The Best Man For The Worst Job?
My heart truly goes out to the rank and file of what remains of Paramount Global during this holiday season, and it sure appears that a lot less of it will exist once we enter the New Year. THE WRAP’s chief deep diver Lucas Manfredi dropped this dour update yesterday on the progress of the
What Is Cost-Efficient?
It’s not easy to fathom that there’s been sort of an austerity movement at an outlet like Prime Video, especially at a time of year when those Amazon Prime members are getting their money’s worth from those annual subscriptions. But since outside of NFL games we haven’t seen a peep of bravado lately for anything
One More Alternative For Giving Tuesday
It’s Giving Tuesday, not that you didn’t already know that. If your inbox and alerts are configured like mine, you’ve probably received well over a dozen emails and texts pointing you to noble causes and reminding you that while you’ve recently been in the midst of spending for you and your immediate loved ones over
Family Matters
How apropos–or perhaps ironic–that over a holiday weekend where I’m told people were spending time with family members (not in my case, mind you) that the breaking news alerts that popped up most frequently involved politicians and their respective family members.

She Got The Right To Lose
In slightly more normal times a Group of Five conference tournament for a secondary women’s sport would be wholly unworthy of any sort of spotlight. The Mountain West Conference women’s volleyball tournament final that was held yesterday wasn’t even worthy of a tile on ESPN+, and the report from a local beat writer, Kevin Lytle

Clearly Right. But Not Necessarily Accurate.
There’s plenty one could say about Patrick Soon-Shiong that I’ll allow would be accurate observations. Rich? Heck, yes. Has made billions in biotech and doesn’t shy away from defending how it can save the world. Civic-minded? Gotta give him that; at least he was willing to step up and bail out the Los Angeles TIMES
Thankful? Who, Me?
I hope you had a better week that I have had. It began with a surprising convergence of recurring auto payments and annual subscriptions that even after I got last week’s paycheck left me overdrawn. That often happens to me around the 30th or so of a month; this time it was the 25th.
Aloha Oy?
As if #GLICKED wasn’t enough to momentarily revive the theatrical industry, along comes Disney with the first of its holiday contributions to kickstart it further. Today a much-anticipated sequel to MOANA debuts across America just in time to give those who aren’t stuck on kitchen prep a place to safely go hide and lose themselves
