Wish I could still knit because if I could, I’d make Austin Abrams’s delightful sheep hat from RESIDENT EVIL
Austin Abrams in the 2026 Resident Evil. He’s on the phone, his head tilted down, so you can see that he’s wearing a mustard yellow knit hat with a pom pom on top. The hat is decorated with an intarsia pattern of sheep, mostly white with black faces and legs, but one that’s black with a white faces

kudos to macklemore here for —right off the bat— the perspective and acknowledgment of who the real victims are
I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour. But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families. The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

They’re playing Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer in Lightbox 1 ahead of the Prima Facie screening. It is day five of TIFF. I think I’ve lost my mind?

#TIFF26 day one is in the can: watched ALL OF A SUDDEN, FJORD, and WILD HORSE 9. Good way to kick off a festival! So far every movie I’ve seen deals with different flavors of frustration, which for my money is much more interesting than grief right now
