There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

For a thousand bucks and my Canva account even I could make a better book cover.

Sigh, I miss compilation specials like this. Disney’s Halloween Treat intro from the 80s (my favorite).

A few of my character crushes. Some gay, some grumpy, some kooky… wish this helped me figure out my actual type. 🤷‍♀️

Oh no I’m watching the first ep of YOU and now I’m like, you know, a caring stalker might be just what I need! (No spoilers, I’m sure this goes great…)

We CANNOT lose Jane Goodall and Dolly Parton in the same year. PRAY FOR DOLLY (even if you don’t believe in it.)

Yashar Ali 🐘 @yasharali.bsky.social · 7d

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

Burbank airport has no air traffic controllers right now and won’t until around 10pm. I’m sure that’s just another totally normal thing to be happening.

The idea that it's the duty of any branch of our police or military to suppress peaceful protest is as un-American as it gets.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.
