For The Odyssey (2026), Christopher Nolan told Ludwig Göransson, "No orchestra," because they didn't exist in the Bronze Age, forcing him to instead record himself striking 35 bronze gongs, scrap metal, and air-conditioning units — creating a completely unheard, raw soundscape.

My book TRANSLOCAS is free to read until the end of 2026 as part of the @UofMPress US at 250 initiative. It was one of the 11 books selected by student Larnell Gross to be part of the section titled Soul of America: 250 Years through Books. Thanks Larnell! press.umich.edu/Books/US-250

holy crap this is easily the best Tony Award speech of the entire night. hell yes to all of this
"This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty. To the queer and trans communities that always will exist, no matter what people in power try to take away from them. To the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life – a full life – without occupation. ... If there's one thing we can learn from vampires, it's that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised."

Heartbreaking reality. A father of 5 in the Philippines breaks down as Trump's disastrous war on Iran doubles fuel costs, leaving his children starving. With 98 percent of oil routes blocked, the country is 40 days away from total collapse. The world is suffering.
