Two Bills decision-makers have now earned promotions as a result of the team’s disappointing 2025 season. You should not need a diagram to figure this situation out. Historians call it an Ides-of-March scenario.

What makes a good anime adaptation can be trickier than it seems on the surface, and much like there's no one right way to create a story, there's no one right way to adapt one.

Unlike a lot of Grammy winners, looking at the competition, he clearly and profoundly deserves it every single time.
Do we think they know that people other than Stevie Wonder put out music from 1974 thru 1977?
Stevie really should've put out a record in '76, because I'm assume he would've won.

AI “deadbots” aim to replace the dead—and raise plenty of ethical issues, Charley Burlock argues. “Perhaps the biggest question is how such a product might shift our experience of personal grief and collective memory.”

Amazon has placed a VERY specific product warning on the published edition of the Kenneth Williams diaries. The incident that prompted this surely deserved more media attention.

Blog update: In September 1986, New Order competed with themselves for the indie chart number one - with "State Of The Nation" ultimately beating their "Peel Session" EP. So why does nobody talk about "State Of The Nation" nowadays? It can't just be the lyrics, surely?

OK. I've got a beer. I've got the transcript. Let's go.
