It feels inelegant to say you should read my latest review because it’s very negative. You should read my latest review because it’s insane. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

La Boca Is All Smoke, No Fire

The Argentinean chef Francis Mallmann is notorious for his love of cooking over open flames. With his New York début, he fizzles out.

Eric Adams is crashing out so hard. I guess that job offer was rescinded

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · Oct 10

"What is it going to take before you drop your hate and say, 'Listen, the guy did the job!' I'm not running anymore, so you no longer have to do this whole charade. I turned the city around, folks—come on! ... Stop coming up with all of these creative ways of saying 'Eric failed.' Eric didn't fail."

It's me. I'm the wealthy bus rider

Second Ave. Sagas @2avesag.as · Oct 10

You can tell Cuomo's campaign has cooked its brain on Twitter because it's repeating nonsense talking points from people like Andrew Fine and Reza who claim only rich people use transit.

As of 2017, bus riders in NYC earn an average salary of $28K, well under subway riders ($40K).

I finally found time to cross the river and visit Opus 40 while upstate. A tremendous work of art and monument to Fite's devotion to his craft

Not officially confirmed but Nelvana, one of Canada's most storied animation studios, appears to have quietly closed down on Friday, yet another casualty of Corus Entertainment's struggle to survive.

FortierMorghan on Twitter: There is no news about this. No announcements. But Nelvana closed its doors today. My dad worked there. It was, to a great extent, the playground I grew up in. It breaks my heart where the industry is going. This company deserved better announcement around this. Better celebration of its contribution to the Canadian entertainment system. But just…. nothing.

Twitter conversation:

Jason the Cartoon Fan on January 17: Nelvana is in serious danger of going defunct, with its assets folded into the rest of its parent company Corus Entertainment.

jenbrained on August 31: Closed its doors on Friday. One of Canadas oldest and most prolific animation studios, produced hundreds of works, just gone in a snap. Canadian media is in a real crisis and it’s gonna get worse

Amethyst Deceiver replies: Holy shit *the* nelvana? Half of the stuff on kids TV in the late nineties was produced there

jenbrained replies: Yep. Many crew members have ended their last productions or are in the midst of closing up shop. Super super sad :/ Mix of streaming taking over and incompetent Canadian telecom companies bleeding money. Huge loss to the animation scene here

Voice actor Deven Mack on Twitter: With 54 years of history yet no major fanfare, Nelvana Ltd. closed its doors this past week.

Some know this animation studio for their work on Rock & Rule, Star Wars Holiday Special, Droids and Ewoks. I knew them for incredible 90s shows that captured my imagination as a child.

As a teen in 2006, Nelvana gave me my first foray into professional voice over with Lab Rat in Grossology, my first and only anime roles as Zeo in Beyblade: Metal Masters and Wynton Bakugan: Battle Planet, along with countless other productions up until this past year.

Letterboxd dropped a major redesign on Android, I think bringing it in line with Apple, that hides reviews on a second page and pushes cast credits to the first page. Baffling choice to hide the primary attraction of your app.
