At the Kendrick/SZA Grand National tour, ushers passed out commemorative ticket stubs for concertgoers. This gesture warmed my nostalgic heart as physical stubs are so rare in this era. A stub is a true collectible to prove you were there but maybe too broke to cop a shirt. Kendrick didn’t forget. ♥️

Every morning, I wake up and take a free cognitive test.

It’s called “Emptying the dishwasher.”

What's (kogi) beef? With a diss track winning Song and Record of the Year, @tamarherman.com just wrote an interesting piece about K-pop artists taking verbal shots at execs, labels, and each other. SMB = "Sh*tman Bang"? Daaaamn son!

If you’re hyped about the Yacht Rock documentary, it might be time to schedule your next colonoscopy

“Jaws was never my thing and I don’t like Star Wars”

Wait, maybe I do like Star Wars. I spoke with the cast and directors of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew for the SF Chronicle.

Fun fact: my power went out hours before so I had to zoom everyone on a laptop tethered to my phone. 😬 shorturl.at/bc69t
In ‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,’ the kids are alright
Disney+’s new live-action “Star Wars” series, starring Jude Law and four new young actors, is child’s play in the best way.
