Have you been watching the Mr. A and Mr. M docuseries on Epix? The Carpenters were an early sign-on by A&M records, and you get to hear Karen and Richard talk about what it was like working with Alpert, Moss, and the rest of the crew at A&M. I highly recommend it. Carole King might be the next artist they look at in

Wait a minute. The article says they are a woman that is in the company’s internal trans employee resource group which doesn’t necessarily mean they are trans. They could just be a cis ally which makes much more sense if they are pregnant and a woman.

Those numbers are a bit misleading. Chappelle signed a deal way back in 2016 to release six specials and be paid $20 million each for them plus production expenses. So the budget for this was basically set in stone five years ago. That payout was always going to be “more than Chappelle was worth” in straight profit

If I ever get stranded part if not all of how I survive will be remembering stuff from this book

Same here, though I was late to Lord of the Flies. I think that was more adult anyway.

I went through SUCH a survival fiction phase. Every “kid gets lost or stuck somewhere and has to figure shit out” book was injected directly into my brain.

Oh....THAT Hatchet! Damn! I had this version, great book!

I keep seeing this header image, and whyyyyy did y’all use the shitty rerelease cover?

This is extra sad right now. While it’s never a good time for anyone to pass, Paulsen has passed while Hatchet is being challenged (along with books about Ruby Bridges and Martin Luther King, Jr.) by a right-wing group called Moms for Liberty. Here’s their write-up of the content they find objectionable for a 4th

Completely agree. Brosnan is probably the weakest of the Bonds for me because he doesn’t seem to add anything of his own to it (even Lazenby was the romantic Bond, even if that’s more down to the story he had than his acting choices). He looked exactly how you would expect Bond to look and was a nice balance of

I’m not sure if The Broz is no one’s favorite Bond, if only because your favorite tends to be the one that rings your own personal nostalgia bells. Goldeneye is sort of a personal classic for me, just representative of a certain era, even if Moore’s late movies were really the ones of my childhood. I think Brosnan’s

“The media don’t see us as sexy, fun, breezy, or cool.”

I’ve been out of college so long writing that paper actually sounds like fun.

I think you're vastly underestimating her longevity. Especially among horror fans.

I mean, if Tucker Carlson or Steve Bannon came out I’d like to think the LGBTQ community would hold a press conference to say “Pass”.

And she’s the rare famous person who WOULD have to explain who they are because she looks completely different when she’s out of costume/wig/make-up/heels.

To be honest, I’d love to just have her as a friend.  She seems pretty damn awesome in general.

The only time I’ve seen the movie ‘Elvira: Mistress of the Dark’ in an actual theater is the one year it closed out the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival (now the Queer Film Festival). She did a Q&A where she describes how her drag queen friend helped her create her signature look for her audition to the Horror

The fans that wouldn't accept this weren't fans to begin with.  She's happy, that's all that matters.  

Forget it, Proto Man.  It’s Toon Town.
