Brock Lesnar named in suit against ex-WWE boss Vince McMahon Former WWE wrestler and MMA fighter Brock Lesnar has been named in an amended complaint filed by Janel Grant, a former WWE employee who is suing Vince McMahon.

Doesn't negate this either!

Can confirm. Tags were being updated as I got to the game aisle at 9.

My Costco currently has them in like the second aisle on the right, rather than with the TVs. But I’ve never seen them drift far from that area (sometimes on the left coming in, sometimes floating, sometimes in the aisles).

Games are on large cardboard cards. Find the games (they could be in a number of different spots), take a card to the cash, ring it up, and then there’s a merchandise pickup door on the way out.

Review: The Pitt, "9:00 PM" | Season 2, Episode 15 The shift ends on an unexpected and satisfying note

It has been a pleasure digging into every episode of The Pitt this season over at Episodic Medium, and the conversation in the comments often makes me reconsider my interpretation. Thanks, @memles.bsky.social for creating a safe and lively space to chat TV www.episodicmedium.tv/review-the-p...

#AbbottElementary saw this and said “What if we make the next episode even worse, with some of the most aggressive ‘Why would a camera crew be filming all this’ in the series’ run?”

Speak on it, Keir.

But her residency wouldn’t be finished when Season 3 is happening due to a shorter time jump.

Review: Scrubs, "My Celebration" | Season 10, Episode 9 Is this the best we can expect NuScrubs to be under the circumstances?

I'm glad #Scrubs is back. I'm happy to revisit a show I enjoy.

I also don't think there's enough upside in the compromised format for it to ever achieve anything close to the original creatively, given how this season shook out.

My review of the finale is up at Episodic Medium.

Either you value your audience enough to pay someone to create your poster for you OR you value your audience enough to open PowerPoint, slap in some photos, and create something that shows you're an actual person.

Look, I'm obviously sick of AI in all contexts, but if there's a particular scourge I'm bothered by at the moment it's the "AI Poster" aesthetics that people have somehow decided are better than WordArt realness.

Why would I trust someone who thinks this is okay?

CBS Sets 2026-27 Schedule - Give Me My Remote The network has revealed its fall lineup.

CBS just abandoning its Monday comedy block and forcing Ghosts to midseason to split its slot with their sole new comedy is...a sign of the times, I guess.

(Props to them for letting Ghosts still do hour-long seasonal Halloween/Christmas episodes in true broadcast fashion, at least.)

$9.99! (I will pay…much…more trying to get enough cars to stage it).

Eight Christmas village buildings.

Did YOU know that Goodwill has an online auction site for items they think have actual value?

It would have honestly probably been better if I didn’t.

Yeah, I raise him here less because I was constantly thinking "Oh, there's the DEK" and more because I was like "Wait, is the DEK why I'm feeling this way?" (And agreed on Kidman, who is just perfectly fine in a role that demands nothing more of her).

Yeah, it's tapping into a very distinct COVID-era disruption of time, too. I *know* that OnlyFans and going viral for TikTok dances is a 5-year-old phenomenon, but when/if we ever actually escape it remains very opaque to me.

I never quite got a handle on why this show with a fundamentally contemporary premise felt so old-fashioned to me (I mean, probably the DEK of it all), but it's a fundamentally solid and good version of what it is, and agreed on the performances.

(@fanstudies.bsky.social @scmsfaas.bsky.social can i get a boost for this student's research solicitation?)

She won election the first time without it, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯!

Update: in case you want to do a double feature like I did, #Crawl is on Paramount+ and PlutoTV. Just as tight as I remember.

I appreciate Netflix spending tens of millions of dollars to make #Thrash, a perfectly watchable movie that mostly exists to prove how tight and effective the wildly similar #Crawl is by comparison.

The book's version of politics is dream-like, but at least it makes the Republican the villain in ways that feel grounded in reality. Abandoning that in the film makes the politics into nothing at all. Wasteful.

"Oh, kids of all genders loved KPop Demon Hunters? I guess that's what happens when it's on Netflix and it can just be discovered without marketing. We could never get boys into the THEATER for a girl movie, though. Oh well."

It had to be Texas for plot reasons (it's their home state, it's a pipe dream) but the book never had to actively figure out the Electoral College scenario that would make coming down to Texas possible.

Movie should have just skipped the map.

I get we hold Pixar to a higher standard, but the "I can't believe Disney canceled a movie for being too female-coded, look at KPop Demon Hunters!" discourse is pretending that

A) Sony didn't ditch that movie for similar reasons
B) The industry is capable of unlearning gender essentialism

I am officially writing an article about Alamo Drafthouse (anti-)fandom and their buyout and anti-labor policies in the broader context of media consolidation. If you are a fan of the drafthouse, current or present employee, etc and you would be interested in speaking about this, please reach out!

Went back and found my newsletter and we’re on the same page here.

Nothing about the movie makes a lick of sense, that electoral map drove me insane. (The book DOES use turning Texas as its big climax, but it sets up everything else more logically).

I only really do the Wordle these days when I see a post like this, which is really cheating because I’ll get to a point where I know I have to seek something more obscure than my first instinct.

Still pretty wild that THIS is how that turned out today.

Not only would you NEVER take I-95 to get to the Outer Banks from Philadelphia, but is this TV show pretending you can FLY into the Outer Banks?! Janine, you'd have to drive two hours from Norfolk either way! Be real with me right now, television show! #AbbottElementary
