There is nothing brave or new in CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD. It's a tap dancing vision of a Black Captain America. My review via @ebertvoices.bsky.social.

A good news story in the midst of so much bleakness. This is really wonderful. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Sigh. 1. There’s always been a place to do that. They’re called “libraries.” 2. Plenty of people still don’t have great access to internet or computers. 3. LLMs were not made to educate people, but rather to steal people’s work and livelihoods. 4. They’re wrong a LOT.

For *years* now, like every few months I have to write a variation on the same post about how Elon is not about free speech, and that he's deeply censorial. And days later I always see yet another media person or politician refer to what he's doing as "free speech absolutism." It's so stupid.

Just read up on water striders and their placement is correct. Praying mantis placement is problematic.

When I was a barista we had a regular, in his 90s, never spoke to anybody, pretty out of it. They said “If Mick speaks to you, you know you made an impression.” I’ll never forget the time I greeted him and he looked me in the eye and said: “Coffee, gayboy”
