besides being a net loss for culture and the media, the complete retreat from arts criticism is an act of cowardice. It’s acquiescence to power, a signal that if there will be any problems it won’t be due to someone forming an opinion about what the powerful are putting out into the world

Some personal news: Meet Frog. He’s 11 weeks old and 2.5 pounds of pure chaos.

I donated to Pasadena Humane because they’re doing incredible work for evacuees and animals affected by the fires.
I adopted my cat there years ago, and they’re a great organization.

An orange kitten in a laundry basket.
My dad adopted the most chaotic kitten. Since I’ve been home, he’s…
1. Bit holes in packages.
2. Stolen ornaments and used his teeth to rip Christmas lights out of sockets.
3. Attempted to steal a loaf of bread.
4. Somehow turned on the paper shredder while he was home alone???

The original Broadway cast of Wicked on stage
If any of my journalist friends are doing WICKED interviews, I'd be curious to know why they cut the green glasses! To me, it's key foreshadowing that the Wizard is a fraud, just making the whole city *seem* green.
Maybe they just didn't want to hide [SPOILER]'s faces??

I could actually feel my middle-school self clawing her way out of my chest as I was watching WICKED.
Sorry to all my neighbors who have to listen to me belt “The Wizard and I” in the shower for the next six weeks.

Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for Winnie-the-Pooh.
Pooh is very social. After Christopher Robin, his closest friend is Piglet, and he most often chooses to spend his time with one or both of them. But he also habitually visits the other animals, often looking for a snack or an audience for his poetry as much as for companionship. His kind-heartedness means he goes out of his way to be friendly to Eeyore, visiting him and bringing him a birthday present and building him a house, despite receiving mostly disdain from Eeyore in return.
Devan Coggan of Entertainment Weekly saw a similarity between Pooh and Paddington Bear, two "extremely polite British bears without pants", adding that "both bears share a philosophy of kindness and integrity".
I recently learned that I am quoted on the Wikipedia pages for both Winnie-the-Pooh and Paddington Bear, which is one of the most important things that has ever happened to me.

How ‘Agatha All Along’ Crafted ‘The Ballad of the Witches’ Road’
Award-winning songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez explain how nursery rhymes and Stevie Nicks inspired their witchy new hit.
Spoke to the brilliant Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez about crafting The Ballad of the Witches' Road for Agatha All Along.
I love that Jac Schaeffer specifically gave them Stevie Nicks' 1997 performance of Silver Springs as a reference point. www.marvel.com/articles/tv-...
