As far as songs about age-inappropriate non-consensual mentor-mentee sexual relationships go, "Hands Clean" by Alanis Morissette is a total bop.

The night was cold and dark. “Listen to the wind howling in the trees,” said Frog. “What a fine time for a ghost story.”
Frog and Toad craddle warm cups of tea in their hands, as they sit in cozy chairs in front of the fire.

How much do you want to bet peak capitalist billionaire Taylor Swift has filed a trademark claim on the phrase “Patient Zero”? So that she can make money literally every time someone wants to, oh, I don’t know… talk about the AIDS crisis.

There's something to be said for Madonna and MTV being pretty much mirror images of each other. Both redefined popular culture in the eighties; both pushed the envelope in the nineties and early 00s; and now both exist somewhat quaintly on the periphery of a much noisier landscape.

Wild to think that parents wouldn’t let their kids watch this show when it first premiered because of how rude Bart was to Homer, Marge and his teachers, with him saying things like “Don’t have a cow, man!” and “Eat my shorts!”

When I was in grade four, I had a teacher keep me after class to “correct” my walk. Another teacher criticized how I sat with my legs crossed. Throughout my childhood, fathers of multiple male friends took me on walks to throw a ball around. “You need a stronger male influence.”

The franchise flops by getting mired in Skywalker lore, so the studio hands the reins to creators who tap into new and unexplored corners of the SW universe. And it works! Elated, the studio hires a new director and… returns to the Skywalker lore. Sigh.

Love the Charli version of Danceteria! Appreciate Madonna creating this call-and-response with her pop descendants, building on the concept of the dance floor as an eternal, ethereal space. (And Price layering in his work with Minogue and Charli in the respective remixes is 👌👌👌)

Dolly was nonpartisan but not apolitical. She followed a clear moral compass, largely informed by her faith, and her actions spoke much louder than her words. But that’s the key difference between someone like her and a Sheeran — action versus passivity.

On this day in 1928, Rod Robbie was born in England. He came to Canada in 1956 and established himself as one of Canada's top architects. His designs included the Canadian Government Pavilion at Expo 67 and Skydome in Toronto. He died in 2012. 📸 David Cooper
The photo shows an elderly man in a green trench coat and red tie, smiling and leaning on a metal railing. Behind him is the Rogers Centre, a large stadium with a distinctive curved roof, and the CN Tower piercing the partly cloudy sky. The scene includes a few cars and banners with Toronto logos, indicating the location is Toronto, Canada.

The original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) is an undisputed masterpiece, but its 2003 remake is everything a horror remake should be — reverent, but also its own terrifying thing. And the trailer had absolutely no right to go this hard.

Nothing guarantees a piece of creative work gets elevated to the canon, and HP was always more about its moment than a true literary classic. I can say a lack of creative follow up and a toxic cult of personality nuking goodwill and neutralizing millennial nostalgia isn’t helping shore up a legacy.
