Heard an actually funny Southwest Airlines announcement for the first time in a while. After no jokes earlier in the presentation: “I am going to dim the cabin lights now, to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.” No holding for a reaction, just said and moved on. EXCELLENT.

An interesting look at a journalist trying to do something new on YouTube. Dave Jorgenson has a new, weekly show, "What's Your Source?" The program, says Jorgenson, is “kind of like ‘Last Week Tonight,’ but more journalism-forward.”

Rocking @rianjohnson’s new camera app for my trip out to the #AustinFilmFestival, aka Screenwriting’s Comic-Con #aff33 #aff2026
So I recently badgered my cinematographer @steveyedlin into making my ideal iPhone still camera app. It shoots RAW, bypasses the iPhone's look processing and instead uses the same image processing we use on our movies. apps.apple.com/app/apple-sto…

I had a bit about Looney Tunes make the rounds a few months ago. Eric Bauza not only reached out to say he loved it(a very kind and thoughtful gesture) but he also left me this voice memo. I listen to it a lot. RIP. What a talent. What a loss.
Eric Bauza, the Emmy Award-winning voice actor behind Looney Tunes characters like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, died Sunday at his home as a result of hypertensive cardiovascular disease, according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records. He was 46. variety.com/2026/film/people…

Thank you Eric for giving our favorites their “voice.” His excitement and love for them was always evident, his passion undeniable. Saddened to hear of this sudden, tragic news. My heart and thoughts are with Eric’s family and loved ones. RIP Eric Bauza.

So deeply heartbreaking. Just saw Eric Bauza at Dynasty Typewriter 3 weeks ago; he was so talented, sharp, kind, and hilarious. My condolences to everyone impacted by his amazing work as a voice artist, and as a human being. May his memory be a blessing.
Eric Bauza has sadly passed away at the age of 46. The modern voice of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck alongside many other beloved characters.

kenan's first "make me lorne" move?
SNL's Kenan Thompson says Shane Gillis needs to be sat down & reprimanded for his joke on SNL about women dressing like whores at the gym. Thompson said SNL viewers should go back and rewatch the episode and celebrate how great the female guests were. What a pathetic response.

Twitter might be the only place that you can state a 7 time Eisner award winning writer is a “good writer” and get flooded with comments saying you’re insane for thinking this.

Sacha Baron Cohen says Marvel worried about casting a Jewish actor as the devil Mephisto because it could be perceived as antisemitic. “It was a wonderful meeting when I was offered it. It was primarily, I think, an almost entirely Black producing and directing team. And they said, ‘We want to offer you Mephisto, but we are aware of the negative association of Jews historically with the devil, and we want to make sure that you’re not insulted by us offering this.’ It was such an amazingly considerate, empathetic thing to say. And I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m good.’ I think for the Jews out there, sometimes we don’t feel seen. We don’t feel like people can empathize with us, that we are suffering too. And so to have this entirely Black producing and directing team be so empathetic was a moment of being seen. It was an amazing experience.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lHZPz
