As a big fan of Mayor of Kingstown, I have to say season 4, especially episode 8, really cranked up the pressure. Seeing Merle Callahan work to hurt the McLusky family was intense. This season’s introduced a lot of new faces in Kingstown, which has been interesting, but honestly, the most dangerous problems still seem to be coming from people Mike McLusky already has a complicated past with.
A subtle but important detail in the “Belleville” episode is the prison alarm that echoes throughout the city, putting everyone on edge. Even Sarah, working at the diner, automatically reaches for her gun when she hears it. From the very beginning of the episode, most of the characters share this underlying sense of worry and are connected by it.
Okay, as a huge Taylor Swift fan, I was SO excited to see her on Stephen Colbert’s show! It was clear they had a great rapport – especially knowing Stephen’s been a Swiftie for ages. It was a little bittersweet though, because Taylor mentioned some people just want her to disappear, which honestly felt a little too real. Stephen didn’t say it, but I got the feeling he could really relate to that! The best part? He asked her to pick her top five Taylor songs! She started with “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” and “Mirrorball,” but then jokingly asked for a minute to think it through, saying…
I was really surprised by the latest twist in Two Blue Vortex. It felt a lot like when Kaguya first appeared in Shippuden – totally unexpected! What’s even more interesting is that the legacy of the Nine-Tailed Beasts has been revived, but not through Boruto. Instead, it’s Himawari, who wasn’t really considered a powerful character before, who seems to be stepping into Naruto’s shoes. One of the biggest complaints about Boruto has always been how closely it mirrored Naruto‘s story. This new development might be the series’ attempt to break away from that pattern, though it’s still too early to say if it’s working.
Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has called movie theaters an “old-fashioned” system, sparking debates with directors like Rian Johnson. He says that even if Netflix were to buy Warner Bros., it wouldn’t stop the studio from releasing films in theaters, but the time between a movie’s theatrical release and its availability on Netflix will likely change.
According to Variety, Wicked: For Good is predicted to reach a worldwide box office total of $467 million by the end of its fourth weekend in cinemas. Of that amount, $312 million has come from theaters in the US, and $155 million from international theaters.
While the show’s steamy scenes initially attract viewers, Heated Rivalry is much more than that. It’s a compelling love story between hockey rivals Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, and the latest episode ends with them heading in different directions, leaving their future uncertain.
A new study reveals how neural networks lose accuracy when faced with unfamiliar data, and introduces a method to realign their internal representations for better performance.

According to Variety, a pilot episode was filmed, written by Alina Mankin and with Liz Phang as showrunner. Jac Schaeffer, known for creating WandaVision and Agatha All Along, directed the pilot, but the streaming service has chosen not to order a full series.
Apparently, the Trump administration (yes, that Trump) has been cozying up to crypto like it’s the new golf buddy. And the SEC? They’re now less “regulation-by-enforcement” and more “let’s hold hands and skip through the blockchain together.” 🌈 Under this new, cuddly approach, they’ve launched a task force, dropped lawsuits like they’re hot, and even started something called “Project Crypto.” Because nothing says ‘we’re serious’ like a project with a cool name, right? Their latest masterpiece? A set of guidelines on crypto custody that reads like a mix between a self-help book and a thriller novel. 📖✨
