Cedar Fair, the owner of Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, and Six Flags are merging to create an expansive amusement park operator with operations spread across 17 U.S. states and three countries. The combined company, worth more than $3.5 billion, will boast 27 amusement parks, 15 water parks and nine resort properties in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. It will also have entertainment partnerships and a portfolio of intellectual property including Looney Tunes, DC Comics and Peanuts. Amusement parks have seen an uptick in revenue but have struggled to raise attendance since the pandemic, even as other entertainment sectors have bounced back. A tie-up between two huge players is expected to at least lower costs.

A butch lesbian who came out early and with gusto; a singer/songwriter who started out a punk legend but embraced a more progressive folk; a sculptor with a gift for transforming paper and cardboard into charming, meaningful objects—Phranc is a rebellious spirit with a taste for the retro and nostalgic. A new exhibition at Craig Krull Gallery (Bergamot Station) examines the artist, musician, and one-time Tupperware Lady’s 40-year archive of multidisciplinary gestures of affection and activism.Phranc: Shirt & Tie, 2022 Kraft paper, gouache, thread, 33 x 35 x 3 in (Courtesy of Craig Krull Gallery)The Butch Closet aligns Phranc’s parallel pursuits in music and art, beginning from her twin stories of influence—studying at the Feminist Studio Workshop at The Woman’s Building in the mid-70s, while simultaneously cutting a major figure in the Los Angeles punk scene—and offering a more thorough examination of the overarching garment motif that continues to express in her visual art to t...A starfish’s body is ‘a head crawling along the seafloor’

By Ashley Strickland | CNNThe heads of most animals are easily identifiable, but scientists haven’t been able to say the same for sea stars until now.A starfish has five identical arms with a layer of “tube feet” beneath them that can help the marine creature move along the seafloor, causing naturalists to puzzle over whether sea stars have defined front and back ends — and if they have heads at all.But new genetic research suggests the opposite — that sea stars are largely heads that lack torsos or tails and likely lost those features evolutionarily over time.The researchers said the bizarre fossils of sea star ancestors, which appeared to have a kind of torso, make a lot more sense in evolutionary terms in light of the new findings.The findings were published Wednesday in the journal Nature.“It’s as if the sea star is completely missing a trunk, and is best described as just a head crawling along the seafloor,” said lead study author Laurent Formery, postdoctoral scholar at Stanfo...How the Michigan scandal could impact Pac-12 football, and what it says about the future of the sport

Although unprecedented in nature and riveting in detail, the Michigan sign-stealing controversy is unfolding thousands of miles from the Pac-12 footprint and easy for fans to follow on merely a cursory basis.After all, the conference’s only known connection to the spy ring is largely immaterial: Connor Stalions, Michigan’s suspended analyst, purchased tickets to the Oregon-Washington game last season in Eugene. (He then transferred the seats, which were on the visiting side of the stadium, to another individual.)While the Big Ten roils and NCAA investigators descend on Ann Arbor, the Pac-12 collectively has a playoff berth to secure, a Heisman Trophy to win, a legal battle to resolve and transition plans to make.There’s no reason for stakeholders to concern themselves with the actions of a disgraced analyst for a football program in another conference.Or is the Michigan mess worth more than a glance at the latest headlines?The Hotline is here to offer a counter-narrative: There’s a ...Green Day announce huge concert lineup for latest stadium tour
