As someone who only looks at the Super Bowl for the performances, it's amazing how every year, the media gets the performance schedule ridiculously wrong.

Remember when everyone on social media, but me, had coveted Dall-E and ChatGPT invites?
I make one AI thing, and suddenly there is such a massive, visceral, mob-like, implacable hatred for all things generative AI. 🙄

Even though The Housemaid ultimately sccumbs to a now worn-out trope, the fact that half of the movie pretends to go a different direction redeems it...It does a good job of not making the trope too predictable, at least.

Oof..Once again Bluesky has got to update their aporoach to "trending topics." This general/topical summary phrase thing is useless and not working....

Reminder that "Bougie" has racial undertones. It was mostly used as a pejorative for black people (synonymous with saditty & uppity) before a rapper made it mainstream and people started using it to describe things and not just black people. Still, we should stop using it, especially on #Jeopardy

Good Christmas music is deceptively hard to make, yet so many artists try to phone in "holiday" cash-grab tracks every year.

So is Patti LuPone's "The Artist" just a more fictional Gilded Age version of The Cat's Meow (one of my favorite movies)?

The issue is now-outdated assumptions that newsrooms/editors have to address.
A few years ago this approach would have worked, but this FDA isn't your mom's FDA. Newsrooms have to factor in agenda from once authoritative sources.
News had a similar reckoning with police sourcing a few years ago.

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

I guess I'll get to re-post this every year for Thanksgiving
Why does The News cover holiday travel as if holiday travel doesn't happen every year?
Yes, a lot of people are flying at once. There may be delays, cancellations and long lines, just like last year and the 50 years before that.

However....too bad there isn't an Oscar for Best Scene, because the As Long As You're Mine scene was perfect....
Is there a People's Choice for that? #Wicked

#Wicked Part 2 was ok, but Part 1 was much better.
I still stand by my hot take that they should have figured out a way to make it one film instead of two, and #ForGood's shortcoming shows why. It felt very much like an Act 2 that was all over the place and lacked the grounding #DefyingGravity had.
