Scandoval
While at this conference and really tired and not feeling well, I watched a few episodes of Vanderpump Rules. And somehow, these horrible people and their petty bullshit absolutely hooked me. So I read all the Vulture recaps I could find and now I'm obsessed with trying to suss out the Scandoval (Tom Sandoval cheating with Raquel-- you know what? It's embarrassing, I'm not going to talk about it any more.)
I watched both days of Wrestlemania.
Listen to Vanity of Ages by Sarah Davachi on Apple Music. 2022. Duration: 9:47
"Chamber music for consorts in yellow, green, and bronze."
My 2023 reading.
It sucked.
First, it's not a documentary. There isn't a coherent story getting told about the rise of these bands.
They exist. They party with one another. They play the same bars in Brooklyn. They blow up. CONSEQUENCES. They made Brooklyn so cool everyone moved there. Now it sucks you missed it.
Oh, and in the descriptions of the movie, it talks about TV on the Radio. Spoiler alert. It's like 13 seconds of footage of the band wrapped around two toss-away mentions of them. Fucking bullshit. There's like 9 times more b-roll of James Murphy standing with a drink in dancehalls.
Don't waste your 7-day, free trial of Showtime on it.
Videogaming-related online strip by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. Includes news and commentary.
The article, not the comic, nails it when it comes to the new Willow series. I said something very similar about the show after seeing last week's episode:
"Here's what they think we want:Ā somebody's script they already had written, with the serials filed off, and vile comeuppance for those who might have fantasized about what happens next.
Agreed. This wasn't a script written for Willow. The structure of the world doesn't match anything we know from the movie, which isn't a bad thing, but it reveals that someone took a personal project that was going nowhere and decided to call it Willow. And if you're Lucasfilm and dealing with near-constant contempt from "fans" about Star Wars, you're not going to give a shit about George's "Untitled Warwick Davis" project.
I don't hate the new Willow, I like a whole bunch of it, but let's not pretend that it's something it isn't.
This is what it feels like in the morning after your turn 40.
I have not installed Tumblr on my phone.
I have not recommitted to this platform.
Hi.
I was here when they made the moon.
I was here when post types became a thing, with glimmering icons and broken markdown.
I was here when they carved the first reblog.
I was here when the first Tumblr browser extension, whole and fresh and dew-new, arrived and made this place useful.
I was here when there was Tumblarity and stickers and boosts.
I am here, and old, so very old, and I am here.
I too saw these things. They wereĀ important.Ā
They were the fundament to a new future.
A future sold for a scream.
New Avengers, volume 3, Issue 40, Jonathan Hickman and Stefano Caselli
Old Man Rodgers wants the āIlluminatiā Avengers to be tried by S.H.I.E.L.D. and to serve sentences for the evils theyāve committed preventing incursions to our Earth.Ā
Everything you need to know about T'Challa, the Black Panther, is in that last panel.
This is the Black Panther Iām expecting in the 2018 movie.
The guy doesnāt us any explanations! The cat suit isnāt a ācostumeāā itās a habitā a ceremonial vestment of tribal rank.Ā
Heās not captain America. Heās not Iron Man. He doesnāt answer to you. Heās Namor without the attitudeā and, hey, I donāt see you dragging Namor in for any blasted āinquires!ā
Heās only here out of respect for this nation and this committee. I think we as a people have been looking at the Black Panther backwards for years now.
He is on of the greatest men of our time. One of the worldās most brilliant thinkers. He is a spiritual man of peace.
We have no leverageā political or economicā over him. If you kick him out of dodge, it wonāt make any difference to him or his nation.
We will be the only losers. All of us. Because, if you look beyond the political and media hypeā if you look beyond the larger-than-life adventures his status predicatesā beyond raceāĀ if you look beyond the maskā you will find a man of great compassion and great nobility. Heroism, to be sure, but much more than thatā heās us.
The man I could be. The man I should be. You donāt need this hearing. You donāt need advanced defensive systems to protect us from him. All you need to do is tell him to go home.Ā
If you order him to leave and never return to our shores, he will obey.
And then God help us all.

According to data from web analytics firm SimilarWeb, Tumblrās problems started, predictably, with its adult content ban. In December, it was flying high, with approximately 521 million pageviews that month. 30 days later, that had dropped to just 437 million.
