The reports of Kimothee Chalajenn breaking up are greatly exaggerated. The two are still together and presumably having some sort of eerie, almost elvish-like sex that blinds the eyes of mortals. At least that’s what these doodles I made are showing. (TMZ)
Taylor Swift gave a helluva lot of money to her crew. More of this, celebs! (Lainey Gossip)
Well, Sarah Jessica Parker, school already starts in three weeks, so our house got takeout tonight. It was delicious. (Celebitchy)
The right’s open flirtation with Andrew Tate really says a lot about their super-deep concern with sex trafficking. They hate it so much that they just can’t stop loving this guy who all but said to his followers, “I moved to Romania so I could sex traffic.” (Wonkette)
Kayleigh talked about Passages, its NC-17 rating, and the American film industry’s long history of queerphobia. (Paste)
Leah Remini is suing Scientology. Hell yeah. (Daily Beast)
Relatedly, IMAX begged Tom Cruise and Paramount to reconsider moving Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning’s release date so it wouldn’t get murdered by Oppenheimer. They refused, and surprise, it got murdered by Oppenheimer. (Collider)
Elon Musk thinks he’s going to somehow convince Tim Cook to change the Apple tax. Just like that. (The Verge)
Marc Maron has a message for the “f*cking insecure babies” crying about Barbie, and whoops, did not mean to have two links in a row about Elon Musk. My bad! (Uproxx)
From James: I’m cautiously optimistic this new room-temp superconductor is the real deal.(Tom’s Hardware)
Oh, damn, Post Malone bought the $2 million One Ring card from the new Magic: The Gathering Lord of the Rings set. Did I maybe try to find it and blow way too much money in the process? No! What are you, the cops? (Polygon)
Absolutely incredible that Donald Trump didn’t receive top-notch legal advice from a guy openly saying “Come here, Big Tits” to his female employees. Truly uncanny. (Jezebel)
Did Kelly Ripa and Kristen Bell live under the same power lines as kids? Jesus over-sharing Christ. (Page Six)
To fulfill the CBR15 Bingo category "You Are Here," Merryn chose a collection of short stories by a Brisbane author, Cockroach and Other Stories by Jane Cornes Maclean. “These stories pull you in, immerse you in the lives, senses and emotions of the people who populate them, language carefully crafted to create shifts of tone from the meditative to the hilarious…” Is there a local author you would recommend? (Cannonball Read 15)
