She’s trying to convince you she’s a fan of Toy Story because she did a song for the franchise and shows you old home movies of a girl (presumably her) dressed like a cowgirl which looks nothing like Jessie. Taylor Swift was singing around the time Toy Story 2 came out which is when Jessie appeared. Taylor on cares about Toy Story because she’s being paid like everything else in her life. Not knocking the hustle but she’s full of shit on this one…in my opinion.

[Taylor Swift @taylorswift13]

Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.

Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

The Alpha Countdown will not air this Saturday we had an issue with the voting system and people were sending nothing but AI songs. We’re going to rebuild it and bring it back as soon as we can. Until then no show.

[Nick B. @NickBTalks]

“Kickin’ it” and “The Alpha Countdown” will return next week with new live episodes. Vacation is almost over then we’ll be back!

[Nick B. @NickBTalks]

💯!!! We’re back live June 1 2026 after a short break see y’all Monday 9a central!

While I get what he is alluding to here a Mac will always do what I expect it to do a windows might not. Operationally a Mac is far superior and I use both in my day to day work but the Mac far out performs the windows every time.

Kevin O'Leary says Apple's genius is making people pay 5x more for a laptop they could buy for $350

"you can buy an Apple laptop, average price about $1,800, or you can buy the same functionality for $350 on a Windows laptop"

"but you still pay $1,800. Why? Brand"

"you're paying a 5x multiple in some cases for something that is exactly like a Windows machine"

"I put that out to people, they say, yeah, but it's not an Apple. So there is the genius of Jobs"

This is GREAT except I would keep hedge funds and big radio out of it but they won’t.

This is wrong on so many levels…when my show Nicks Take (@ItsNicksTake) returns next week (hopefully), we will be going over this extensively.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸 Trump found one of the strangest loopholes imaginable: sue the U.S. government, then settle the case with your own administration.

He filed a lawsuit over the IRS tax leak, and his own Justice Department later negotiated the settlement while he was now president.

Buried inside the deal was reportedly immunity from around $100 million in tax liability.

Trump even joked about it: “I’m supposed to work out a settlement with myself.”

The real issue is that every side of the transaction allegedly answered to the same person: the plaintiff, the executive branch being sued, the Justice Department approving the settlement, and the Treasury paying for it.

While I believe the President may have put pressure on the new owners, I think they would have made the decision based on him costing them so much money. He was allegedly offered the show at a lesser pay sort of like Jay Leno but refused. If he had taken less money, there’s a good chance his show would still be on. Now we’re stuck with Byron Allen bullshit. Stephen was a snob, and he shamed those that didn’t get vax, but he was unapologetically Catholic. He’ll be fine; it’s his staff that will be out of work.

‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ has officially ended after 11 years after being cancelled by CBS.

[Nick B. @NickBTalks]

This is a much better image than some I have seen. This is much better!!! My whole complaint was she is a beautiful woman but many of the pictures I saw it looked like that worked to ensure she wasn’t which I didn’t like. I am holding my review for the movie but Elliot* Page I feel is gonna ruin this film.

New look at Lupita Nyong’o as Clytemnestra in ‘The Odyssey.’ (via ELLE)

In theatres on July 17.

Who cares it’s 2026 this isn’t a big deal.

Why is it that there are some in government that have never done anything or built anything want to take from someone that has? Bernie is also lying with the 5% it wouldn’t stop there. If government lowered taxes (taxation is theft) and got out the markets way to everything he talks about would be taken care of. Bezos also went years without while building. Tax the guys that are actually building something isn’t the way. How about we penalize those in Congress every year their constituents are below the poverty or a stage earning line and give term limits to two flat with no chamber jumps.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate.

Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd:

-Give $12K to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60K

And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.

So stupid.

[Complex Pop Culture @ComplexPop]

A new 'Godfather' film is officially in the works.

54 years after the original was released.

[Nick B. @NickBTalks]

True but the source material gives descriptions on the characters. I don’t doubt she will kill it but her beauty should shine through and they dumbed down her own beauty in my opinion that’s what I don’t like.

[Variety @Variety]

Lupita Nyong’o addresses the racist backlash to her casting as Helen of Troy in “The Odyssey,” after some critics called Christopher Nolan a “coward” for not casting a white actress:

“This is a mythological story,” Nyong’o said in an interview. "I’m very supportive of Chris’ intention with it and with the version of this story that he is telling. Our cast is representative of the world. I’m not spending my time thinking of a defense. The criticism will exist whether I engage with it or not.”

Nyong’o said her interpretation of the character goes deeper than her beauty. “You can’t perform beauty,” she said. “I want to know who a character is. What is beyond beauty? What is beyond looks? That’s the thing about doing such a well-known text, which has been studied and interpreted and derived from. The research could be endless. The good thing about working with a writer like Chris is that it’s on the page. The investigation starts with the pages you’re given. That’s what I based it on.”

A good write up…lots of good points. Still don’t think he should have been fired because the President requested it business wise okay but from a request of the President nope.

[USA TODAY @USATODAY]

Opinion: The “Late Show” finally goes dark, years after Stephen Colbert drove away those who don't see the world the way he sees it. 

I'm glad to see him go. https://t.co/snjfpoOtFN

[Nick B. @NickBTalks]

There will be no live show tomorrow and Kickin it and The Countdown will be replays. Yall have a great weekend!!!

[Nick B. @NickBTalks]

One of the biggest fuck ups in TV history.

Here's to Stephen Colbert, a man of great integrity and wit. Onward, friend, to bigger and better things.

I’m going to call it they will be a person of color and probably gender fluid. Just wait.
