On reflection, retitling it WICKED: FOR GOOD was the right move, as it’s the only way for those of us who don’t know the musical to tell which of the almost entirely indistinguishable songs in the second half is supposed to be the big one

Someone should bring back those “this is your brain on drugs” commercials but for ChatGPT.
MIT recently completed the first brain-scan study on #ChatGPT users—and the results are deeply revealing.
Rather than boosting brain function, prolonged #AI use may be dulling it. #science #MIT #brainscience #sciencesky

If you get a chance, be sure to watch In Your Dreams on Netflix this weekend. It's the best animated movie I've seen this year not named Kpop Demon Hunters. (And honestly, it's probably a second viewing away from the top spot.) Baloney Tony FTW.

This sounds very much like my kind of jam.
Dispatch delivers one of the most compelling interactive dramas in years, an adult animated superhero story with the emotional punch of prestige television and a script that truly shines.

Strange. Also, if it was the grand plan to "Doctor Who" the main character every two years, why was that not talked about in the beginning?
This is... confusing. But also just a bummer, because even if Johnson manages to pull this off, I'll miss Lyonne as Charlie so much.

Dashiell Hammett's The Thin Man is going into the public domain on January 1st in case anyone wants to make a horror film about an adorably drunk couple and their dog chasing, like, a killer clown or something.

This has to be the dumbest rule I've ever seen in sports. Like an outfielder can be all, "Oh no, I just CAN'T pick up this ball." FFS. Stupid.
It’s weird that “If the ball gets slightly lodged in the outfield padding, rather than simply pick it up, the outfielder has the option to declare the play dead” is an actual rule.
