Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 17:35:38 GMT

By ANDREW DALTON (AP Entertainment Writer)LOS ANGELES (AP) — HBO dominated Wednesday morning’s Emmy nominations, with the elite trio of “ Succession,” “The White Lotus” and “The Last of Us” combining for a whopping 74, but the dominant theme darkening the scene is the ongoing writers strike and the looming possibility that actors may join them in as little as a day.“Succession” and its deeply dysfunctional dynasty of one-percenters led all Emmy nominees in its fourth and final season with 27, including best drama, which it has won two of the past three years. It got three nominations for best actor in a drama, with Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin all getting nods for playing men of the Roy clan, and Sarah Snook getting a best actress nomination. It also got four nominations for best supporting actor in a drama.The cursed vacationers at a Sicilian resort from the second of “The White Lotus” truly domin...

Yes, people of Toronto, this amazing Canadian band is still together

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 17:35:38 GMT

The Cowboy Junkies have one of the best music catalogs of the last 40 years, filled with more a dozen studio albums that have only grown more intriguing and impressive over time.The Canadian band remains best-known for the 1988 major-label debut “The Trinity Session,” a lo-fi gem that mixes country, rock, folk and pop in ways that absolutely astound, and includes the album’s signature cover of Lou Reed’s “Sweet Jane.”The Junkies went on to release a number of popular offerings in the ‘90s — including “Caution Horses” and “Lay It Down” — but then began to fade from the public’s eye as they rolled into the new millennium.That did not, however, stop them from putting out great music. Indeed, their post-‘90s material — from 2001’s “Open” to 2007’s “At the End of Paths Taken” to 2018’s “All That Reckoning” — have arguably been the strongest of their entire career.The run of amazing artistic success continues with the band’s newly released full-length album “Such F...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 17:35:38 GMT

Consumer prices in the Bay Area rose at a much slower pace in June than in prior periods, a sign that the brutally high inflation rate of the last two years has begun to cool off — finally — the government reported Wednesday.The Bay Area cost of living rose 2.9% in June on a yearly basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. That was the smallest annual increase for the region’s inflation rate in more than two years.In February 2021, consumer prices rose 1.6% on a yearly basis.The peak for the current bout of sky-high consumer prices appears to have occurred in June 2022, when the Bay Area inflation rate skyrocketed by 6.8%.Since then, the successive reports for the inflation rate in the Bay Area showed an overall trend for steadily smaller annual increases in the pace of inflation.But there’s one key caveat to assessing the June pace of inflation. The current price levels are still far higher than in recent years.Two examples: June’s consumer ...
