Leading off, this is quite a story: A Prominent Accessibility Advocate Worked With Studios and Inspired Change. But She Never Actually Existed.
This is an excellent (and disturbing) read: The Mysterious, Meteoric Rise of Shein.
From C. Lee (more from him later), an absolutely majestic read: I … Am Herman Melville! : Sam Weller details the tempestuous collaboration of Ray Bradbury and John Huston on the production of the 1956 movie “Moby Dick.”
From Wally, and it's so many Star Wars figures: Hasbro Pulse Con 2024 – Star Wars Panel Recap. I'd probably wind up not using 155 pieces of it: Costco's Viral 157-Piece Le Creuset Set Is Finally Back In Stock.
From C. Lee, and it's an excellent read: Constitutional law scholar Kim Wehle explains how the pardon system works.
