Genuinely insane that a major newsroom isn't running a live post today trying to verify what is and what isn't being impacted by the federal funding freeze. Embarrassing how bad the media response is to this.

The hardest part of being on bed rest after spinal surgery is avoiding all the Nosferatu spoilers until I am able to see it in the theatre. It’s been a real challenge, because how are there already so many clips on TikTok??

By the way, if you happen to have Audible (I know) then may I INSIST that you find and listen to Hugh Grant's peerless reading of A Christmas Carol. Far and away and by several parsecs the best imaginable performance. There should be awards.
