It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

They just played a Zohran commercial featuring several #Survivor alumni.

Absolutely wild.

Cover of the 2014 D’Angelo album, Black Messiah. Features a crowd of Black people with their hands raised in the air - in fists and flat-palmed in witness - framed in extreme closeup to the arms, obscuring most faces.

Catching up with silly game shows, and this week’s The Floor featured both a β€œBanned Books” and β€œEmmy Winning Shows” category. Crushed it!

One of our communities passed a long-wished-for bond to replace their nearly-60 year-old, never-once-updated facility tonight. In a very tough week for public libraries, I am overjoyed!

streaming platforms have robbed us of the randomness that used to be both an essential property of tv watching and a quality that mitigated its addictiveness somewhat. we were wholly beholden to whatever happened to be on! if we didn’t like any of it we were obligated to go do something else!

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

So @jimmykimmel.com's first words back tonight--"As I was saying..."-- were an homage to Tonight Show host Jack Paar, who used those words when he returned after walking out on his show in a censorship dispute with NBC. From 65 years ago:

Really fantastic to see one of our finest character actors Troy Kotsur popping up in a critical role in Foundation a few weeks back, and now in Black Rabbit as a stone-cold gangster.

Will they introduce themselves? Does one or both of them think I’m bizarre for noticing? What will happen?

No idea if they know each other – it was a small school – and have texted both but may have missed my window before the show started. The suspense is killing me!

Two friends from different corners of my college experience are seated next to each other, row to row, at a show! Spotted the back of one in the post of the other.

A lot of libraries also have physical media you can check out. Our local system has movies, audiobooks TV etc. I do realize it’s not practical to always do that, but it’s a good option! Also getting involved in your local library & its board can help!

Instagram post showing official photos of the Emmy nominees for supporting actor in a comedy series, with no photo for Jeff Hiller, because they did not expect him to be nominated.

JEFF HILLER! *So* deserving of the Emmy and makes my favorite story of this awards season even that much better.

We don’t want AI slop.
Stop sending us AI slop.
Stop wasting our time with AI slop.
It doesn’t sound good.
It’s antithetical to our core values.
You didn’t even make it.
Knock it off.
