"If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die. Death with dignity is surely a better fate for the genre than fascist capitulation." Zero stars for this piece of shit movie. My review of ONE NIGHT ONLY for @ebertvoices.bsky.social
One Night Only review: Pull out from this sex-negative rom-com
If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die.

My 24-year-old cousin with a motif for our times.
My mom died of colon cancer. For pete's sake, (as she would have said) get your fucking regular colonoscopy. If you're lucky and your mom didn't die of colon cancer it's only once every ten years. It could save your life.
Well, I am of colonoscopy age now and I got my first-ever one yesterday. The prep wasn't fun but not as awful as I'd imagined. My appt was at 6am on Monday, I was home just after 7am. There's no recovery except catching up on the sleep you missed. So, if you need a nudge to get yours, this is it!

Silicon Valley startups are obsessed with developing tech to replace their moms
Thank you, moms, for all of the wonderful tech companies you've clearly inspired.

I wish I could properly attribute this, but I heard someone say in an interview something like, 'pay attention to the new technologies that techbros develop, and you'll see how they're just trying to create a mom they control' And we know how these dudes pick "partners" so...
"If something is dead, then you have no choice but to buy the new products or buy-in to the new technologies."

We’re also funding death squads but what’s really offensive is that somewhere out there a poor person might be able to eat
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
I think it also revealed just how quickly a bunch of otherwise very hard problems can be to solve with global collective action. The fuckin Ganga was running clear water for the only time in my lifetime because for 2 weeks nobody threw garbage in it. The canals in Venice had fish.
Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

We were in the sex panel and there was a tornado so we had to move across the hall to the improv panel.
It really really really bugs me how many people simply do not understand what it means when the government tries to convict you even IF THEY FAIL TO DO IT. Do you know how many thousands of dollars in legal fees it costs? You will most likely lose your job. You might lose your home.
Alex Vindman won't debate Angie Nixon, is out here AVOIDING questions, isn't a Floridian, and now his wife is posting a racist dogwhistle. If you're in a blue state and looking to help great candidates in other states check out Angie Nixon who is running for Florida Senator.
