But it turns out the Zoomers are growing far more conservative than the conventional wisdom ever deemed possible.

The Eagles have announced an exciting residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, featuring eight shows over four weekends from September 20 to October 19. A few months ago, there were reports that this was in the works, and now it has become official. We are all getting older, and this could possibly be the last chance to see what’s left of the Eagles. Just a month ago, I went to see the Rolling Stones for the first time in my life, guided by that same philosophy. I’m glad I did, as it was such a spectacular show.

News house of the dragon House of the Dragon Will Roar On in a Third Season The announcement comes right before the premiere of season two. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on June 13, 2024 Credit: Ollie Upton/HBO Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Ollie Upton/HBO Here’s some unsurprising news: HBO has officially greenlit House of the Dragon for a third season. The announcement comes just a couple of days before season two of the show premieres on HBO and starts streaming on Max. House of the Dragon is the first spinoff from HBO’s Game of Thrones and takes place 200 years before the events of the original show. Both are based on the works of George R.R. Martin, with Ryan Condal helming the latest series, which stars Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, and Olivia Cooke, among many others. “George, Ryan, and the rest of our incredible executive producers, cast, and crew, have reached new heights with the phenomenal second season,” HBO’s programming and drama series chief Francesca Orsi said in a statement. “We are in awe of the dragon-sized effort the entire team has put into the creation of a spectacular season two, with a scope and scale that is only rivaled by its heart. We could not be more thrilled to continue the story of House Targaryen and watch this team burn bright again for Season Three.” House of the Dragon has become one of HBO’s most successful series. The first season averaged 29 million views per episode and season two has already gotten a largely positive response from critics, and currently has an 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes. For those looking for even more television viewing experiences in the Game of Thrones world, don’t fret. House of the Dragon will soon be joined by many, many other Game of Thrones spinoffs, including potentially Ten Thousand Ships, a show based on Princess Nymeria that Martin just shared has been revitalized with a new scriptwriter on board. In the meantime, season two of House of the Dragon premiers June 16, 2024 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and streaming on Max.

News Blade Runner 2099 Blade Runner 2099: Hunter Schafer Joins Michelle Yeoh in Dystopian Series The Euphoria alum will costar alongside Michelle Yoeh. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on June 13, 2024 Screenshot: Lionsgate Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Lionsgate Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner sequel series is plowing ahead. Last month, we found out that Michelle Yoeh would star in the show as a Replicant named Olwen. And today, we got news of another actor joining the call sheet. According to Variety, Hunter Schafer (Euphoria and The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, pictured above) has joined the production as Yeoh’s co-star. We don’t have any news yet, however, on who her character will be. We also don’t know anything much about the plot of the series, other than it takes place in a universe where Scott’s Blade Runner and Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 are canon. (And, as the titles reveal, that Blade Runner 2099 takes place 50 years after Villeneuve’s film.) Silka Luisa, whose previous credits include showrunning Shining Girls and writing on Paramount+’s Halo adaptation, is the showrunner and an executive producer on Blade Runner 2099. While we don’t have details on who Hunter will play, her recent performances promise that she will bring something inspired to the series. In addition to her Euphoria role and playing Tigris Snow in The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, she is also in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Kinds of Kindness and the horror thriller Cuckoo, where she co-stars with Dan Stevens. No news yet on when the show will go into production, much less make its way to Prime Video.

An Ohio news station employee was fired for posting a joke about “straight pride” in response to LGBTQ Pride Month in June. “Celebrate straight pride,” the posts says. “It’s natural, it has worked for thousands of years, and you can make babies!” Madonna Chism Pinkard posted this joke during Pride Month. (Photo: “The MLO Bros” Facebook page) Madonna Chism Pinkard had worked as the WFMJ TV station’s community relations director,  in Youngstown, Ohio, since 2004. The Facebook account of podcast “MLO Bros” posted about the meme she shared, and Chism Pinkard commented “Thanks for getting me fired.” The screenshot posted by the “MLO Bros” appears to show it was posted on Chism Pinkard’s personal Facebook account, although WFMJ said her post was “on a company-linked social media site.” The TV station affiliated with NBC issued a statement on June 11 confirming that it fired Chism Pinkard. WFMJ declined to comment to The Daily Signal. “WFMJ has terminated the employment of our Community Relations Director following her unauthorized post on a company-linked social media site last week,” the station said in a Facebook post. “WFMJ is committed to serving our entire community with the respect we believe all people deserve. We recognize we live in a diverse community with differing views on many topics, and we believe discussions of those views and reporting on them should be done in a respectful manner by all. We deeply regret that our Community Relations Director crossed the line.” “We do not condone such actions and apologize to you, our viewers, for this unauthorized post,” the statement continued. Chism Pinkard deleted the post and said “I apologize for the post that offended one of our viewers. I have removed it.” Chism Pinkard did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by time of publication. Commenters on MLO Bros’ Facebook post about Chism Pinkard said her termination over the “straight pride” joke violated her First Amendment right to free speech. “Freedom of speech does not apply to those who disagree with the insane culture that has developed in this country,” a Facebook user named Michael Goterba said. “I’m gay and find that hilarious,” commenter Joey P. Ritter wrote. The post Local TV Employee Fired for ‘Straight Pride’ Post appeared first on The Daily Signal.

The Department of Education has given the Left dangerous power over schooling in the U.S., and the next president should aim to abolish the nearly 45-year-old federal agency.  So says Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts on this week’s edition of his podcast, “The Kevin Roberts Show.” Roberts, himself a former K-12 and college educator, made the case for abolishing the Cabinet-level department in an interview with podcast co-host Tim Kennedy. Roberts called that policy goal his “life’s work.”  “The Department of Education got it wrong on the first minute of its existence in 1979,” he contended, “because it is such a terrible idea to centralize or attempt to centralize education policy, education funding, [and] curriculum questions.”  The department was created near the end of the Carter administration at the behest of the teachers unions. Roberts said “radical” professors like those he once knew as colleagues became the administrators” of the Education Department. “What happened in the intervening generation or two is that American culture deteriorated,” he added.  “We’ve spent several trillion dollars as a people on public education” at the federal level, Roberts added, only to find that “every demographic group in public education has seen their educational attainment decline.”  Roberts, who taught college-level history in Texas and founded a private, coed Catholic K-12 school in Louisiana, told Kennedy that “education should be as local as it possibly can be” and that funding should follow individual students.  “If you’re not interested in dismantling the Department of Education, Heritage doesn’t think you should be running for president,” he said.  Watch the full episode of “The Kevin Roberts Show” for an inside look at the foundation’s education agenda.
