Very upsetting to hear that Carter Hart was out there crying on the ice after the Golden Knights lost. He should be in jail.

Man I wish I wasn’t such a scaredy cat when it comes this stuff. Cause that looks incredible.
‘SINNERS’ will be at Halloween Horror Nights. The house will transport people back in time to Club Juke when vampires begin to appear.

Thank you @KyleNeubeck for having the guts to ask the real question of Josh Harris. Loved watching how uncomfortable that made him. Every reporter in the room should be pressing him more.

My favorite part of this Sixers season was when the billionaire owner (whose name appears in the Epstein Files) saved himself some money by making the team worse.

I will never understand the widespread Jalen Hurts hate. - Involved in the community - Class act - Has never been in trouble - Has never said or done anything controversial - Coaches son, who works hard and loves football - Clutch gene, has two of the best Super Bowl QB performances ever - Ultimate winner and has won big everywhere he's gone - Got benched for Tua at Alabama, handled it so maturely, then delivered when his number was called again. Balled out at Oklahoma - Second round pick who earned the starting role, has had a winning season every year as a starter and has won 57 regular season games in 5 years - Underdog stories are usually ones that people rally around and root for. If he was the QB for the Tennessee Titans, there's no way he'd be hated and ridiculed like this. It's only because he's the QB of the Philadelphia Eagles. #Eagles

Just a reminder: Two of the best animated films of this decade, The Mitchells vs. the Machines and Nimona, both include LGBTQ representation done naturally and effectively, with Katie Mitchell from The Mitchells being canonically queer and Nimona centering a same-sex relationship between Ballister and Ambrosius, and both films were critically acclaimed, widely loved by critics and audiences, and received major awards recognition because they’re genuinely strong, creative, and emotionally resonant stories. Undoubtedly better storytelling than these two Mario movies Who could’ve thought that you can include representation in such a sincere and honest way when the writing actually cares about its characters in an animated film?
Super Mario Galaxy Movie No Gays No Trans No LGBTQ representation at all I recommend it and its definitely a good time with the family

Here is what I'll say about the Jalen Hurts article. He has had 2 competent offensive coordinators in his career. Both left for head coaching positions after Super Bowl seasons. He has also had 2 incompetent offensive coordinators in his career. Both were first-time NFL playcallers, both went 1 and done, and neither is even a position coach now. Hurts has limitations. He has preferences. Every QB does. A good OC works with his QB and meets in the middle to find what works for everyone. Two guys did that. Two guys didn't. The results speak for themselves. If you want to use those preferences to argue that the son of a coach, who also played for Nick Saban, isn't coachable, that's where you lose me. The article even acknowledges that both Moore and Steichen came in with a plan about how the offense would function, while lines were more blurred with Johnson and Patullo. I fully expect Mannion to come in with a plan as well and push back on Hurts' preferences when necessary. He doesn't have the clout of being a longtime coach or an experienced playcaller, which does make it a bit of a dice roll. But Hurts has a relentless work ethic, and after the way last season ended, I'd expect him to be more open to change, especially if it is coming from someone competent.

Jalen Hurts is one of the most under-appreciated winners in the NFL and one of the most disrespected Super Bowl MVPs ever. The Jalen Hurts hit pieces are getting out of hand and ridiculous.

if i had a nickel for every time i've cried at a sentient rock in the cinema, i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. #ProjectHailMary

It would be really cool if @GHOSTBEV came out and said “hey we understand how much Harry Kalas means to you all. So we are adding his name back. It will be Harry the K’s presented by Ghost Energy.” Because this sponsorship only makes me want to NOT buy Ghost

Daniel Radcliffe says that J.K. Rowling's transphobic comments left him deeply saddened: “It makes me really sad, ultimately. Because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic.” He confirmed that he has not had any contact with Rowling since she began making the comments and added that he would “continue to support the rights of all LGBTQ people”. “Jo, obviously Harry Potter would not have happened without her, so nothing in my life would have probably happened the way it is without that person. But that doesn’t mean that you owe the things you truly believe to someone else for your entire life.” “Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I.”

32 years ago, 10 year old me lost his mind seeing @IAmSusanEgan in “Beauty & The Beast”. Tonight I got to share seeing her with my own 10 year old & it was just as magical. Hearing her sing “Home” brought me back to sitting in the mezz at the Palace. Pure magic.

Marvel Studios is reportedly playing with the idea of a team-up film to serve as the epilogue of the 'DEVIL'S REIGN' storyline ▪️ Heroes like Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Punisher and more would team up against Wilson Fisk ▪️ Spider-Man could appear "This is apparently one of the plans they have in motion to try and get these heroes to appear together."

AJ Brown says he's fortunate to be part of great leadership in Eagles locker room, says he's excited about the new season, and new coaching staff. This doesn't sound like a guy who wants to be traded or is expecting it AT ALL ‼️ #Eagles

"Helen of Troy can't be black!!!! The historical inaccuracy!" My guy, she was born from an egg after her mom banged Zeus who was disguised as a swan. Its a myth. Its why there's a cyclops and bunch of other things not real. The race of the actor for a fake person doesn't matter

Calling Jalen Hurts a bad QB isn’t just wrong, it’s ahistorical. Let’s remove all opinion and just deal in facts: Second-highest career passer rating in Eagles history Highest completion percentage in Eagles history Second-most playoff wins by any Eagles QB Two NFC titles A Super Bowl ring Quarterbacks who “can’t throw,” “can’t read defenses,” or are “decision-making disasters” do not get there. Ever. Not by accident. Not by being carried. Not in this city. And the Trent Dilfer comparison is where the argument completely collapses. I watched Trent Dilfer play too. Dilfer had a career passer rating of 72, was turnover-prone, and won because he was asked to not lose the game behind an all-time defense. Dilfer was replaced by two teams with Brad Johnson and Elvis Grbac. He was a passenger. Hurts has: Been the engine of the offense Won shootouts Won ugly Won in January Performed on the Super Bowl stage Those are not Dilfer traits. You can say Hurts hasn’t matched his 2022 peak yet. That’s fair. You can say the offense stagnated and the coaching churn hurt him. Also fair. But calling him “bad” or “washed” or “peaked” is just people confusing expectation frustration with player quality. Philly fans used to know the difference because we lived through actual bad QB play. Anyone who thinks Hurts fits that description should seriously go back and watch full games from the Kotite and Rhodes years. Criticism is fine. Debate is fine. But the takes out there aren’t analysis, they’re abysmal.
