MICROBUS’ ECO-FRIENDLY UPDATE & SPANISH PETS

Volkswagen’s iconic “Microbus” is getting an eco-friendly update, starting March 9. The new electric van looks like the classic versions from the ‘50s-’80s, and was originally announced back in 2017. It’ll potentially hit the road in 2023.

Good news for Spanish pets! A new law in Spain treats pets like family members in divorce negotiations. It “obliges judges to consider pets as sentient beings rather than objects owned by one or the other partner.” This follows recent cases in the country, like a Madrid judge giving joint custody of a dog to a separated couple. And further proves that Paulette in LEGALLY BLONDE was way ahead of her time. 

Billboard reported Wednesday that Kanye West will headline Sunday night at Coachella with a version of his Sunday Service gospel show. Billie Eilish is rumored to also headline, with the two of them replacing Travis Scott and Rage Against The Machine—who were previously slated to headline 2020—and Frank Ocean, who’s now set to headline in 2023. 

My favorite videos I’ve seen this week are this one, where Hugh Jackman takes the time to explain to an audience just how hard fellow Broadway performer Kathy Voytko worked, and this one which proves there are truly only two types of people in the world.
