Ah yes, the perfect casting. We’re not sure in what universe, but, we could see it. Somehow. Hot on the heels of the 76th Annual Emmy nominations getting announced this morning, American culinary treasure Alton Brown has his sites set on a nominee to play him in a yet-to-be biopic-Star and Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Emmy nominee, Matt Berry. If you haven’t watched FX’s hilarious vampirical comedy “What We Do In The Shadows,” you’ve been missing out.

He has vowed to move the headquarters of social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and SpaceX from California to Texas. X’s main offices will move from San Francisco to Austin, and SpaceX from Hawthorne to Starbase, TX.This move was prompted by Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) signing a new law that bars school districts in CA from notifying parents of a child’s gender identification change.
