Still the best damn photo of Judy Garland I’ve seen (and, sister, I’ve seen a lot). At The Sahara, Las Vegas 1963.

In which show runners take to Twitter to lament their mistakes. 

Lol where is Dan Harmon in this conversation, though? This sounds like his kind of party.

every morning for the last couple weeks while driving to work through South LA, there’s been a story on KCRW about the 20th anniversary of the riots after the Rodney King trial.
basically every single piece has been a compelling, complex approach, but this one is still in the back of my mind. it’s about a radio station right in the heart of where the riots emerged that reacted by completely changing their format:
“The phone started lighting up, and my jocks shut down the music,” Slade says. “They stayed on the mic — they took the calls. And probably for the next three days, we just became all talk.”

“I’ll be quite frank with you — I didn’t know about Hunger Games — so when I’m telling kids and they say, ‘Who are you playing?’ and I say Cinna, they go, ‘Oh you’re playing the gay guy.’ That was an actual answer. I’ve never brought that up yet. That’s how they perceived it. So I thought about it, and I read the book and I don’t see that he is or isn’t [gay]. He’s a designer, he’s a stylist, he has gold eyeliner—that doesn’t mean anything either way.”

duh, obviously Cinna goes all ways. Cesar is the gay guy.

By their own description, this installation by Dutch desginers SpaceOperaForm sounds like sheer magic: Huge sheets of “thermally-bonded polypropylene filaments” hang from the ceiling at an old Austrian salt factory; and, as people walk between them, their own static charge causes the curtains to billow outwards, creating a “reactive experience” meant to explore “the phenomenological and visual affects of extreme weather conditions.”

The Arlington (TX) Police and Fire Departments and the Texas-based nonprofit a Wish with Wings joined forces to realize the dream of a young cancer patient who wanted nothing more than to become Batman for a day.
Officers and firefighters, assisted by the Mayor’s Office, organized various comic-inspired crimes around the city requiring the ass-kicking skills of a caped crusader.
Accompanied by police and Big Batman, 7-year-old Kye, who suffers from leukemia, roamed the streets of Arlington as Little Batman, mopping up an attempted bank robbery by the Joker, and putting the kibosh on a city hall bomb planted by the Riddler.
At the end of a long day of crime fighting, Kye was awarded the Key to the City by Assistant Police Chief James Hawthorne.

Television is an industrial process.

Lowell BergmanTV News Corrects Itself, Just Not on the Air - NYTimes.com

Nobody likes to eat crow in plain sight, especially in front of millions of viewers, but there are other imperatives at work. Lowell Bergman, who works for PBS and has done work for The New York Times, spent many years at ABC and then at “60 Minutes.” He said that part of the problem with corrective reporting on TV is that it pulls back the blankets on the apparatus. The omniscient anchor, the dashing correspondent — most of them are just the spigot for a news product manufactured by many others.
