The Living Tombstone Party at the Roxy

Published Sat, 15 Feb 2025 22:41:59 GMT

The Living Tombstone Party at the Roxy: At the recommendation of this writer’s young son, we interviewed the Living Tombstone a year ago and 50% of the project, Sam Haft, told us that, “We treat this as a very structured full-time job, and in spite of the fact that now we have moved into the music industry formally instead of just being on YouTube, we still operate in that DIY fashion. Other artists get very surprised at how much we do ourselves. We almost act like our own creative agency. It’s been a DIY operation since Day One, and that’s how we’re most comfortable working.”The Living Tombstone might be a DIY project, but it’s a damned successful one. On Sunday night at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip, two days before Halloween, the venue was full to bursting with hyperpop fans who were simply determined to have a great time. Rarely has a crowd looked this good, decked out in costumes from their favorite anime and/or cartoon. Further, songs played over the PA betwee...

Western states look to these lands for new affordable housing

Published Sat, 15 Feb 2025 22:41:59 GMT

Alex Brown | (TNS) Stateline.orgIn Colorado’s Eagle County, affordable housing is so scarce that school district leaders have pleaded with locals to open their spare bedrooms to teachers — citing the impossibility of hiring when employees have nowhere to live.Home to popular ski resorts in Vail and Avon, the county has seen much of its housing snatched up for vacation homes and rentals. And it’s lacking areas suitable for new development.But state leaders think a new approach could help, both with the crisis in Eagle County and the housing shortage throughout the state. They’re aiming to turn a 3.5-acre tract owned by the State Land Board into 80 units of affordable housing. And they’re working to identify other state lands that could be developed in regions with critical housing needs.“Colorado has a lot of land that’s under state ownership that is either sitting completely vacant or being underutilized in really key areas that could be suitable for workforce housing development,” ...

Diplomatic, military leaders urge Congress to fund Israel, Ukraine

Published Sat, 15 Feb 2025 22:41:59 GMT

By Mary Clare Jalonick | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The nation’s top military and diplomatic leaders urged an increasingly divided Congress on Tuesday to send major immediate aid to Israel and Ukraine, arguing at a Senate hearing that broad support for the assistance would signal U.S. strength to adversaries worldwide.The testimony from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken came as the administration’s massive $105 billion emergency aid request for conflicts in the two countries encountered roadblocks.While there is bipartisan support in the Democratic-led Senate for aid to both Ukraine and Israel, the request faces deep problems in the Republican-led House. New Speaker Mike Johnson has proposed focusing on Israel alone, and slashing money for the Internal Revenue Service to pay for it.As the congressional divisions deepen, Blinken and Austin warned that the consequences of failing to help Ukraine in its war with Russia and Israel as it s...

How ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ went from cult classic to beloved Disney property

Published Sat, 15 Feb 2025 22:41:59 GMT

By Scottie Andrew | CNN“The Nightmare Before Christmas” is, today, a proud Disney property. You can find its spindly hero Jack Skellington across Disneyland during Halloween and Christmastime, and his skeletal smile adorns everything from pillowcases to backpacks to Build-a-Bear stuffed creatures. It’s one of the company’s most unique artistic achievements and a proven moneymaker, even 30 years on.In 1993, though, a Halloween-Christmas film hybrid starring a slightly demented but well-meaning skeleton in a bat bowtie who nearly gets Santa killed was no easy sell. Worried the film would frighten young viewers used to “The Little Mermaid” and “Aladdin,” Disney released the film under its Touchstone Pictures banner, reserved for titles with more mature themes than standard Disney fare (a few years earlier, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” got the same treatment).The film made a modest box office dent upon release. But many viewers who found the film over the years, usually on home video, appr...

FBI director: Antisemitism at ‘historic level’ in the US

Published Sat, 15 Feb 2025 22:41:59 GMT

By Hannah Rabinowitz | CNNFBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday that antisemitism is reaching “historic levels” in the United States.“This is a threat that is reaching, in some way, sort of historic levels,” Wray said during a Senate hearing Tuesday. The FBI director said that was in part because “the Jewish community is targeted by terrorists really across the spectrum” including homegrown violent extremists, foreign terrorist organizations, and domestic violent extremists.“In fact, our statistics would indicate that for a group that represents only about 2.4% of the American public, they account for something like 60% of all religious-based hate crimes,” Wray said of the Jewish American population.Wray said that the FBI is tackling the rise in antisemitism through a series of law enforcement efforts including joint terrorism task forces, hate crime investigations, and intelligence sharing.“This is not a time for panic, but it is a time for vigilance,” Wray said addressing pub...
