Invoking Bill Clinton is a sure-fire way to not get my vote. An endorsement from Steve Bannon is another. Newsom's really cooking, man.

When you have no concept of how people engage with music

I am not joking when I say this.
Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.
Al music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all Al music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.
Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

Lots of stuff in this one! I talk about my current favorite film of the year, my trip to the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, COYOTE VS ACME, the new WOLVERINE game... give it a try!

I've got a very fun newsletter dropping tomorrow for FORMERLY DANGEROUS readers. Covers a lot of ground. I want to read it again before I publish, though. I sometimes hit send too quickly and then immediately see three things to fix, especially at the end of a long workday.

A terrific new take on the character that embraces its 2026 setting in very smart ways. I loved everything about it.

The thing about studios dictating that everything is a spoiler is that months after the fact, the review doesn’t reflect the critic’s grappling with a film. It’s a reflection of a marketing strategy.

Because of the nature of the bonuses, I can only sell a handful of lifetime memberships each year. This week, I'm going to open five spots. You reeeeeeeeeeeeally want to take advantage of this deal.

Today in the Castro was the Mrs. Roper Romp, in which a ton of people (I lost count) showed up dressed as Mrs. Roper from Three's Company. I love my city!

Three people wearing muumuus, red curly wigs and silly sunglasses in the city

Two people wearing matching 1970s dresses, bead necklaces and big sunglasses with red curly wigs. One has a beard.

Three more people dressed as Mrs. Roper. One has kind of a handlebar mustache. One has no glasses and a bluer dress. One has a cute green wrap around her neck.

Now that it's on the air, I think I'm allowed to say I haaaaaated BROTHERS, the new Woody Harrelson/Matthew McConaughey Apple series. I made it through one and a half episodes and had to tap out just so I didn't throw my TV out the window. Smug. So, so, so smug.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

Never forget that Frank Oz believes the stress of dealing with Disney's initial, relentless attempts to buy his creations is what killed Jim Henson. "The Disney deal is probably what killed Jim. It made him sick," he told The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/culture/2021...

Frank Oz on life as Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and Yoda: ‘I’d love to do the Muppets again but Disney doesn’t want me’

He played some of the most memorable characters of all time on The Muppet Show and Sesame Street - then became a brilliant comedy director. What is he most proud of?

Another great newsletter from Drew. I delayed my drive to Austin this afternoon ‘cause I couldn’t stop reading after I started. (It cost me 15 minutes extra, I made it fine. And with more knowledge about The Bride & Volunteers, among other films.) You oughta subscribe and get all this 80s goodness.

I loathe scalpers in any industry. When you intentionally try to make a product rare so you can drive prices up, you're a fucking vampire. Pokemon should be just as accessible to a kid walking into a store with his birthday money as to a private collector with an adult's income. This delights me.

You read that right: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar will, thanks to the approval of Trump's FCC, own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. One of many things to keep in mind when you cast your vote in the next six weeks.
