A story is only as good as its villain.
The Olympics are in full swing and for those who can t catch everything, Here s a list of my favorite thing/moments/situations from the 2024 Olympics. I ll keep updating as we go, so make sure to check back! I couldn t love this moment more. Brazil s Rebecca Andrade would be the GOAT if she didn t live in the time of Simone Biles. Andrade
Okay people, Eurovision is going off on May 7th and 9th for the Semifinals and May 11th for the Grand final. It s going to be super fun and you can watch it all live on Peacock. I m not sure who s going to win, but here are the best songs based on YouTube views, Spotify Spins and word of mouth.
A few years ago, my oldest child applied to colleges. We did the whole circuit, trying to support him and be the type of informed, helpful parents who made the college application process less stressful rather than more stressful. But applying to college is difficult, and we quickly had a baptism by fire. As a parent, you want to set
It’s not often that a 90-year-old Texan finds themselves at the epicenter of pop culture. But here we are. In an act of creative fearlessness, Beyoncé released a country-fusion album (or as Beyoncé calls it, “a ‘Beyoncé’ album.”) While a shock to many, the Houston native has waded into the waters of country music before. Beyoncé has a history of
I came to Fortnite very late. Like a month ago. That’s because I’m a Gen X gamer who has better things to do and better games to play. That was my working philosophy, anyway.

If you were lucky enough to enjoy the lovely, prosaic novel of the same name by Amor Towles, you may have approached this television adaptation by Showtime with the trepidation I did.

Newly arrived in town to help turn around an unruly bar, protagonist Dalton is awoken by friendly waitress Carrie Ann who has brought him
SPOILERS for Damsel. And 1981 s Dragonslayer. When I was a kid, there was a movie called Dragonslayer that played on cable over and over. It featured a cross-dressing girl and Peter MacNicol as the titular hero, which in retrospect is hilarious but was bizarre even at the time. It also had a dragon that demanded and received virgin girls as regular sacrifices,
While you were busy yelling at Disney+ about the crap coming out of Star Wars and the MCU, Apple TV+ has been quietly building a stable of quality shows, several of them really good sci-fi. One of my recent favorites was Silo, a tightly acted slow burn of a show about a post-apocalyptic society living underground. It s a little bit
I could play a thousand videos of men being held to lower standards than women, both in the private and public space. Perhaps nothing boils the blood more than this example, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Brett Kavanaugh at their respective Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Frankly, it s sickening. It s sickening that a man like that is on the Supreme Court, but
