Elephanticide

On the side of the deconsecrated church of Sant'Antonin in Castello, there is something which looks like an odd bricked up opening, but it doesn't really look like a window nor a doorway.

The opening was made on March 16th, 1819, with the permission of the Patriarch, because of a slight problem with an elephant.

Beep beep beep! Is that the sound of the Apple TV+ money truck backing up to Jason Sudeikis's house? It must be, because the "Ted Lasso" star/co-creator has just confirmed a fourth series of the hit show. He told Jason and Travis Kelce on their New Heights podcast that Ted would be coaching a women's team this time round. Producers Warner Bros. TV picked up options for Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins) last year in anticipation of the renewal, while Juno Temple (Keeley) and Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard) are in negotiations to return. Here's @THR with all the details. What do you think? Are you excited for the return of the show?

"The show also takes an irreverent look at the expectations heaped onto the shoulders of the children of immigrants, who are sometimes expected to live a version of the 'American Dream' that just doesn’t feel possible anymore. It somehow manages to deftly navigate turning heavy issues like racism, assimilation, and Islamophobia into the butt of many jokes."

An update on the deaths of Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife, pianist Betsy Arakawa. Arakawa died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a virus often found in rodents, and Hackman died around a week later due to "hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with Alzheimer's disease as a significant contributory factor," NBC News reports.

June 1968. Should the government extend its two-year experiment with local radio? In his Illustrated London News article, Michael Billington concluded “no” because local radio could lead to greater comment about less and less.

Legit my favourite character and actor in Si Jin right now. He's carrying the entire show on his little furry shoulders, I swear.

I thought I'd like #SiJin right off the bat for Zhang Wanyi reasons, but alas, the first episode was a mess because the editing was a mess and the writers or director thought it wasn't necessary to establish our characters in the first episode. Instead, we were shown a cascade of events that made our heads spin. We weren't given any anchor to really care for the characters.

I think if it was set up like Blossom, whose writers lovingly set up our characters in such a way that we're invested in their second lives, I would've been kinder.

I'll give it a few more episodes...but I'm having trouble focusing lol
