You don't have to give up Harry Potter to quit J.K. RowlingI genuinely feel for younger people, who will never have the pleasure of experiencing the unproblematic version of Rowling and her novels. For millennials and Gen Z kids like mine, there was once a golden era when you could just daydream all day about getting your invitation to Hogwarts without any …

"We know how cruel and harsh the world is" is not necessarily a statement you'd expect to hear from Randall Park. In a career spanning from the YouTube cult classic "Ikea Heights" to a breakout cameo on "The Office," through "Fresh Off the Boat," "Always Be My Maybe" and his recurring presence as Agent Jimmy Woo in the MCU, Park has consistently proven himself one of the most reliably affable actors in entertainment.

Arts & Entertainment Community Shortly after the holidays, I started thinking about my upcoming Day Tripper stories. Day trips in the middle of winter are always a bit of a challenge. For the past couple of years, I’ve worked really hard to resist the urge to honor my inner recluse (who works hand in hand with my inner couch potato) and just stay at home from the first of the year until April showers are over.

"The hardest part was really trying to pretend to be straight," Tan France said of his new role in the new darkly comedic Hulu series "Deli Boys," where he plays a Cockney gangster with a flair for violence. Yet, the "Queer Eye" star is also talking about the first several years of his life.

Arts & Entertainment Community Oddly, I thought it would be a good idea to visit Wright Park in the dead of winter. It is, after all, close to home so I didn’t have to factor in a whole lot of winter driving or after-dark travel time. I should not have committed to spending a whole lot of time outside when temperatures were hovering in the 30s and the forecast was for nearly constant rain.

Arts & Entertainment Community Everyone knows where Tacoma’s Stadium District is. Just look for the castle with a superlative view of the mountains and sound that doubles as a high school. And most people know where Tacoma’s Museum District is — between about 15th and 21st Streets on both sides of Pacific Avenue. But what about the area between these districts?

PERRY COUNTY —Baby, it is COLD outside — and not in a fun way. Now that the holidays have passed, most folks are ready for a de-thaw; there are few of us left who relish in this frigid air. Perry County saw more snow in one week than it did in the past decade, temperatures plummeted, ice fell from the sky in a hauntingly familiar fashion — and some residents lost power on the coldest nights of the year thus far. We see it in our daily routines.

A major safety concern for the citizens of Laguna Beach. Most of the residential streets in Laguna have no streetlights and no sidewalks. After dusk, this lack poses very real danger to people walking, your pets and all bicycle riders. For some unknown reason, almost everyone walking around out there is wearing black. I realize that while black may be thought chic, one simply becomes invisible to drivers in this situation. This makes it terrifying for everyone.

If, instead of becoming an actor, Allison Tolman had become a nurse, you would have wanted her to be your nurse. As Alex on NBC's new hit mockumentary sitcom "St. Denis Medical," the Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated performer plays a dedicated and conscience-driven health care worker. And in real life, she's equally firm in her convictions and confident in her skill.
