Yep, this is completely awesome. AVC is officially back, baby!

“The crypto collective has followed the directive not to release Once Upon A Time In Shaolin into the world, but has held listening parties for people to enjoy the music, which presumably fulfills RZA’s wish for the album to “[expand] itself in the world and its own life of itself.””

Make “My Country Tis of Thee” the national anthem, just to confuse everyone at the olympics.

Lol, no. It’s a dumb little ritual we need to go through at the start of games, no one is paying any attention at all, you just need to get through it and be on-key, she fucking failed.

She deserves all she gets from this. She skipped lines, mangled the melody, made bad choices and doubled down on them. It was as fractured and insane as this country right now. It was terrible, yet feels perfectly appropriate. This should be the way it is sung for all time.

This is not news. Members of the clan including Raekwon and U-God have been saying this publicly for years. Basically they were paid individually to record some verses without being informed that they would ultimately be used for a collective Wu-Tang album. 

The same people who say “get over it” when classrooms full of children are slaughtered are now combing through social media posts to make sure everyone thinks this specific instance of gun violence is the one we need to burn the Constitution over.

Jack’s reaction here is really disappointing. Even if he disagreed with the comment and thought it was in bad taste, throwing your friend and creative partner for decades under the bus to this extent is a big shame.

Sorry but it’s not “hate speech” to wish a fascist was dead. It’s banal and Black is a douchebag for reacting like this.

Nothing good can remain in this broken country and world. We can’t even have our lighthearted comedy musicians to distract us with a little bread and circus as we descend into fascism and mass death. All is lost, everything is so fucked.

This article is loaded with great news but the best thing of all is NO MORE GODDAMNED KINJA!!!!!!! 

I said this just the other day, but the reason the press keeps talking about Joe Biden’s debate performance is because he hasn’t done anything else scandalous since then.  Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s strategy is to have a new scandal every 27 hours so that the press can’t focus on any one thing for too long.

Between JD Vance and Aileen Cannon, there’s batshit insanity happening roughly every two hours.

I will have to check out Tropical Fuck Storm.

Welcome back, Danette (which is, incidentally, my middle name!), and congratulations on the position! And welcome back to Rabin and co. Really excited to see what all this brings for AVClub.

Great Job, Internet!

Not enough of that Laurel Canyon Sound. 

They were hinting at that in the dearly departed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but never got the chance to fully develop it when it couldn’t survive the Hollywood work stoppages of 2007-08

Jesus Christ. How much Marvel shit is there?

Johnny Carson is thrilled, however.
