Adored TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA, which I saw in a packed house there for every minute of this movie. Gillian Anderson is understandably and deservedly getting lots of attention (she has the flashier role) but good God is Hannah Einbinder utterly fearless here.
Fifteen years ago, in the classroom, wikipedia was annoying because it was hard to describe to kids who relied on it why it wasn't a good source to cite in a paper. Now, it's the final remaining example of citational responsibility any of them have ever seen.
Lowkey excellent thing about Wikipedia: accurately describing the extremism and lies of right-wingers because its sole concern is provable truth, while the media tiptoes around accurately describing whats happening to avoid appearing “biased” against the extremists and liars
If you're going to put advertisements on the outfield fence at the Field of Dreams game, they should be for products available in 1919. Like Borax, nerve tonics, and cocaine.
People will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. "We won't mind if you look around," you'll say. "It's only $20 per person. Plus you can get $50 in free bets when you sign up for an account."

what if i do not want to be optimized. what if i want to make mistakes because that’s how you learn; what if i want to do nothing sometimes, what if i want a world that is weird and challenging and has mysteries left to reveal. what if i like taking the long way
Kodai Senga just got the save in yet another high-scoring Mets win over the Atlanta Braves. Baseball seasons are so, so long.
Every year, the same dedicated Duran Duran fans set up by Seattle Center for Duran Duran Day. Almost every year our paths cross. I'm always happy to see them. #DuranDuran
Hamilton famously said of himself, "I'll be remembered as a third-rate actor when in fact, I'm a first-rate con man."

Loved THE SAMURAI AND THE PRISONER (2026), which felt like it was made specifically for me. Kiyoshi Kurosawa's adaptation of Honobu Yonezawa's novel is both a historical epic and a series of impossible crime stories. Like THRONE OF BLOOD as told by Nero Wolfe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZKK...

Doing laundry and again thought of the Dennis Hopper profile I read years ago in which Hopper asked the reporter if he knew anything about clothes dryers and the reporter showed him the clogged lint trap and Hopper was amazed and grateful. That details has haunted me for decades.

Saying it again: every day there are multiple stories that would be featured in the news broadcast in the opening scene of an apocalyptic thriller.
Breaking News: Scientists have used A.I. to create new viruses for the first time, raising hopes for medical advances while also raising the possibility that the technology could someday be used to invent dangerous pathogens.
Got to revisit this in 35mm last night thanks to @siffnews.bsky.social's a-little-too-timely Cold War Summer series.
