    “People Just Don’t Care”: ‘Leaving Neverland’ Director on Why Michael Jackson Won the Court of Public Opinion
    https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/leaving-neverland-michael-jackson-dan-reed-1236571986/
    Seven years after his explosive HBO doc, Dan Reed watches Hollywood cash in on a man he calls "worse than Jeffrey Epstein" with the biopic 'Michael' — and explains why nobody seems to mind. Jackson’s streaming numbers are up, MJ the Musical is a Broadway juggernaut, and Lionsgate’s Michael — a biopic helmed by Training Day director Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson, Jackson’s own nephew, as the pop superstar — is tracking to be one of the year’s biggest box-office hits. Leaving Neverland, meanwhile, has quietly vanished from HBO after a legal settlement with the Jackson estate. With Michael set to open on nearly 4,000 screens, Reed called The Hollywood Reporter from the U.K. to discuss the ethical ramifications behind the blockbuster machinery of music biopics.

    The Kicker: Taking back Saturday.
    https://www.cjr.org/kicker/spencer-hall-every-day-should-be-saturday-holly-anderson-blog-vox-channel-6.php
    I have a galaxy-brained theory that the most effective fundraisers in the country aren’t politicians or the heads of major foundations, but a pair of Atlanta-based college football bloggers. Two decades ago, Spencer Hall—best known as the creator of Every Day Should Be Saturday, a site covering college football with a mix of analytical skills and many inside jokes—decided to raise money for refugees in the Atlanta area. Hall had worked for a refugee services organization before pivoting to writing, so he put out the call to his readers and raised a few thousand dollars. After a couple of years of this, he and Holly Anderson, his fellow blogger, had an idea: Why not use college football rivalries to raise even more money? There’s nothing fans love more than destroying their most hated opponent, they figured, so they’d make the fundraiser a competition. Fans began donating in honor of their favorite team, often choosing the amount based on a significant number, like the score of a big game. The #CharitibundiBowl was born. The fundraiser continued after Vox Media bought Every Day Should Be Saturday, and after Hall and Anderson left the company, in 2020. To say their plan worked would be a comic understatement. Last year, Hall and Anderson—who now run a subscription-based college football site called Channel 6—raised more than 1.3 million dollars for New American Pathways, becoming its largest nongovernmental source of funds. The 2026 event, which runs through this weekend, crossed the million-dollar mark Wednesday evening.

    Archaeologists Find Iliad “Catalog of Ships” Papyrus Inside Egyptian Mummy
    https://arkeonews.net/archaeologists-find-iliad-catalog-of-ships-papyrus-inside-egyptian-mummy/
    Archaeologists working at the ancient site of Oxyrhynchus in Egypt’s Minya Governorate have uncovered a Roman-era burial that combines rare funerary objects with an unexpected literary find: a papyrus fragment from Homer’s Iliad concealed inside a mummy. A Spanish-Egyptian excavation team working at the ancient site of Oxyrhynchus (modern-day El-Bahnasa) has uncovered a Roman-era necropolis containing mummies adorned with golden tongue amulets. The discovery was announced by Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, highlighting it as one of the most significant recent finds in Middle Egypt. The excavation was led by researchers from the University of Barcelona and the Institute of the Ancient Near East, under the direction of Dr. Maite Mascort and Dr. Esther Pons Mellado.
