In Werewolves of London, is Warren Zevon CLARIFYING that he saw Lon Chaney Jr walking with the Queen? Or saying he ALSO say Lon Chaney Jr walking with the Queen? INQUIRING MINDS NEED TO KNOW.

Been revisiting Led Zeppelin over the past week, and just want to emphasize that "Since I've Been Loving You" remains a song you finish before turning off and leaving the car.

Had the privilege of meeting her when she visited our undergrad in 2008 with her late husband. Member of the same theatre fraternity as me and my friends! Excellent actor, RIP.

I saw Jurassic Park in theatres when I was six. I say “saw” but I very visibly watched through my fingers for about half of it.

If you'd told me in 2024 - at any point - that the Chicago White Sox would win a playoff series before the Cincinnati Reds, I'd have laughed my ass right into the river.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Walked into a bar after class to catch the end of the Bears game. Reader, this is the one bar in Chicago not showing the game.

This is particularly crazy when you see how many NFL venues are scheduled to host Kanye West, a guy who literally released a song about Hitler. Including two of the stadiums who threatened Sheeran! But he didn’t say anything good about Palestinians so it’s fine.

kudos to macklemore here for —right off the bat— the perspective and acknowledgment of who the real victims are
I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.

But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

I’m on the final episode of the original Twilight Zone series, have been watching for about two years now start to finish, and I gotta say, this final final episode feels like some kinda cosmic joke. It bad.
