Profoundly disappointed to see that Tyrese Maxey running the obstacle course at the dog show refers to him leading dogs through it and not running through it himself.

This was the best part. Except for one of my kid’s friends who was part of the Chorus Line performance.

Question: is the Macy’s broadcast slightly out of sync to cover for the lip syncing?

For some reason, thinking today about how Morrissey made his US TV debut on the Tonight Show and his screaming fans completely took over ruined one of Johnny Carson’s last shows.

1. Wonder- En Attendant Ana (2023)

The big finale! Finishing things off with this extraordinary song, that slays me every time. It’s a soaring, introspective masterpiece, and the best song I have heard this decade.

Twelve points!

Sure, Alan Dershowitz is terrible, but…Dana Loesch? The NRA lady? With the beets? I have not even thought about her in five years; I’m not sure she’s reflecting the vast majority of anything but desperation.

"elevate charismatic figures such as Alan Dershowitz"

-____________-
Bari Weiss says she wants to use her new perch at CBS News to “redraw the lines of what falls in the 40 yards of acceptable debate” in American political and cultural life. She says the aim is to sideline voices like Hasan Piker, Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, and elevate “charismatic” figures such as Alan Dershowitz and Dana Loesch who reflect “where the vast majority of Americans actually are.”

He probably overrates the original trilogy a bit, but it’s a good list. Got the bottom three right at least.

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”
So, we asked Pritzker to weigh in on the go-to debate for every "Star Wars" nerd: Which movies are the best? Here's his ranking of the 11 major films in the series: 1. "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) 2. "Star Wars" (1977) 3. "Return of the Jedi" (1983) 4. "Rogue One" (2016) 5. "The Last Jedi" (2017) 6. "Revenge of the Sith" (2005) 7. "The Force Awakens" (2015) 8. "Solo" (2018) 9. "The Phantom Menace" (1999) 10. "Attack of the Clones" (2002) 11. "The Rise of Skywalker" (2019)

2. Space Rocket- Gloria (2021)

Gloria is a psychedelic band from France, with a girl group influence. They are wonderful and I wish more people would discover them.

3. You’re Not Always On My Mind- Quivers (2020)

The signature song from this great indie band from Australia. One of those songs I fell in love with the moment I heard it.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup
On February 28, 2025, Stereolab are making seven of their studio albums available again as 2LP editions. These utilise the same remasters as the 2019 expanded album editions, cut from the original 1/2" tapes by Bo Kondren at Calyx Mastering and overseen by Tim Gane, but without any of the bonus material from the 3LP versions (which have now been discontinued), the idea being to make more cost-effective versions of these sought-after titles available to fans and shops. Each record comes housed in a single 5mm printed sleeve with printed inner sleeves, and a protective PVC outer bag. Emperor Tomato Ketchup is the fourth studio album by Stereolab and was originally released in 1996. A1. Metronomic Underground A2. Cybele’s Reverie A3. Percolator B1. Les Yper Sound B2. Spark Plug B3. OLV 26 B4. The Noise Of Carpet C1. Tomorrow Is Already Here C2. Emperor Tomato Ketchup C3. Monstre Sacre D1. Motoroller Scalatron D2. Slow Fast Hazel D3. Anonymous Collective
