Week of August 21, 2023

1. The New Yorker interviews one of my favorite new film makers, Why Emma Seligman Decided to Make a Movie About a Queer Fight Club. I absolutely loved her debut, Shiva, Baby. And here’s the trailer for the new one, Bottoms.

2. James Webb Telescope: The Ring Nebula Comes into Focus, and It's Astounding.

3. 30 Signs You Are Living in an Information Crap-pocalypse (scroll down for the list).

4. Vote for the Kid’s Mullet Champ. Plus, Day 2 of The 48th Annual Twins Days Festival.

5. I love a good cross-genre cover song, to wit: a bluegrass version of AC/DC’s Thunderstruck. Plus, a beautiful rendition of Wouldn’t It Be Nice.
