Oh, this is very sad! People will have one more chance to see Stewart--as her warm and funny self--in the upcoming HBO documentary Pee-wee as Himself (don't miss it). RIP to a truly sweet presence.

Per the rules, Canada gets Minnesota.

Twitter is state media and I recommend deleting it.

we are rapidly turning into the kind of small minded authoritarian country that is given a made-up name in an action thriller

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

This goes for any form of media. Movies, books, music…don’t rely on scores. Read what the e reviews are saying. They give you a better idea of how you may respond to a piece of art.

6/10 games can be good games. 7/10 games can be good games. 8/10 games can be great games. 9/10 games can be amazing games. Games that are not a 10/10 are still very much worth your time I promise. Sometimes you can find a hidden gem this way & not even know it. Scores are subjective too. 👌🏻

Whose bright idea was it to come to one of the busiest places in the city on FamilyDay? Mine. It was mine. And I fully regret it.

Okay, after watching those first two episodes, I wish YellowJackets Season 3 was all out now.

so much of what has gone sideways in conversations about pop culture in the last few years is basically the "are you trying to order a milkshake from Home Depot" tweet there is so little curiosity about what a piece of media is TRYING to do, so how do you know if it accomplished it or not?!?

Just discovered that there was a live script reading of The Muppet Movie featuring many favourite Hollywood actors to raise money to help those affected by the California fires - and it’s available online for a limited time! Amazing. www.squadup.com/events/the-m...

It's like if beanie babies were made of asbestos.

Just did it myself. Just because.

Hand-colored film was dominated by the French and specifically French women. You will see ads boasting of "Paris color." The women worked with tiny brushes painting color on every individual fame. Each print was hand-crafted as a result. (Color movie film wasn't a thing, they couldn't just dupe)

When people say “fighting over correct language is a distraction from the real struggle”- point to this moment when fascists want to make people and issues disappear by removing language that refers to them from the public.

"Humans should die off" is usually justified by pointing to the worst things certain groups of humans do. But those acts are usually done to innocent HUMANS who are treated as less valuable and less human than the ones hurting them. Defining humanity only by oppressors dehumanizes the oppressed.

Selling Tesla stock is the most impactful of these. Pretty much all of Musk's wealth is tied to Tesla's stock price and flooding the market with sell orders drives the price down. The biggest holder is Vanguard, who may manage your 401k, so shift out of any fund that holds it and tell them why.

It's worth reiterating - Microsoft's own research indicates that use of generative AI degrades critical thinking skills and erodes confidence in unassisted decision making.

free (and ad-free) movies that WB put on YouTube include: The Wind and the Lion (1975), Oh, God! (1977), Deathtrap (1982), True Stories (1986), The Mission (1986), Crossing Delancey (1988), SubUrbia (1996), Waiting for Guffman (1996), Michael Collins (1996), AND some real turkeys. (see next post.)
