There was a fire that caused the closure of a Metro station and 20 minute train delays.
As a result the Metro has achieved NYC subway levels of crowdedness.

I think the fact that Billboard used a photo that’s only 2/3s Bee Gees really undermines/answers the rhetorical question. Thank goodness @billboard.com doesn’t purport to be a reputable industry source, or else this Maurice Gibb erasure would be pretty embarrassing.
Was the Bee Gees’ 1978 the Greatest Pop Star Year Since The Beatles?

On this Vintage Pop Stardom episode of the Greatest Pop Stars podcast we look at the Bee Gees' 1978 disco domination, an underrated all-time pop peak.

Disney has Tron: Ares, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, Rental Family, Zootopia 2, Ella McCay, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and Is This Thing On? opening this year. I hope the talent involved in these movies curtails all planned publicity until the company reverses its decision about Kimmel.

The only way forward is to inflict as much financial AND publicity damage on Disney as possible as swiftly as possible. Cancel streaming subscriptions, boycott products, picket, encourage politicians and entertainment figures to shout about this from the housetops. Demonstrate the cost of cowardice.

Things are dire. We’re losing faith in institutions. Journalism is, at best, under attack and at worst rolling over for an authoritarian. It is a dark moment in history.
But at least The Morning Show is back and giving me faith in journalists and journalism again.

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.
Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.
