Judy Collins on Doing a Farewell Tour While ‘Having a Lot More Steam in My Engine’: At 87, ‘I’m the Betty White of the Folk Movement’

How sweet — or suite — it still is. Judy Collins is doing a valedictory lap or two around the country on what is billed as a farewell tour, even though, at 87, she’s showing little in the way of weariness about maintaining a full concert schedule or lack of prowess in pulling these shows off. “It’s time” is the fullest explanation she’ll give about why it might be time to think about slowing down her schedule. In the meantime, there is a long way to go on her “Sweet Judy Blue Eyes Farewell Tour 2026-2027,” named for the song pal Stephen Stills wrote to celebrate her almost six decades go.

Trump Begs Supreme Court to Rescue His Precious Ballroom

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Friday that construction must stop on the president's vanity project

There’s a concept in sports called “working the refs.” Basically, it means whining, moaning, and complaining so that you get better calls. Maybe some wheedling, maybe even some good old-fashioned palling around. The only times it’s really, truly effective, however, are when the refs are already on your side, for reasons fair or foul. 

Olivia Rodrigo Debuts ‘Pretty Sad’ Songs at Sweltering Brooklyn Surprise Show: Concert Review

The announcement dropped on a pulverizingly humid Thursday afternoon in New York City: just a few hours later, an Olivia Rodrigo surprise gig would take place at Brooklyn’s intimate, 1,100-capacity venue Warsaw. The expected mad dash for tickets — only available at the venue’s box office — ensued, with fans lining up in heat that was technically 91 degrees but with a “real feel” of 105. But of course, the venue was packed long before the 8 p.m. showtime, even though it was just as hot inside.  

These Recently Retired LEGO Sets Are Still Available at Amazon, But Not for Long

The best time to buy a LEGO set is usually right before it retires. It's around this time that retailers start offering discounts to unload older stock and make room for newer builds. But if you miss that window, the next best time to buy a set is right after it retires. You're unlikely to find any sort of discount, but you can often still find popular sets at MSRP outside of the LEGO Store.

Call it Netflix and still.

A man is seemingly trapped inside a Netflix billboard above Sunset Boulevard.

The potential traffic-stopping (or perhaps even accident-causing) sight is a marketing stunt for the streamer’s new thriller The Last House.

Big Walk Is Unlike Any Other Co-op Game Around, Pushing You to Solve Clever Puzzles With Your Friends by Truly Working Together

To know something's name is to understand it — at least just a little, be it the thing itself, or the world around it. In Big Walk, there are lots of things yet unnamed. You will certainly recognize trees, mountains, that dang cowbell. But there are plenty of things you won’t: the red, peanut-shaped objects my group calls a bean, which makes the structures they must be delivered to the bean towers. To us, the underground tunnel system is the backrooms, and the glowing medicine balls that light paths throughout the world are simply orbs – but not to be confused with the Big Orb, a mysterious and ominous structure looming in the distance. Big Walk is a co-op-only puzzle adventure that relies heavily on shared experience, shared language. Its genius lies in how it pushes you to decipher the logic behind the clever puzzles spread around its open world in a way that only you and your companions will understand. With all the twists and limitations it imposes, it’s unlike any other multiplayer game out there.

‘Gentle Monster’ Scared Most Actors Away. Léa Seydoux Embraced the Challenge

Coming off of the success of Corsage, an irreverent take on the 19th-century costume drama, Marie Kreutzer found that few were even entertaining the pitch for her next movie. The film was Gentle Monster, an examination of the wreckage brought upon a modern middle-class family after its patriarch, Philip, is accused of distributing and possessing child sex abuse material. “I was aware that this was a tough subject, and obviously it was difficult every step of the way with financing,” says the Austrian filmmaker. “Some actors — most of them — just told me directly that it’s too heavy material for them.”

Brave Male Country Fans Admit to Liking Music by Women: Meet ‘Ella’s Fellas’

Welcome, Fellas

What’s behind the phenomenon of men who love Ella Langley so much they need a name to do it publicly?

What can’t Ella Langley do? She’s co-written and recorded the song of the summer, broken chart records left and right, and helped usher in full-on country domination. But she’s also accomplished one seemingly herculean feat — helping male country fans admit in public that they like listening to music made by women. (A round of applause for men, please! It’s been a long road, but we always knew you could do it.)
