One of the most popular Dutch rappers right now is called Lil' Kleine, which translates to Little Little, and I'm not sure whether that's genius or obnoxious. (He himself is rather obnoxious.)

We were discussing "genre in pop music" in the course I teach today, and we were discussing album covers as signifiers. I forgot to write down who our death-metal example was and there was absolutely no way I could read the band name.

Those are all incredible.

My mom told me I need a bitmoji.

It's Max Martin, of course it is.

Look at this poseur who doesn't know about Meänkieli.

I refuse to have an opinion on Taylor Swift, damn it, but even she doesn't deserve being married to a Trump son.

This movie was so tonally strange. There were definitely fun parts - Colin Firth as Colin Firth but a super-spy, the lead kid was charming, some cute dogs - but the cartoonish violence, actual violence, and attitudes about sex and class just never combined well and made it really off-putting to watch.

Hey, tell your Clickhole cousins that the people demand Garbage Sons merchandise.

I have a Kate Beaton "Hunks" mug for the office and a Pet Shop Boys one for home.

Sometimes constraints really do help creativity.

There's a lot of shit going on in the books, so it could work.

Considering I heard "it's going to be 5 movies now for some reason!" before going in, I was pleasantly surprised with how self-contained Fantastic Beasts actually was. I think there is probably enough in the world to support more movies, but the way they did this one gives me a little more optimism for it.

I was really skeptical going into the movie, but came out thinking "yes, 5 movies does sound like a good idea." I just like being in that world a lot, and I'm assuming it'll get into the Grindelwald war which has potential.

Hey, my brother was supposed to work on the show! He is not now.

How did this series move from a weird Internet joke my friends made years ago into a real thing with a movie?

I'll check for Blaculas.

I guess it would keep the people who would go to this kind of thing out of the actual Italian cities, so it's really a service to the country.

I like the idea of an incredibly fey Bond, personally, but this might be why they don't ask me to cast things.

Entertainment journalists are obliged to ask this of anyone British and male.
