI generated "content" that people vaguely watch as background noise while paying a monthly fee for the privilege. It seems we're already (more than) halfway there, but at least humans are still churning out the forgettable films.
This deep dive on Netflix purposely turning movies into barely distinguishable forgettable slop is so insightful, researched & brutally hilarious. A must read if you want to really know what’s happening to the business AND culture of movies.

Speaking of which, a big screen showing of Godfather Part 2 led me to revisit Godfather Part 3 for the first time in 35 years. It doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the first two but...it's not as bad as we all remembered. letterboxd.com/malderor/fil...
