Ask yourself if it feels better for Cameron Winter or Post Malone to do guest spots in Nirvana and Black Sabbath when it's on the biggest stages rock music gets. For the death of Ozzy, that the best thing the industry could think of was a former rapper is a travesty.

I guess living in a world where Post Malone, the human embodiment of "I know it smell awful in there," is one of the biggest artists of the past 15 years, I'm not that bothered by a challenging, inventive indie band hiring savvy marketing guys to figure out how to take advantage of the algorithm?

Sinners engages with and creates a conversation with America's greatest sin, its greatest art form (blues), capitalism and personal striving while also being an amazing vampire movie. Have not stopped thinking about this movie.
And for our last free article of the day, in light of Sinners earning a record number of Oscar nominations, here's our review from @charlespulliam.bsky.social.
Sinners is a breathtakingly terrifying ode to Black mythology
Sinners solidfies Ryan Coogler as one of out generations great movie storytellers.

Well past time for her to fade into the background. Never actually engages when what is shown on TikTok or 'social media' is the truth. Just believes it's plainly brainwash.

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

It truly is shocking that AOC or someone hasn't done this test on camera yet
Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

It's really a testament to how bad the Yankees have been that not being swept in the ALDS is his biggest moment in ten years. The announcers - while the ball was mid-air - already started mythologizing a homerun that'll be forgotten when they lose.

From @theathletic.com: Aaron Judge delivered an all-time great swing to spur a Yankees comeback that kept their season alive. Judge's teammates were in awe of the slugger's performance in the biggest moment — to date — of his career.

CBS speaks to the 'middle 70%' now. What it doesn't 'speak to' are bad actors who yell the loudest and who no amount of pandering to will make them turn on their TVs every night to watch.
Ellison tells WSJ: "We want CBS to speak to that 70% of the audience that would really define themselves at center-left to center-right."
Weiss adds: "[D]esire for “news that reflects reality” and journalism that “doesn’t seek to demonize, but seeks to understand.'"
